Blagovich's money-for-Senate-seat may not have worked out to his advantage, butwhoever gets that seat, money will change hands in one form or another. Count on it.

If there is a Kennedy available he/she will get the nod. The Dems LOVE Kennedys. Doesn't matter if they live in the right place or have any intellectual capacity at all. If the candidate has any familial connection to the Kennedy Clan, they are in like Flynn.

No! No! No!

Not another Kennedy in politics!

I wish their great, great, great, great, great grandpa had been sterile!

Oh yeah, let’s fight the corruption by filling the seat with someone from the most corrupt family in the US.

All I can say is that these Kennedys are not all they’re cracked up to be.

What? There are no Bushes or Clintons in Illinois? If we are going to consider royal families we should consider them all.

Decades later we find a real reason not to vote for a Catholic—so many durned offspring and offspring of offspring! ;-)

As a Mass resident, my whole politically-aware life has been under Kennedy influence. They breed like rabbits; soon every Congressional district and Senate seat in the country will be occupied by the miserable vermin.

"The corruption continues..."

The Kennedys have a long association with Chicago political corruption. The biggest part of the Kennedy family fortune is in the Merchandise Mart, where old Joe stashed his bootlegging dough.

We need a US Constitutional amendment barring anyone from that rotten seed from ever serving in an elected or appointed position again. Never. Not one more.

Do you remember if this is the same Kennedy who was put up for a House seat a few years ago, only to be hastily yanked when it became obvious that he was an embarrassing fool on a podium? Or is this another one?

Sounds like it. As the saying goes, you can’t take it with you.
