And on a more serious note, one thing this affair shows is that once again, the Kennedy clan (KC) lives by different rules. Whether it's Edward Kennedy getting off in the Mary Jo Kopechne case, when any of us would have likely been charged with a) drunk driving, b) leaving the scene, c) lying in an investigation, or whether it's this very same Michael Kennedy getting off with his underage babysitter....
Joe Kennedy was a common thug, no different from the Gambinos and the Genoveses. He made millions of dollars during the prohibition smuggling whiskey from Canada. He personally murdered numerous of fellow drug dealers and law enforcement officers (OK, he's not all bad :-) and dozens more were murdered on his orders. He then bought political offices for his kids, which is precisely what his colleagues - cocaine and heroin deales from Cali, medellin, etc cartels - get blamed for in Mexico and Colombia. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
