“Kennedy plans to continue the tradition by championing a national effort to boost brain research. “

Maybe someone will find a brain for that bunch of dopes.

Guess they’ll have to go back to organized crime, like they did before the old man got them into politics.

I'm confused! Are you saying that old Joseph got them out of organized crime and put them into organized crime? I must be missing sump'n here!

Kennedys are the kudzu of politics. But...at least kudzu plants aren’t all drunks.

Kennedy's exit from Congress leaves a family void

The Kennedy family is a void--more like a sink hole. Without a Kennedy in Congress, that void will be filled.

Will there be TARP funds available for DC area bars and liquor stores?

Someone once posted a picture of a large sign in a bar somewhere that said, "NO KENNEDYS" on it.

Wish I could find it now.

It’s not an entitlement or family dynasty. As a
family they have done tremendous damage to
the country. There is no obligation to fill this
“void”. Just go away.

Rumor has it that one of Uncle Teddy’s last wishes was that Caroline get the New York Senate seat vacated by Hillary, so that a Kennedy would continue in the Senate after he was gone.

Uncle Teddy did not get his wish, as Caroline’s listening tour in her efforts to get appointed to that vacancy was such a disaster.

People like the Kennedys do believe that due to wealth and power and lineage and all that, that their family is entitled to things that you and I are not entitled to.

But all is forgiven because the Kennedys are good Democrats. And one Kennedy runs a non-profit organization to help the poor pay for heating oil. Another Kennedy cousin lectures us on global warming.

So, when various Kennedys have accidents in which a girl drowns, or a Kennedy behaves improperly with an under-age babysitter, all is forgiven because they are liberal, good Democrats, and Kennedys.

The same behavior would not be forgiven from a prominent Republican family. I think we all know that.

Reminiscent of an old American saying: "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations."

IOW if you don't have it in you, you can't borrow it from your ancestors.

There are several Kennedys that hit the trifecta.

Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island vacates his U.S. House seat next month, leaving a City Council post in California as Camelot's sole remaining political holding.
Partisan media shill alert -- "his U.S. House seat" is no such thing. Thanks seanmerc. And for that matter, thanks Rhode Island!

Not soon enough.

But it begs the question: How many Republicans from the same family could get automatically elected for 3 generations with a father/grandfather/great grandfather who was a pro Nazi and made his fortune running illegal liquor?

Really? Is there a double standard for our ancestors?
