Joseph P. Kennedy II said today he will not make a bid for the senate seat held by his late uncle Edward M. Kennedy, in a bombshell announcement expected to draw candidates-in-waiting out from the wings.
Given all that my uncle accomplished, it was only natural to consider getting back involved in public office, and I appreciate all the calls of support and friendship that have poured in, Kennedy said in a statement posted on the web site of Citizens Energy, of which he is the founder.
My father called politics an honorable profession, and I have profound respect for those who choose to advance the causes of social and economic justice in elective office, Kennedy said. After much consideration, I have decided that the best way for me to contribute to those causes is by continuing my work at Citizens Energy Corporation.

Politics...an “honorable profession?” It may be, until thugs like your uncle get involved, pal.
Young Joe doesn’t realize that his disgraceful uncle proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that politics is not always an honorable profession. With pretenders like Ted Kennedy lurking in the halls of our nation’s capital, it’s clear much of our federal institutions are vile ugly places. The tactics of calling Conservatives racists, and keeping a former Klan Grand Dragon within the ranks of the Democrat party, just doesn’t go unnoticed any longer. Honorable? LMAO
Hmmm...
...and her husband!
Joseph P. Kennedy's younger brother began an affair with his family's baby sitter when she was 14 they call it an affair I call it rape.These Kennedy's can't keep it in their pants long enough to run for any office..
If this Senate seat has to go to a Kennedy
++++++++++++
What the heck? I disagree strongly with any such premise..
Damn, that’s good.
Thanks yup. I don’t see any Kennedy in that kid. The mouth & teeth is always a dead (poor word to use I know) giveaway for Kennedy. He looks more Greek than Irish. I had a irish-American relative that had that irish Kennedy teeth thing going.
Ari was not bad looking when he was younger.
Sad he died. He seemed like a good kid and was not like the Kennedys. He even said before he died that their behavior was often unacceptable.
LOL! Chavez is too conservative to be a Senator in Taxachusetts. Does he have a trust fund?
“She started talking about john john and said he was Aris kid. “
Uh Ari? What is this a club?
How can Ari be the father when he’s in LA and doing “Entourage.” :)
“My father called politics an honorable profession”
Which strangely attracts dishonorable Kennedys
Maybe they can run that rapist relative who attacked the girl in palm beach at thc ompound. He had that blank look of a rapist and serial killer. His last name was a Smith or something.
It’s that Willie Sutton thing. Why did Willie rob banks because that is where the money is. Ditto kennedys in politics.
Pamela, you played with the Kennedy family and got screwed by them, getting paralyzed in the process.
I hope you enjoy the very liberalism you support. Remember, liberalism requires not taking responsibility for one’s own actions.
Enjoy what is left of your life.
Please look up the word “irony” in the dictionary and get back to me.
” a history of temper tantrums and incompetence. “
Aren’t they some of the QUALIFICATIONS for Congress?/s;)
"stay out da kennedys !"
