Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (D) says he will sign legislation making the senate seat held by the late Senator Kennedy “hereditary.” “Look, the seat has been held by one Kennedy or another, come Hell or high water, for over 50 years,” Patrick observed. “The people of this state obviously want a Kennedy, need a Kennedy in this position. Making the seat hereditary is the simplest way of guaranteeing this.”
Under the draft legislation, the Massachusetts senate seat would pass to his son Patrick Kennedy. Patrick Kennedy is currently a Democratic member of congress from the State of Rhode Island.
The Governor dismissed charges that having the seat pass to a non-resident was “carpetbagging.” “Senator Kennedy’s son is more native to our state than Hillary Clinton was to New York,” the Governor pointed out. “He was born and raised here. And he has the Kennedy blood.”
Governor Patrick cited Representative Kennedy’s DUI and rehab session as “pretty conclusive proof that this apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.”

Gag.
Primogeniture ping! This is hilarious.
This is the first time I’ve seen where this site has actually had a worthy satire. It reads closer to the Onion than the usual—perhaps they’re getting the hang of it.
are they trying to firm up their own monarchy?
Hehe....although Patrick does not actually live here in RI. He has an address here.
If the people in Massachusetts condone this, they deserve every Kennedy that will ever live.
They will also not honor Democracy, which considers all Americans to be equal.
As bad as favoring someone on the basis of his skin color.
Somehow i would not be surprised if he did announce this, it may be satire but probably damn close to what they are thinking of doing.
This somehow reminds me of the movie King Ralph - where they are desperately trying to find a monarch and end up with a big buffoon
It would be hard to find a bigger buffoon than Ted ‘The Swimmer’ though
Hearing any good Chappaquiddick jokes down there Teddy?
The good news is that you can actually tell this is satire.
The bad news is: “For how long?”
The Obama Chappaquiddick Govt healthcare system.
You get tossed in the deep end of the ER, then have have to hang around for 18 hrs stuck on a trolley before someone bothers reporting you to a doctor but by then by the time help arrives, you have already died and run out of time.
You know when you’ve been kennedy’d. Coming soon to a hospital near you.............
Thanks for the chuckle John.
arsehole satire?
Heridiwhaaaaaat?
The Kennedy clan didn’t have much success making Caroline Kennedy a New York Senator.
Nope, but this seat will go to Joe Kennedy if he wants it. He's been campaigning for it with his Citizen's Energy company for 30 years.
Hatch and Dodd may want Vicki Reggie to take it in place of Ted, but I don't see that happening—unless she's appointed just to fill the seat until the election. This is MA politics and no matter how smart or qualified she is, she's not a real Kennedy.
So my money is down on returning former Congressman Joe Kennedy to Washington to take his rightful place in the Senate. It's enough to make you gag.
