OMG... this is the first "speech" I've ever heard by Patrick "Patches" Kennedy... what an appalling, barf-inducing dweeb! He's a sniveling, whiny "poor" little rich kid...

Anyone else sickened by all this talk of yacht races? Oh yeah... just like MY childhood in New England...

It gets worse ... 0 up.

You never had yacht races???

You never took plywood, nailed roller skates to one side and rolled them down the street and call them yacht races???

Didn’t everyone?

I’d bet the Kennedy Family had LOTS of roller skates to do that with...

Cuz, Gosh Knows he didn’t mean an actual yacht, could he??

Like with Peter Lawford...the common folk...

...I hate that family...

Darn didn't realize there was a live thread so I resorted to talking to walls. I too was unimpressed listening to Patrick speak after his brother gave a more moving one that even touched me.

Will read the thread after this post but I wonder if anyone felt sorry for Joan Kennedy hearing all the accolades paid to Vickie calling her his soul mate and only 'true love'. We hear Joan's kids are quite devoted to her and wonder why they didn't see it fitting that she sit besides them with the family. BTW where did they seat her?

Also curious if anyone felt GWB, although not snubbed, certainly did not seem welcomed into the inner circle and didn't look too pleased with the Obamas, especially not kissing Ma Belle.
