RFK Jr. on Teddy's Mental State One Week Before His Death

[observer9670]

There were comments from the media about Ted not attending Eunice's funeral which as broadcast live. I assumed tat it was because he didn't want his deteriorating physical condition to be the story that day. It was supposed to be a day to celebrate the life of his sister and if he showed up, the story would have been about how bad he looked. Ted did slip in, quietly, for Eunice's wake.

I would love to see RFK Jr. in the Senate or run for President. He is super intelligent, and most importantly, compassionate, like his father. It shows STRENGTH that he overcame drug addiction and became so interested in helping us as a society, and the Wildlife he has cherished since he was a boy...

[cracks21229]

Why didn't RFK, Jr. ever run for the U. S. Senate? Big deal, he used drugs. He'd make a great U. S. Senator.

Hi Bobby

[SearchForTomorrow]

i love the kennedys

God bless them :-)

[sk4257]

At last the brothers are dead nixon is having one hell of a party in hell

[shonholmes]

No teddy is the one that got drunk and murdered a woman. He also used his power to get his nephew (that never served in any branch of service) a military burial as sea off of a commisioned war vessal..........Thats Teddy Boy!

[pat442389]

@shonholmes he was a son of an assassinated president... its not like he was some loser who donated to the democrats during campaign season. relax dont act like the republicans are so holy cause theyre 10 times worse. at least the kennedys avoided wars instead of lying to the world to get an invasion of iraq. or what reagan did when he helped traffic millions of pounds of drugs and billions of dollars of weapons in and out of this country to terrorists including osama bin ladin

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 So your saying that military protocol states that when your father is president, and gets killed....all of his children are afforded this benifit? Please show me where this is written and I'll compose a heartfelt apology.

[pat442389]

@shonholmes no what im saying is his father and uncle are military heroes, his grandfather, father and uncles have all been involved in our government. his father was a president who was assassinated. i think its totally ok for him to be buried in arlington. dont army wives or spouses get to be buried there? they could be useless gold digging whores? but because your a republican this is somehow a big issue? that family gave more then enough to this republic let him rest in peace

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 JFK jr wasnt buried in Arlington. His remains were tossed of the side of a U.S. battleship. Thats an honor that is bestowed upon a very select few war veterans. Teddy boy used is influence to get his nephew that honor. A nephew that never served a day in any branch. Its a disgrace for ANY politician to use his name for such a personal benefit, Democrat or Republican. What your saying is that because his family members served in honor, so should any member of the family?? Typical ted

[pat442389]

@shonholmes is it really that much of an honor to get your ashes tossed off a battleship? are you that jealous? is the atlantic ocean gonna run outta room sometime because all the kennedys have special burial rights? honestly if lincolns son wanted this burial id give it to him, or mckinnleys or the other assassinated pres. and honestly would u want john jr to serve? all it would do is create a huge headache for the army and endanger the lives of his company.

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 Your missing the point dumbass. My point is that Teddy Boy used his power to get something personal. Very few others would even dream of getting this benefit. It was typical Kennedy politcs. Smarten up. Teddy Boy was a drunkard that had a silver spoon.

[pat442389]

@shonholmes ill give you that teddy was the most immature and privileged of the family, but why does this bother you? its not like it cost millions of dollars or something. if your father left right center or communist was a president who was assassinated id let you be buried wherever you want. that family gave a lot to our democracy whether you like teddy or not. its not like bill clinton and others didnt approve of this to. John jr was one of americas best and the world loved him.

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 It bothers me because there are far more wothy people that would love to have this privledge. People that have served America in all facets. JFK jr. was the son of an assanated President. Thats all. To extend benefits to family members based soley on popularity, is a disgrace to America. It cheapens what we have as a country. I saw this as a slap in the face from Teddy to all of America. "He's my nephew, and his dad was beloved. I'll get that done".

A total disgrace.

[shonholmes]

@shonholmes Its not the cost that botherd me but now that you mention it, that cost you and me 2.2 million dollars.

That cost was NEVER paid for by Teddy boy.

[pat442389]

@shonholmes well these ships are sailing around the world at all times doing stupid drills and tests 6 or 8 months outta the year. if this is a slap in the face to you then you have some serious anger problems or have no idea what the real problems are that a facing our country. why dont you bitch about the drugs getting into our country, the unsecured borders, the losing of our freedoms, the massive debt, the bailouts, wall sts takeover of our politicians, the tea party takeover by the right?

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 So what you are saying is that there are MORE important problems to deal with? Ok , agree on that point. But that arguement or point, could be said about ANY issue in the world. So to me when someone says "there are more important issues"..I take that as a coward running away. Cause in essence, thats what it is. The statement "there are more important issues" can be said about ANY problem in the world..In your world, you put the Kennedys on a pedastal and bow. Teddy boy was scum.

[pat442389]

@shonholmes ok buddy then start lobbying your congressmen to speak out about this injustice. i mean who the fuck cares about the 2 wars in 3 or 4 different countries? who the fuck cares if our dollar collapses? seriously yeah im a coward because i dont care about someone over 10 years ago who was buried at sea. and your a moron for focusing on that. people like you are the reason this countries going down the toilet. u get all excited about this issue and forget about real problems

[shonholmes]

@pat442389 Too funny! You dumb mother fucker started off with some sem-intelligent commentary. But you lost what little sense you had. First off, We were discussing one issue. That issue was JFK jr and His blowhard uncle. You lost your arguement, and tried to change the arguement by bringing up all the other problems in the world!!! No doubt there are problems, but damn you ran away when you realized you lost your argument!! Next time, dont comment on shit when you cant back it up. I own you

[KongSunWu]

I get the Kennedy's confused. Is this the one that raped the babysitter?

[0907oliv]

For those who may not know, RFK Jr. has a voice disorder which he inherited from his grandmother Rose. There is a special organization which was established to help find a cure for it and he is on the board. I cannot recall the name of the condition off hand. It's ashame because aside from his voice, he is a great speaker .

[shonholmes]

@0907oliv yeah its called being fucked up.

[Jeannenyc57]

God Bless the Kennedy's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE]

How come RFK, Jr. always sounds like he's drunk or that he wrecked his voice by smoking heroine.

[Ella904]

@OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE It's always classy to mock someone who has a medical condition that affects his vocal cords and therefore alters his voice.

[OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE]

Oh, is that his execuse. So it was not caused by smoking crack like his cousins?

[jensmom604]

Probably bcause he is and he has.

[Lauzon12]

well said fishandfestival i was thinking the exact same thing about JFK jr when watching this video. such a pitty he's not still with us, but yet they have acomplished so much in ther short lives then sum people do in a life time!

God Bless..

[fishandfestival]

The Kennedy family has suffered so much tragedy...Such a great American family, but with so much tragedy...Imagine losing 2 senior members of your family in the space of 2 weeks, Eunice and then Teddy...I hope that one of the younger Kennedys will fill his huge shoes...It's such a pity that JFK Jr. is not alive to carry on the family legacy...He would've been a shoe-in for president...God bless the Kennedys!!!

[pat442389]

@fishandfestival RFK Jr is the last truly last great hope of democrats in this country. anthony weiners ok too but hes far too polarizing in my opinion to win national office. hopefully he will get into politics with a run for senator in new york or mass. then going on for the VP or President after 4-8 years as a senator

[Boomer1949]

I can't imagine what it must have been like for Teddy to know that his brain was being destroyed a little at a time and nothing could be done. What a horrible way to go.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone, no matter how much I disliked them.

[cassapollard]

@Boomer1949 I cannot imagine how Mary Jo felt as the water was filling up in the car and Teddy walked away. Whaat a horrible way to go.

[backlighting]

The SOB is dead. Should have died 40 years ago instead Mary Jo. 47 years of Senatorial Hell foisted upon us by the state of Massachusetts and his bootlegger father.

Now the Dems are going to try to ride his corpse to "health care reform", which in essence, is the looting of the productive for the unproductive.

The dog is dead - let's bury the doo, his socialism, with it...

[scytheboy]

Stay classy.

[NoBamaYoMamma]

backlighting: "47 years of Senatorial Hell foisted upon us by the state of Massachusetts and his bootlegger father."

You are an idiot, Child; a 25 year old reason why abortion should be legal in some cases. (Like when cousins make it!)

Although I didn't agree with Edward Kennedy's politics his accomplishments are noteworthy, and public service commanding respect... So do try to keep that head out of your cullo, Bumpkins; otherwise your words remain muffled.

[bulldri9]

it must be so hard watching your loved one just slowly slipping away like that and knowing there is nothing you can do about it

[MRindependentTHINK]

you seem to be having some difficulty yourself

[Kaimosae]

If you are speaking of RFK jr. he has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, its an involuntary movement disorder that affects the voice box.
