Didn't he have the temerity to claim Brown's election was a joke?

Well. I have to admit. I'm laughing.

He doesn’t want to be known as the “Kennedy” who lost the crown.

My first thought about that pic was that it was a shot of the Navy burying Killer Whale Ted at sea like his failed pilot nephew.

I suspect he’s seen the handwriting on the wall in RI. Also, he’s lost his protector in Congress (Teddy) and he gets no respect. It’s not fun anymore.

"He's seen the handwriting on the wall".

Yep...."Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin", the handwriting on the wall from the Book of Daniel....translation applicable to Patches Kennedy and the entire Kennedy family.......

"God has numbered your kingdom.....and finished it. You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians (conservatives and Tea Partiers)."

So it was and so it is.....amen, hallelujah, and LOL!

"He's seen the handwriting on the wall"

I should have added "...though vaguely, through his stupor". But, I've felt generous this morning.

“A lot of retirements lately. 18 pubs and 16 or so rats?”

I think a number of Rs are retiring and running for higher office too. Something the rats are not doing.

Now the Blithering Idiot can go do what all the other Kennedys do, cut their coupons, and make a general MESS
of things! Patricks absense from Congress will increase the collective IQ level of Congress significantly, but still not enough to get above 60!

Maybe, I thought it was Irish Whiskey that gramps had the exclusive distributorship in U. s. Maybe Teddy sold it?
