The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    Her IQ tests indicated a moderate mental retardation.
    She had violent mood swings as she got older.
    She was sent to a convent but sometimes snuck out at night.
    Her sister Kathleen told her boyfriend that Rosemary had learning problems and the family considered her a failure.
    She spent most of her life in an institution.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her parents gave her doctors permission to perform a lobotomy.
    She was only the 27th person to receive a lobotomy.
    While the lobotomy stopped her mood swings she was resorted to staring at walls for hours and speaking babble.
    Her mother was devastated by the results of her failed lobotomy and considered it one of the first of the Kennedy tragedies.
    Prior to her lobotomy she was an articulate writer, dancer, and mathematician.
    Her condition inspired her sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver to form the Special Olympics.
