The marriage was likely one 'to the right sort of people' and I'd just about bet it was arranged (Rose's tendrils anyone?), as much for appearances sake as anything.

Unfortunately, there were Kennedy worshippers (still are), and now we are faced with the current lot the media and idiots have been fawning over. Crimes will continue to be hidden at the highest levels for the duration unless the MSM gets the sight glass in its collective navel cleaned and really sees what they are doing to our country by not just supporting the current fellow, but shielding him from reasonable and serious inquiry.
