Predictably, the push has begun to get a Kennedy into the Senate seat held for lo those many years by Ted Kennedy. The Kennedys favorite newspaper - the Boston Globe - all but annointed Joe in a news story by Frank Phillips that also handily reminded everybody that the seat is, after all, the permanent property of the Kennedy family.
Said Philips:

"All eyes now are on Joseph P. Kennedy II, the former US representative, with family members and political allies expecting him to make a decision very shortly on whether to enter the Democratic primary.
"No other Kennedy of his generation with the political stature to step into the role has signaled interest in it, according to Democratic insiders and people close to the family."
Apparently, that sort of political analysis passes for serious thought on the Globe's pages.
There are at least three reasons why Joe Kennedy should not be a U.S. senator from any state. First, he's not only a defender of a declared enemy of the U.S., but is also guilty of shamelessly using that enemy's resources in an unsuccessful attempt to polish his own image here in America.

Second, a review of his six terms in the U.S. House reveals absolutely nothing of memorable legislative accomplishments, athough he served on a significant panel, the House Banking Committee. He did manage, however, to divorce his first wife in 1991 in order to marry a former staff member in 1993. This kind of thing must be in the water at Hyannis Port.

The Arrogant Amoral Airhead is entitled to a lifetime senate seat because he is a Kennedy.
Entitlement ain’t just for poor black liberals anymore.
And he will be unless the Dims or the Pubbies put a good candidate to go against him.
Is this the kennedy that was caught having sex with the teenage baby sitter?
Lol...
Take your seat Mr. Senator.
We will place in the senate seat a Kennedy, as big as, as drunk as, as vile as the old Kennedy.
Found this picture in the dictionary under "disgraced sleazeball."
I find this ironic since studying the reasons behind the Puritans deciding not to take in statesmen. This exact sense of entitlement was what they were against, as much as they had their own issues.
Sure Joe. Aside from being “The Wizard of ‘Uh’s”, like uncle Teddy, he was galavanting about and turned over his jeep, paralyzing a girl, who he promptly forgot about. So it’s be like Teddy never left.
Fluffy Kennedy for Senate!
The Kennedy family says they will cross that bridge at the proper time.
I’ve watched him being interviewed lately. He sounds like he has a problem with his voice. It isn’t strong. Politics requires a lot of speeches. His voice grates on me.
Doesn’t Venezuela Joe have the biggest head of living politicians?
How about that cute little grandkid who totally politicized “Grampy’s” funeral? He seems like a natural to me, and we don’t need no stinkin age requirements.
No sir, not here in Massassachusetts, where only Kennedy rules apply.
His staff called him the Stuttering Stump...since he was dumb as a tree stump.
Not nice people in DC....
That would be a true validation of Teddy's legacy.
Lets ASK SARAH PALIN TO RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
