Born a millionaire, died a millionaire. Dad made his millions running illegal alcohol during prohibition. The whole family was (and is) corrupt.

The people of Massachusetts are some of the dumbest (or corrupt) voters on the planet.

After this story came to light, didn't Ted use it as a slogan for his 1980 presidential run? "A Blonde in Every Pond" !
ReplyDeleteThink that they didn't want this one to reach the screen? Listen how they'll howl when somebody creates "Marilyn's Last Day".
ReplyDeleteWho? He the one that died in the plane crash?
ReplyDelete9:56 NO, he is the one that was a senator and slept 99% of the time he was in office. He was a 1st. class drunk.
