And this means no disrespect to the Kennedy family. I do this because I like the Kennedys so much. I hold them in very high regard and find them absolutely fascinating.
But I can’t help, when I see certain pictures, to want to put captions to them. So please bear with me. Maybe you’ll find these as funny as I do. Or maybe you’ll just think I’m really strange.
Jack: “Now they’ve got all three of the handsome Kennedy boys together. You know we look good. I think I’ll just flash one of my blindingly white grins. Honestly, you both know you can’t top my looks.”
Ted: “Shut up, Jack. I’ve got you beat by fifteen years.”
Bobby: “Just because Dad’s pegged you to be the next president doesn’t mean you’re better-looking. You’ve always thought you’re such hot stuff. Well, Ethel knows who the hot one is.”
Jack: “Bobby. Bobby. What are you doing?”
Bobby: “What?”
Jack: “Not in front of the kids, Bobby. Not in front of the kids.”
Jackie: Look away, just look away . . .
Jack: “Eunice, Eunice. You gotta pose. Like this. Come on, look casual. Like this, Eunice.”
Eunice: “I can look any way I want in a picture, Jack.”
Jackie: Any time I try to get alone with Jack, Lem tags along. Who does this guy think he is? I didn’t marry two men.
Jack: “You gotta pose, Lem. Like this, see. Confident.”
Lem: “Gotcha. Like this.”
Rip: “You two are nuts. What kind of a pose is that? I look a load more attractive than you dorks. You gotta look serious. Mysterious. The girls go for that.”
Jack: “Forget serious, Rip. The girls go for me regardless. That reminds me, wanna help me play a joke on Billings later?”
Rip: “I’m in.”
Bobby: “See, this is the most comfortable way to eat a sandwich. Stretches the legs and looks cool. I just got Jack some more votes.”
Bobby: “Oh Lord in heaven, why did I have to be placed next to him?”
Lyndon: “This could have gone so much better. I’m gonna light into you next chance I get, Bobby.”
Bobby: “It’s Robert. And don’t worry, I’m going to let everyone know who’s boss. You’re going down.”
Teddy: “Bobby, stop hitting my leg!”
Bobby: “I did not hit your leg. You keep squirming. If you don’t stop I’m going to have to slug you, though. Geez this is boring.”
Joe Sr.: “Boys, be quiet and watch.”
Kick: “Jack, can you give me a little more room here?”
Jack: “Shh, they’re snapping a picture.”
