and I have to say most of the kids were decent for rich kids.

But

I think RFK Sr is waiting for his namesae with a rolled up newspaper.

His mum is probably waiting with a frying pan.

I'd like to hug them and remind them parents are never guaranteed great kids, any more than anyone was ever guaranteed great parents.

Junior really needs to be impeached for negligence and gross incompetence, He is not a medical professional in any way and his knowledge seems to have stopped with old issues of "Prevention."

Most government departments can mange a Dunning-Kruger afflicted head honcho. In fact, most do, careerists just do an end run around his incompetence and keep things going

Unfortunately, Kennedy is in one of those departments where some degree of competence, or at least a knowledge base that allows bad bosses some contact with reality is necessary. Kennedy lacks those and is doing real damage.

He's got to go.
