Old Joe wasn't a robber baron, he made his money bootlegging during Prohibition! Then he used some of that money to buy into Hollywood and film production! Before Prohibition ever came about, Old Joe made tons of money on Wall Street using extremely crooked tactics including insider trading with information gathered while being a state bank examiner. How the Kennedy Empire was Built ...and Other Scandals
By the time he used his money to get into Hollywood, Old Joe's reputation as a Wall Street Robber Baron was well established. The Robber Baron and the Film Industry
Whether he was a "Robber Baron" or not depends on how you define the term.
Can we agree to call him a "Scumbag"? :-)

That's an insult to Benedict Arnold. Arnold was a brilliant military commander until politics screwed him to the point of treason.
What has Ted ever done that was even remotely beneficially brilliant?
To: Calvin Locke
The only thing Ted could do that would be beneficial would be to drink himself into an early grave.

JFK would not, I repeat not, recognize the party he was the leader of. All Presidents have speech writers, all of them. He was an entirely different breed of Democrat and to compare his policies and beliefs to his brother, or to the party leaders now is just plain wrong. I don't like RATS either, but they were not all like they are now.

Why in the hell any person claiming to be a conservyive and who had lived throught the Kennedy period as an adult would excuse Kennedy or his administration is beyond me. The Kennedy period was the ascendency of a left wing madhouse buttered up with Ted Sorensen's speach writing. Kennedy was the first Bill Clinton. Or perhaps it should be said Clinton was the second Jack Kennedy with a little more freedom to act nuts because the social barriers to doing so have been eroded.

Ummm, I think he's quite past any references to "an early grave". Then again, The Boston Globe would always show a
picture of Ted pushing Mommy Rose in a wheelchair on Mother's Day.
Come to think of it, what is it with liberals so fixated on showing pictures of people pushing wheelchairs?

My clymer of an ex-father-in-law used to be a banker. Once, discussing his former bank, he pointed out
that you have to put capital to use. If you have crappy economic conditions in the local area, you look to export
that idle capital - entertainment, oil, whatever looks good or safe or you get a big bonus for loan...

I'd never looked into it because frankly I wasn't that interested in Old Joe. It sounds like he was as big a weasel in business as he was in his marriage!
