Howie Carr in the Boston Herald says RFK Jr. has plenty of material for magazine gig:
So Bobby Kennedy Jr. is going to become a celebrity magazine writer, and his first assignment is a 14,000-word defense of his cousin, tubby alcoholic layabout and now convicted murderer Michael Skakel.When I spotted "tubby alcoholic layabout", I thought it was going to be about Teddy!
Can't wait to read it. After all, Bobby's a very distinguished lawyer. He passed the bar exam on his third try - that's seven fewer times than it took the Kennedy family's handpicked candidate for Barnstable County district attorney last week.
Now Bobby sues pig farms, he endorses Hillary, he's against the Navy shelling of Vieques, not to mention he's a regular on the Kennedy-trial circuit, appearing whenever and wherever a Kennedy finds himself on trial for allegedly raping or murdering ``some girl,'' as his Uncle Ted once put it.
So this magazine gig is a good career move, combining vocation and avocation, family and business.
But this . . . this could be much bigger. Talk about a new genre just waiting to be exploited. Bobby is 48 years old. He could spend the rest of his working life writing real-life whodunits about how his family members were framed.
His uncles, his brothers, his cousins, his grand-dad, even his late father - all have been accused of various sundry high crimes and misdemeanors. Surely Bobby Jr. could pound out a quick 10,000 words for Vanity Fair proving beyond a reasonable doubt that his father did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Marilyn Monroe.
