Fergit it. It would just start looking like the world's largest ball of twine.

Mary Kennedy went to her grave convinced that her husband, RFK Jr., had a fling with the wife of the man who broke up the marriage of his sister and Andrew Cuomo, The Post has learned.
A heartbroken Mary confided to a group of her closest friends that she believed Robert Kennedy Jr. had an affair with well-connected fund-raiser Ann Colley, two of her confidants told The Post.
One source who claimed to have been told about the purported hookup said that, if true, “an affair with the wife of his sister’s paramour is particularly tacky — even for a Kennedy!”
Mary told friends the alleged affair started after Colley’s polo-playing husband, Bruce, began his highly publicized 2003 fling with Kerry, sparking Kerry’s nasty split from now-Gov. Cuomo.
Bobby Kennedy Jr. had been asked to step in as a peacemaker when the Cuomo-and-Kennedy scandal erupted.
Instead, Mary told friends, Bobby wound up “consoling” Ann, a longtime board member of RFK Jr.’s Riverkeeper environmental group.
Both Cuomo and Ann Colley divorced their spouses in the wake of the scandal.

Mary Kennedy hanged herself in her Westchester home last week.
Friends said she was inconsolable after Bobby filed to divorce her in 2010, cutting her off financially and parading new girlfriends in public.
The purported Colley affair was one of several a devastated Mary claimed she endured for much of her marriage.
“It just broke her heart,” said one friend. “And he didn’t care. He threw it back in her face, again and again.”
Since Mary’s May 19 funeral, the Kennedys — including Kerry, who was a “best friend” and boarding-school roommate of Mary’s — have been very vocal about what they claim was her longtime battle with depression.

Chapter 1: The Kennedys are pigs.
Chapter 2: The Kennedys are gangsters.
The End
OK, that makes sense out of the headline.
Let's try again:
Bobby married Mary.
Bobby bedded Ann Colley.
Ann Colley was married to Bruce Colley.
Bruce Colley played polo (how’d THAT get in here?)
Bruce bedded Kerry (Bobby's sister)
Kerry was married to Cuomo.
Just another day at the office, in New England Democratic politics.
This is "Camelot" to the depraved.
The link below gets into the sexual antics of the inbred Kennedys, and why they get by with it. While reading the article remember it was written 4 years ago before Mary’s apparent suicide:
Reckless Sex and Power III: The Top Seven Kennedy Sex Scandals
Kennedys’ reckless sex
Published on May 21, 2008 by Stanton Peele in Addiction in Society
As Ted Kennedy’s malignant brain tumor became public knowledge, opponents, friends, and pundits rushed to laud his accomplishments. Serving in the Senate since 1962, Ted Kennedy has been one of our most accomplished legislators. He has a big heart, works hard, and is extremely knowledgeable about both legislative content and procedure. Sometimes Kennedy (as when he vehemently opposed entering the war in Iraq) seems like the only American politician who can speak his mind freely. His efforts on behalf of those without privilege or power - as in the case of health care - are especially important and admirable.
Little has been said about his prior legal, marital, and ethical lapses, on the other hand. These are typical omissions in polite society. (I wonder if supporters feel that if they don’t remind God of his lapses, Kennedy is more likely to get into Heaven.) However, as scientists of the mind, we at PT blogs are obligated to consider the entire range of human behavior. And the various Kennedys’ sexual misdeeds are so notable that they raise - once again - the question of the relationship between power, recklessness, and sex. (See Why Politicians Get Laid More - the Low Road to the High Life, Sex Addicts Anonymous Meeting, Politicians’ Division, and Edwards’ confession shows us just how nutty and narcissistic he is.)
Here, in reverse order of importance, are the top seven Kennedy sex scandals:
7. Joe Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy and former Congressman, secretly had his 12-year marriage to Sheila Rauch annulled by the Vatican. Rauch only found out about the annulment years later, after Kennedy remarried. She wrote a very angry book about the experience, Shattered Faith, since the Church’s decreeing that the marriage never existed left her twin sons in everlasting limbo. Rauch pointed out that only powerful people like the Kennedy’s could unilaterally cancel 12 years of marriage. (This raises the question of whether the Church can gain entry to Heaven for powerful people who have sinned.)
6. One of the storied political couplings of the twentieth century was between Andrew Cuomo, son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, and Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert Kennedy. The younger Cuomo was forced to withdraw his own bid for the governorship (although he is now New York’s Attorney General) in 2002 when it was revealed that his wife, to whom he had been married 13 years and with whom he had three daughters, had been having a long-term affair with a married man. Kerry Kenedy’s philandering shows that Kennedy disregard for marital niceties extends to the distaff side of the family as well.
5. An extremely unappetizing Kennedy scandal involved Joe’s brother and campaign manager, Michael. Like his brother and sister, Michael was stably married with children when it was revealed he had been having an affair with a family babysitter, beginning when the girl was 14! This, of course, is a crime that would get a non-Kennedy registered as a sexual predator. For some reason (perhaps bribery and threats to her and her family), the girl refused to press charges, and Kennedy enteredtreatment for sex and alcohol addiction. Michael Kennedy had been keeping an extremely low profile when he died in an accident on a family skiing trip.
4. All of these scandals concerned third-generation Kennedy’s. But the stories of sexual assaults, infidelity, and religious hypocrisy began with the family’s patriarch, Joe Kennedy. In Swanson on Swanson, silent screen star Gloria Swanson revealed having an affair with Kennedy when, she claimed, he forced himself on her during his business trips to Hollywood when he left his saintly wife, Rose, at home in Massachusetts. (Swanson was most pissed off that, despite his legendary financial acumen, Joe lost a ton of her dough.) Other Kennedy family historians report that the elder Kennedy made advances on his sons’ girlfriends!
3. Back to the younger Kennedy’s, in 1991 Kennedy nephew William Smith was charged with rape while staying with uncle Teddy in the family’s seaside estate in Palm Beach, FL. The woman claimed she met Smith at a night club at which he was accompanied by Ted Kennedy and his son, Patrick. Later, while ostensibly showing her around the estate, Smith began pursuing and pawing her as she tried to escape. Other women were found who described having similar experiences with the Kennedy nephew, but Smith was acquitted.
2. Both President Jack Kennedy - whose sexual escapades were legendary - and younger brother Bobby had closely contiguous sexual liaisons with Marilyn Monroe. Numerous conspiracy theories have been developed around the Kennedys’ involvement in Monroe’s death, which occurred in the aftermath of these affairs. At a minimum, the relationships were extremely damaging to Monroe’s fragile mental health.
1. What could most interfere with Ted Kennedy’s passage to Heaven (as it frustrated his aspirations to be president) was his involvement in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Following a party with six young female campaign workers on the island of Chappaquiddick, Kennedy was giving Kopechne a ride back to her hotel when he drove off a bridge. Kopechne drowned in the car, and Kennedy left the scene to consult with Kennedy family advisers. In fact, he never reported the incident, which was discovered independently the next morning! Kennedy was charged only with leaving the scene of an accident.
Of course, you and I can wonder how our lives would have been derailed if we were involved in a situation like this (Kennedy was married). But the Kennedy’s are not deterred by such experiences, as the subsequent actions of his nephews and niece indicate. Are there separate rules - both legal and psychological - for people like the Kennedy’s?
You said it. As I’ve pointed out, these Izod wearing, Topsider-shod, scotch-drinking, wall-eyed haemophiliac old money inbreds are worse than any denizen of a dead Appalachian coal patch.
Ross Perot wasn’t just speaking metaphorically when he talked about the crazy aunt the attic. Look at John E. du Pont.
So... if Mr. Bean, and Orson Bean were at the funeral, we’d have Bangers, Beans, and Bacon !
I had to learn some things the hard way when I was young. Some of her struggles I could relate to (not the second marriage though).
I shouldn't gossip about this mess but she seemed so trapped. Depression with a considerate and faithful mate is highly treatable. But prescription drugs don't mix with booze.
The article said she chose to hang herself because if she overdosed, the Kennedys would cover it up. I think she had a lot of anger which caused her depression to deepen. I don't know if it's true or celebrity gossip but if only she hadn't been beguiled by the Kennedys. Maybe that was part of her relationship with Kerry.
Who knows how he feels? It sure left a trainwreck of grief on the part of others in its wake. I wish she hadn't done it and found some way to weather the storm. Her kids were close to being grown, and the time passes quickly. Her family would have helped her I think.
I think she couldn't face her marriage was damaged beyond repair and survived on false hope because facing anything else was just too painful.
This is what Kennedys do. It’s a part of their inbred DNA.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
Joe Kennedy’s marriage to Sheila Rauch was not annulled
She fought all the way up to the Vatican and she won, the Vatican reversed the annulment. Too bad Mary ddidn’t have some of her steel

There is a whole social set of these misogynists in the Boston area, sick, sick people with two things in common, dysfunctional families and boarding schools. It perpetuates the culture and ensures that the family members have no role models and never reach a high enough level of maturity to be part of any functional relationship.
“an affair with the wife of his sister’s paramour is particularly tacky — even for a Kennedy!”
Hey, it was Friday night... she was home alone... what’s the big deal? /sarc
“She even looks like she could be related to them.”
That might even make it extra good, for one of them.
I need a flowchart
Sounds about exactly what I would expect from this depraved crew.
That is some account of liberal depravity. Here is another. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/kerry-kennedy-reportedly-to-make-millions-off-rain-forest-advocacy-and-attacking-big-oil/
Let’s not forget that Kennedy was married when Mary started doing him. Makes it hard to feel sorry for Mary.
Corroborating narrative from Wiki article about Swanson:
“While still married to Henri, Swanson had an affair with the married Joseph P. Kennedy for a number of years. He became her business partner and their relationship was an open secret in Hollywood. He took over all of her personal and business affairs and was supposed to make her millions. Unfortunately, Kennedy left her after the disastrous Queen Kelly, and her finances were in worse shape than when he came into her life. “
