Full title: The great woman behind the Kennedy men: Rare and never before seen pictures shed light on Rose Kennedy as the matriarch of America's celebrated dynasty


A month before the nation marks the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, a new photo book put together by Caroline Kennedy tells the story of her remarkable family through the eyes of her indomitable grandmother.

Rose Kennedy's Family Album, which went on sale Tuesday, features a trove of 300 images - many of them never made public before - taken between 1878 and 1946, when John F. Kennedy won the Democratic nomination during his first run for Congress.

The photo history of the Kennedy clan told from the perspective of the spirited matriarch, Rose Kennedy, covers everything from the family's first home to beach vacations, children's birthdays to first Communions.

And this is important to whom? Just think how much better this country would have been throughout our lifetimes, if she had used birth control! She was like a mongrel dog with her “litters” of Liberal trash.

The only idiots that celebrated the Ks were brain dead Democrats.

Does she tell why Rose let them Lobotomize her daughter and why she did nothing while Joe was humping Movie Stars?

A little anecdote I heard a while back, but I don’t know if it’s true or not...

There was a punk band in the 80s called “The Dead Kennedys.”

Apparently the Kennedy Klan took exception to the name, and asked them to change it.

They said sure, and that they would change their name to “Ted’s Next.”

The Kennedys said never mind.

Well, it’s good to see what the liberals are pushing. Apparently they want to market the Kennedy family some more, and with the 50the anniversary of the JFK assassination, Caroline thought it was a good time to market the book.

Can’t wait to see this book in the sale bin at a 99 Cent store soon.........................

Given Caroline’s IQ I’m kind of surprised it’s not a coloring book.

Speaking only of the Kennedy males (I don't know enough about the females to judge them) I had...and still have...a good amount of respect for JFK in spite of him having been a very imperfect man.What little I know about Joe Jr,who died in WWII,suggests that he's worthy of respect as well.As for the rest...starting with “Teddy” and “Bobby” and going down to the sons,nephews,etc and including the Old Man as well (Joe Sr)....filth.Absolutely worthless,despicable filth.

Gee, no pics of Rose and Joe bringing Rosemary in for her lobotomy.

For those who think prefrontal lobotomy is a delicate, precise surgical procedure you should watch this PBS documentary about Walter "Icepick" Freeman, the Kermit Gosnell of Psychology

The procedure is basically stabbing an icepick through the skull at the back of the eye socket, pushing the pick into the forward part of the brain and stirring until the 'surgeon' is sufficiently pleased with himself.

Nice people, these doctors. Nice people, these Kennedys.

It's the same every year about Thanksgiving... we are peppered with new and old, some true but mostly howling revisionist lies, photos, documentaries, accounts and memoirs, etc...

We are coerced and conned into keeping them in our collective memory like ‘American aristocracy’...AS IF they weren't some of the most corrupt and dysfunctional individuals who ever populated American politics and public life!

Whatever. I still need to see how to build a proper compound and to see if a ‘Rat Compound is demonstrably different from the compounds of “others”.
