From Robert Whitcomb's "Digital Diary,'' in GoLocal24.com
Poor Massachusetts Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III – the thoughtful, very well informed and disciplined young man who has put a lot behavioral space between himself and a family too many of whose members are known for out-of-control and arrogant (“Do you know who I am?!”) behavior.
He must have been very embarrassed when his Uncle Max Kennedy and his daughter Caroline, both acting deranged, were arrested on Aug. 30 in a fancy rented house near the Kennedy compound inHyannisport, onCape Cod, after arguing with police officers responding to neighbors’ complaints about a very loud party there.
The cops said Max Kennedy was, among things, “screaming incoherently and throwing himself at the wall’’ and smashing a cabinet filled with glass valuables.
After he was put into a police cruiser, Caroline tried to get her father out of the vehicle and was arrested herself. At the police station, the cops said, she told them proudly: “I went to Brown and I’m a teacher, sweetheart!’’
Oh, well, as my late father used to say, bitterly, “Your friends you can pick; your relatives you’re stuck with.’’
