Such a tragic family.

"Tragic" .... a much overused term ... and don't forget Joe Sr. was yanked from England as the US ambassador during the Battle of Britain for comments like "Democracy is finished in Britain" .... Kennedys are overated .... The positive thing about JFK's assassination is that it rescued his image. Bay of Pigs, escalation of the Viet Nam war, taking the world to the brink, screwing Marilyn Monroe .... what a sterling record as President! And Ted, a great date, but don't let him drive you home.
