    That's ok, Geogoeson, but all this talk aboutnthe Kennedys is completely overboard

    It's being going on for months now. There are very dangeous developments in south-east Europe which require an awful lot more than canonising the Kennedys. When I read a lot of books about that family I was totally disillusioned, particularly about the man who made all the money, Joseph Patrick Kennedy. Of course, I wanted to believe in them, considering my nationality, but a person's ethnic background means nothing to me if I discover that the person is a hypocrite.
