@mcfate the family can do as they please, but this is ABC news. The press should aim higher.

@mcfate @MookyTroubadour
Yes, I think they have no desire to go there

@Idissent @mcfate sure, but is this a statement from the Kennedy family, or from ABC news? The whacko is newsworthy, acting as a deranged puppet for an inept and probably foreign compromised would-be dictator. She birthed this present problem.

@MookyTroubadour @Idissent

It's an obituary. She's dead, she's beyond being held responsible for him, if she ever was.

@mcfate @Idissent it’s more a matter of appropriate crediting, versus hold her to account.

@MookyTroubadour @Idissent

Whatever it might be, it's hard for me to get terribly excited about it.

@mcfate @MookyTroubadour @Idissent I think we all are the product of genetics and culture , in the genetics part she is not guilty , it is nature , but in the culture part I think she is guilty, the way they raised him .

@Jorro @MookyTroubadour @Idissent

The man's about sixty, he's presumably been responsible for himself for some time now. He is what he is.

@mcfate @MookyTroubadour @Idissent yes , I understand that but imagine if you are born in a super famous family, no limitations on anything, you have money and everything that comes with it, maybe ( and I’m saying maybe, I don’t know about his childhood obviously) maybe he was raised in a dysfunctional family and he is the result of that ?

@Jorro @MookyTroubadour @Idissent

Like I say, he's got siblings who aren't overtly weird, and who don't seem to think a lot of him.

@mcfate @MookyTroubadour @Idissent yes, but the same happens in every family, people have children, not clones , everyone is different.

@Jorro @MookyTroubadour @Idissent

My point is that it's facile to appeal to imagined "dysfunctional families", especially in the context of "crediting" his dead mom for him.

I have no idea what the point of these attempts at handing out "credit" are supposed to be.

Everybody's got a mom. Jack the Ripper had a mom.

@Jorro @MookyTroubadour @Idissent

For that matter, he's got siblings who aren't obvious maniacs.
