Memo to Caroline Kennedy: Stop trying to force your son on America
NY Post ^ | 8-9-17 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 08/09/2017 9:39:40 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

On Tuesday, New York magazine published an essay by a 24-year-old law student who recently paddleboarded around Manhattan for the first time.

“I signed up for the race because I thought it sounded cool,” writes our participant. “Of course, when I asked around, everyone said it was really hard and I’d better start training.”

The smugness, the entitlement, the painfully obvious observation — one might wonder: Who cares?

Until you look at the byline and realize: Oh, of course. Another Kennedy foisted upon us.

Our diarist is none other than Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, son of Caroline, accomplishment-free save for that 25-mile race around Manhattan — which he curiously notes he lives “on” rather than “in.”

This semi-self-deprecating essay is juxtaposed with 14 portraits of Jack in black-and-white on his big day, muscular and shirtless and smiling, just one of the guys. He resembles no one so much as his late Uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., who, until his untimely death in 1999, was the Kennedy family’s last last great hope.

Is anyone asking for this?

I think you were able to vote for Bobby though, you’d be in your late 60s.

“Accomplishment-free” seems to be the DemonRAT leadership meme.

Why are you picking on poor Teddy? You have to at least give him credit for being sober for almost eight years now.

... he’s already way ahead of the other 3rd generation Kennedys

Isn't he part of the fourth generation of Kennedys? Or are you saying that JFK, Bobby, etc. were the first generation?

The smarter Dems (yes, they do exist) don’t wish to revive all that Kennedy mythology and adoration. Not now.

1960 was a long time ago and the magic doesn't last forever.

Maybe if there was anybody impressive in the family now Democrats would try to capitalize on that, but there isn't.

Caroline and her kids won't stop, though, because publicity is their bread and butter.

The 2016 election and the friendly relations with the Clinton Crime Family revealed the Bush family’s absolute lack of class.

I,The last gasp of the Kennedy mystique died with Teddy, if you were old enough to vote for JFK you would be in your late 70’s today. To anybody under 50 Kennedy was someone you read about in History class.

1960 was the first time I was eligible to vote in a Federal election, I voted Dem for the last time, but never changed my registration. Too much fun voting in the primaries since!

I matured quickly!

This country was founded so our ancestors would not have to deal with dynasties. No more Clintons, no more Bushes, and no more Kennedies. Is that clear?

I would eagerly fight to the death to prevent future dynasties of any sort. With rocks, if I have to.

Was she dropped on her head as a child?

No, but she once had a very violent high speed vehicular collision with a Valley Girl

With apparently some subsequent extensive familiarity with serious illegal drugs...

The quote from the paper reminded me of Luther Heggs’ immortal line, “The horribleness and awfulness of it will never actually be forgotten.”

I guess Ted Sorenson isn’t around to ghostwrite for young Jack like he did for granddad.
