BOSTON (Reuters) - Senator Edward Kennedy's death marks the twilight of one of America's most fabled political families, with no heirs to the Kennedy name poised to emerge with the same mix of gravitas, ambition and celebrity. Kennedy, 77, one of the most effective lawmakers in U.S. history and the brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, died late on Tuesday after battling brain cancer.

Don’t Maria and Arnold have kids? All is not lost.

Everyone was all worried about the implications of a Bush dynasty, fearing some sort of political kingship, but we want to keep this useless, withered branch of a family tree alive? If it was a tree, I’d dynamite the stump.

OMG, what will we do without a dynasty? Are these reporters ignorant or what?

[Badabing Badablonde]

.....with no heirs to the Kennedy name poised to emerge with the same mix of gravitas, ambition and celebrity.

Have they checked with any of the hookers in the DC area?

[El Sordo]

One can hope.

Family dynasties are bad thing in politics.

They’re a good thing in jiu-jitsu though, but that’s the only example I can think of.

Don’t see anything.....

[Secret Agent Man]

They aren’t “Kennedy’s”. She’s a Shriver (half kennedy) and he’s nothing.

Will never be viewed the same. And they’re old now too.

[Secret Agent Man]

It’s good that it’s over. The less we have to hear about “Camelot” and the left literally having sex with the notion of the kennedy royalty, the better off the entire country is.

Most likely it will be Caroline, as a second chance opportunity.

We'll just have to find a way to get by.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I will not speak ill of the dead, suffice to say I’m sure the Almighty is taking care of business right now.

[Biggirl]

Well we have the Obamas now, Camelot 2!

[silverleaf]

This pretty much admits the Kennedy “kids” are useless rich idiots who ought to be banned from public office or policy making.....

>>She’s a Shriver

We’re Sargent Shriver’s Bleeding Hearts Club Band. We hope you have enjoyed the show.

Boy, I guess we, um, weren’t um like y’know fortunate enough to have Caroline, um, appointed to the NY senate seat.

[Da Coyote]

Must be a misprint.

Did the headline not mean, “...family dysentery to rest.”

Given that the Kennedys are so full of s** - er - Obama.

[Dilbert San Diego]

But we still have to listen to global warming lectures from the likes of RFK, Jr. Even if they don’t hold public office, they still get face time in the MSM.

[Secret Agent Man]

LOL (Caroline, Queen of Ummm)
