Kennedys

Just read very quickly Laurie Graham's Importance of being Kennedy. I enjoyed the similar book she wrote about the Duke of Windsor. This was not so good. It just reminded me what an unattractive and calculating people the Kennedy's were. Teddy is seen as a nasty little tubber, old Rose Kennedy was a total shrew and all the dead ones were ok. Apparently young simple Rosie Kennedy was tolerated until the hormones kicked in and then she was given a botched lobotomy and sent off to lala land. It's all told through the eyes of the Irish nanny.
