Kennedy clan member complaining about the "Blockade"
Do you want to get really pissed off?
JFK's nephew, actor Christopher Lawford has been in Australia complaining that the U.S. Blockade (sic) is interfering with his ambition to make a movie about the Cuban Missile Crisis from the "Cuban" point of view as suggested by, you guessed it, none other than castro himself. I guess it wasn't enough that thanks to his family, Cubans have suffered 47 years of terror and oppression, and watched their country reduced to rubble. Now Cubans are interfering with his movie making plans. Oh pardon me, sorry if Cuban suffering is inconveniencing your “Hollywood” plans. How trite, what a stupid, spoiled, good-for-nothing bum he is.

Kennedy Clan Actor Says Cuba Blockade Affects U.S. FilmakersActor Christopher Lawford, a nephew of President John Kennedy who confronted the Soviet Union during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, has told Australian interviewers that he has been trying to make a film about that incident from Cuba's perspective but that he has been stymied by the U.S. blockade. Lawford, whose father was Rat Pack member Peter Lawford and mother is JFK's sister Patricia, told The Australian newspaper that he sat next to Prime Minister Fidel Castro in Havana during a screening in 2001 of Thirteen Days, a film about the missile crisis in which Lawford co-starred. "It was incredible," he told the newspaper. "I went there and sat next to the guy my uncles were trying to kill. But President Castro believes if president Kennedy had lived, the embargo would have been lifted and they would have normalized relations." In a separate interview with the ABC, Lawford said Castro "got up at the end of the film and he said, 'You've made a great film, but you've ignored Cuba, now you have to make a film of what was happening here in Cuba during those thirteen days." Lawford said that he had returned to Cuba six times in an effort to do just that "but as you know we have an embargo against Cuba which is one of the greatest foreign policy tragedies in the history of the United States."

His father Peter Lawford was the same prick who double crossed Frank Sinatra along with the clan of bootlegger's sons...

Someone ought to stomp on his nuts a time or two... then he'd have something serious to worry about.
Please forgive the vulgarity, female readers!
What a f...reaking idiot!

Why not encourage him to make a first-person-point-of-view movie about the Great White sharks around the Great Barrier Reef? Dive in, Mr. Lawford - no shark cage, now. Or maybe one about those interesting Cuban jumping crocs...
Yep, the fruitcake don't fall far from the shit-fertilized gene tree.
