Brutal review of Kennedy.
Via Weekly Standard:
A few years ago Boston honored Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy—the mother of President John F. Kennedy as well as Senators (and presidential candidates) Teddy and Robert Kennedy—by naming its newly reclaimed Greenway after her. Two of her daughters also achieved great success in public service: Eunice Kennedy Shriver helped found the Special Olympics and Jean Kennedy Smith served as Ambassador to Ireland, where she played a critical role in the Irish peace process.
While their offspring may have made genuine contributions to American society, Rose and Joseph Kennedy had other children as well, and their treatment of one of them, a daughter named Rosemary, puts lie to any notion that Rose was an exemplar of motherhood. Honoring her name with the Greenway is an outrage.
