But that’s what I’m saying!!!

Sticking your tongue out at someone is childish; giving someone the finger is trashy. You can outgrow childish, but trashy is forever.

I don’t think much of her grandmother ever since I heard what she said as she looked out of her mansion and observed the “parking lot’ for her estate employees. She noticed nice looking automobiles, new, classy, etc.

She said, “What is the good of having money if everyone else has what you have?”

[kenmcg]

Garbage in garbage out!!

[GOPsterinMA]

Well put!

If old Joe was around, he would have had Caroline’s brain scrambled for marrying a non-Christian.

The more I see of Rose the more convinced I am that she is Not Guilty.

[FourPeas]

I've heard it called the Rule of the Third Generation. As the generations get farther from the initial one who gained/earned money, they tend to get more and more spoiled and entitled. The little princess has likely been catered to all her life and knows nothing different than acting any way she pleases and having it excused because she's ‘A Kennedy’.

[Arkansas Toothpick]

We need the Kennedys. Americans need to have a family of tragedy, excess and wasted lives. It’s our reality TV before reality TV existed. They are the ultimate fishbowl.

I take a vodka drink,I take a whiskey drink,p-—ing the nite away!

Let's knock them down, so they won't get back up again.

[Nevermore]

I really hate doing this (i.e., coming to the defense of anyone with "Kennedy" in their name), but she is not a media figure. I would probably do the same if I was tired of uninvited cameras panning my every move in public (or private).What "shocks" me is that anyone in the media is "shocked" about this.

[GOPsterinMA]

FourPeas hits the nail on the head!

[jpsb]

"Didn’t one of the Bush daughters do this? Or did she stick out her tongue?"

Oh now you've done it! I really don't see what the big deal is. At most a very glaring lack of appropriate decorum. She is a young girl, not involved in politics (thank goodness). Cut her a little lack. If she was flipping off the media, fine they deserved it. If she was just flipping off some asshole in the crowd, fine that is her right. These days the "bird" is almost a friendly greeting gesture with the younger set. I don't see what is to get all upset about. And what ever happened to leaving non-polictical kids alone?

[trisham]

Uhhh...I believe we do have Chicago bookies and mafioso running things...

********************

Good point.

[trisham]

Wow.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

True. Having raised three sons, I know first hand what they should so and what they do will make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Flipping someone off is not the worse offense by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, such behavior in a funeral procession knowing cameras are recording every movement shows a lack of judgment a 20 year old should have.

Class...you either have it or you don't. In a funeral procession of a man regarded by his family and others as “The Lion of the Senate” conveys a lack of class.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I haven’t figured out why she was flipping them off — haven’t they done everything they could to help the Kennedy Clan?

[GOPsterinMA]

Ingrateful little brat is all.

[MayflowerMadam]

Can you imagine any of Sarah’s kids flipping the bird? Maybe, but doubt it.

[DejaJude]

Probably someone in the crowd had a sign about Mary Jo and that is the typical Kennedy response to it.

[GOPsterinMA]

Wow, that’s a really good theory. What’s sad is you’re right about the Kennedy response.
