She didn’t kill Martha Moxley, just a relative of hers. It’s a wicked family, but she didn’t ask to be born into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was driven to it by their depravity. Although JFK was a tax-cutting cold warrior, and grampa Robert was a die-hard McCarthy-ite. But the shame of Uncle Teddy and William Kennedy Smith, and the guy who boinked his kids’ baby sitter then skiied into a tree probably weighed on her.
Knowing basically nothing about her I'm not inclined to do so.However:
Some years ago you may recall an incident involving rape and William Kennedy Smith. While commenting to reporters on the story his uncle,the senior Senator from Chappaquiddick,said something like "well,in a big Irish family like ours you're bound to have a few difficult situations". (Not an exact quote).
Well,my family is every bit as big as theirs.And my family is every bit as Irish as theirs (both my parents were born in Ireland).
However,not a *single* member of my large Irish family has ever been a heroin addict (or any kind of addict). Not a single member of my family has ever died of a heroin OD. Not a single member of my family has had a young woman die in his or her car. Not a single member of my family has ever been convicted of murder.Not a single member of my family has ever been accused of rape.Not a single member of my family has ever crippled a woman (or man) in car he/she was driving. And not a single member of my large Irish family has ever been accused of diddling a 13 year old babysitter.
I've lived here all my life.My guess is that I know more about the Kennedys than you do.Perhaps a lot more.This dead girl may not have been "depraved"....but if not she is certainly the *product* of depravity.
*Breathtaking* depravity.
We were just talking about the “babysitter” scandal. My son knew the babysitter quite well and my daughter was friendly with the whole family. Both of my sons have serious doubts that Michael Kennedy’s skiing accident was really an accident. The girl’s father is quite wealthy and well connected and they think the “accident” was arranged.
It was her choice not to rise above it.
