The way I figure it, Teddy has depleated the coffers of old Jack bailing out all the Kennedy kin from one scrape or another with the law.
Well we know old Jack made the family fortune through bootlegging during Prohibition. I figure the reason old Teddy is so on the anti-smoker ban(d) wagon is that he needs to replenish the coffers and is going to further follow in Daddy's footsteps.
He sure IS vile. Not only to look at, but he put a bill in this week to have tobacco regulated by the FDA. He's a pig!
