Very few? What planet do you live on? Don't get me wrong, the
Kennedy's were three generations of assholes.

Make that "rich assholes who pandered to the poor to get power." And we
won't even talk about old Joe, who was a garden variety (but very wealthy)
bootlegger, just because he smuggled good Scotch whisky to his moneyed
friends instead of the regular swill. Reminiscent of The Godfather, but
Joe's sons did go on to make it into office, unlike Vito's.
