I would have loved to have heard a dinner conversation between Prescott Bush and Rotten Joe Kennedy. "Well. I may be an Anti-Semite but I don't do business with Nazi's." "At least I didn't lobotimize my own daughter." "But I didn't try to overthrow the US government!' "Well at least I didn't bang my mistress while I was on vacation with my family!" Hopefully. They are in hell together now. What great patriarchs of such wonderful families!
He got his name "Rotten Joe" because one of his first business enterprises was selling moldy apples in New England. Housewives after buying his apples would shake their fists and curse "Rotten Joe." I guess politics was the final logical step. Winston Churchill hated every atom of the man and pleaded with FDR to remove him from England.
