There is a blog piece today at Amer. Thinker about the connection between Hollywood and various sleazy politicians such as the late Ted Kennedy. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/10/the_predatory_politics_of_the_democrats.html
It begins with this quote:
"The Left and the Media love their scumbags†(Sebastian Gorka,10.12.17)

This piece made me recall a true story that I added as a comment:
Speaking
of the Kennedys and scumbags, I have an interesting story I saw on the
Biography tv show years ago. Peter Lawford was a teenager whose family
had moved to the Palm Beach, FL, area from England. While working at a
Palm Beach parking lot, Peter befriended a young black teen working with
him. One of the customers to that parking lot actually complained to
management that Lawford was too friendly with a black (this was in the
days of the Jim Crow South) and should be fired.
The Internet Movie Database bio of Lawford lists this version of the story:
"In
his 20s, he worked at a country club. A prestigious member of the club
once complained to the management that Lawford was eating lunch and
fraternizing with the black employees, and that he should be fired. This
member was Joseph P. Kennedy, who years later became his
father-in-law!"
Lawford wasn't fired but years later, when Lawford
became a well known actor, that same parking lot customer, a wealthy
winter resident of Palm Beach named Jospeh P. Kennedy Senior, walked his
daughter down the isle of a church to give her hand away in marriage to
that same Peter Lawford. Well, at least Old Joe didn't take Lawford for
a drive off of the Chappaquiddick bridge...
