[edit] Godfather

I understand that Senator Joseph McCarthy was her Godfather.

Why is this not mentioned?

• I never heard this. If true, it is certainly notable. Do you have a source? --Noitall 04:17, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

Ann Coulter stated that he was asked in Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism but I don't know if he accepted. However, I heard it on an audio book so I don't know if she had a reference. -- RevRagnarok ^{T C} 20:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It is not true, so if anyone may please change that? Kathleens godparents are mentioned in "Hostage to Fortune", which included a letter from her grandmother to a friend. She states Kathleens godparents: Jean Ann Kennedy Smith, her aunt, and Danny Walsh, a former teacher of Ethel Kennedy from Manhattenville College. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.188.107 (talk) 14:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if you mean Eugene Joseph "Gene" McCarthy, rather than Joseph McCarthy - they are different people. And as mentioned, without a reliable source, biographical information should not be added to the article. -Classicfilms (talk) 20:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
