THE KENNEDY TRADITION (cut and run, and disgrace public office)

NY POST ^ | May 6, 2006 | EDITORIAL

What kind of a man drives something with such an tacky color, ugly bumper stickers and puny engine class?

A man that doesn't care. Check that: A man who doesn't have to care. You know, "Who cares what you think? I'm a Kennedy. I can do anything I want."

New England has lost its moral compass...up here in Vermont, where over 40% of the state is Christian, we have abortion on demand at any time...we have civil unions where the parts don't fit, and we have a socialist rep....we can't put up wind-mills, it may affect the bird migrations...and the beat goes on, and it's getting worse.

I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.

He won't stop. Oh he'll fight with it for a month, maybe two or three, but it'll come back. He's not quitting for him, he's quitting for outside things, office, publicity,. It won't stick. What'll they do when he kills someone?

[Socratic]

When will this family stop breeding? More than one life depends on it.

I can't wait to hear Maxine Waters, Patrick Le he, he,he and the other Democrats have to say on this subject.

If this had been a Bush Family incident, the MSM would milk it for Months.

[N. Theknow]

The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.

In the case of Kennedys it is more like the turd falling not far from the a$$hole.

Legacy of Lying with the whole Kennedy family pissing on the public and the MSM assuring everyone that it is raining.

Kennedys - Proud sponsors of the Michael Skakel Celebrity Golf Tournament and the William Kennedy Smith Sadie Hawkins Day Barhopping Marathon.

This little extra bit wouldn't fit in my tagline.

[trickyricky]

LOL! I suppose feces better describes this Kennedy than fruit.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

LOL! Another good one, mf!

[veronica]

Everything you need to know about today's Kennedys is exemplified by the fact that Fat Teddy's dog is named "Splash."

No class, no clue, out to lunch, arrogant beyond belief.

"where over 40% of the state is Christian"

Surely the percentage is higher than that?

At about the same time, the Coast Guard was called in to escort a female friend off the yacht following a heated argument.

Since when did the taxpayer-funded US Coast Guard become the Kennedy's private 'Ho Removal Water Taxi?

We should be pleased that the Kennedy clan is so inclined to do themselves in. Can you imagine how much damage they could have done to the nation if they were in fact honest, hard working and intelligent?

As is, they have power, and some influence, but it is blunted by their personal history and actions.

If Ted Kennedy did not like to drink, and party he may well have become President of the United States. As is, he is a Senator. A powerful position true, but with limits on what he can do.

I once observed that the main stream media has not done those on the left a favor by not holding them up to the same standards they do with those on the right.

A politician on the right knows that if they are caught doing something wrong, they will be publicly exposed, and figuratively ran out of town on a rail. Those on the right are not (necessarily) better men, they just know they will not be given a pass, as those on the left will.

So any social brake that would modify bad behavior is not available for Democrats, and people being people, they continue to act badly.

Letting someone get away with bad behavior (as any parent of a toddler knows) is not the best way to insure future good behavior.

Pat Kennedy is the face of the Democratic party. I did not make this so, they did when they decide to defend rather then condemn his action.

It's one of those new disposables from "Buy-A-Heap."

[Atlantian]

Note the date on the back brace picture of Kennedy, Jan. 15, 1965. This was after Kennedy's plane crash, years before Mary Jo.

I'm also curious about when Patrick appeared in a neck brace.

And apparently Patrick went into rehab this past Christmas, where did he go and for what?

[Arrowhead1952]

LOL. I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when that popped up.

[Rte66]

Naw - next step, after pretending to be at Mayo for 30 days is hiring a designated driver for his next disposable car.

I'm an immigrant to the PRM, (I grew up in the actually even worse PRNYC) but my wife is a native, and she and her family cordially despise the Kennedys and always have.

Kennedy worship is just a silly form of celebrity worship. JFK's tragic death cemented his place in the American pantheon and bestowed a lasting aura on all his relatives.

"Dissuade?" Sounds like another fight and Patches took off for the bar.

“She tried to dissuade me” from leaving the house, he told The Providence Journal. “And she wishes she had done a better job dissuading me.”

The unmarried lawmaker declined to give the woman’s name and says he only knows she tried to stop him because she has since told him so.

He's now acknowledging alcholism ...

“I’ve got to do total abstinence, period. From now on, obviously, I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.”

Rhode Island...another state that should be voted off the island. Too bad the Founders didn't write such a mechanism into the Constitution.
