The Kennedys are a class act.

Whether or not you agree with their politics, they are socially the most gracious. If only my MIL would take notes (and they are far from the Kennedys, for certain!!!!)

While this is a light topic, it is nonetheless nice to see old fashioned class once in a while.

Do you realize that the Mary Kennedy's grave was moved and kicked out of the family plot? Class act my @ss.

[Anonymous]

I thought her family wanted it out of there and sued to have it moved?
But agree PP. They are anything but classy.

Plus the whole thing started because the mother of the bribe told the press that Taylor Swift and her Kennedy bf crashed the wedding!

Classy?
They behave worse than the irish peasants that they are descended from

Or my personal favorite, having one of their kids lobotomized. For having a lower-than-average IQ. And sneaking out of the convent they sent her to.

Real class act, those Kennedys.

What does that article have to do with the Kennedys class (or lack of)?

Agree. And it's kind of old news at this point.

And then there's all that rampant alcoholism...

Oh yes, William Kennedy Smith was a real class act. Ditto Michael Skakel.

Mary Jo Kopechne may not agree.

There are many legitimate reasons to criticize the Kennedys. Lobotomization and institutionalization of developmentally challenged children was the absolute standard of care at the time when Rose Kennedy did it. You should familiarize yourself with the RFKs' family foundation "Best Buddies" to really appreciate what an ignorant swipe you are taking at them on that issue. You are clueless.

Institutionalization, yes. I agree.

Lobotomization? Hardly. Please indicate the data on which you are relying.
