WOW! I never thought I’d see the day a Kennedy would turn down anything political. But it’s possible that there are too many skeletons in the closet to uncover.

[Dilbert San Diego]

RFK Jr. was convicted on drug charges years ago. And to listen to him talk, I think he was a heavy marijuana user, and that drugs affected his brain. Both the content of what he says and his speaking voice are off kilter.

I think RFK Jr figures that he can run for some other spot whenever he wants to, but that this is Caroline’s best shot at a Senate seat. I think RKF wants to horde more money working for various fake non-profits and he figures it’s all the same as long as a fellow Kennedy gets the job. These noxiously self-important and entitled Kennedys make me sick. I’m not wild about Mario or Andrew Cuomo, but Andrew Cuomo certainly deserves the Senate seat more than Caroline, who just shows up at benefits and makes platitudinous speeches about her father’s legacy and her mother’s favorite freaking poems or some such nonsense. What a bunch of losers are the people who actually root for any of the disfunctional Kennedy clan.

He's sufficiently self-aware to know he couldn't stand up to the scrutiny and accountability.

[gidget7]

Well he is turning it down in favor of SoE. Course he isn't saying that, but the O has already said he wants him.

I'd rather see him a Senator!

[weegee]

He sees how rich and powerful Al Gore Junior is getting without being in office. Why would he want to be burdened to be 1 of 100?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Nailed it. No need to rerun all his drug bellyflops and other disasters.
