A spot of trouble for Ethel Kennedy?

Question du jour: Is Kennedy matriarch Ethel Kennedy really winning any votes for her grandson, congressman-wannabe Joe Kennedy III, by slapping his bumper sticker on her Audi and then parking in a handicapped spot with no handicapped plate?
And what about the Florida license plate?
Word is that Grammy, who winters in Palm Beach and summers in Hyannisport, has become a resident of the Sunshine State. Which means she can skip out on Massachusetts income tax and local excise taxes on her sweet ride!
“Apparently Ethel enjoys not only the Florida sunshine but its favorable tax policies,” said a family insider.
We rang up Joe III’s campaign peeps to ask about his grandmother’s tax situation and lack of handicapped plate or placard, but they declined to comment.
What we can tell you is that ever since she sold Hickory Hill, the family estate in Virginia, Ethel has been wintering in a veddy nice oceanfront home in Palm Beach, which she reportedly rents.
Anyway, the pics were snapped outside Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville, where Ethel attends Mass. According to our spywitness, she came late to church, beached the car in the handicapped spot and went inside to pray.
Now, in all fairness, Ethel is getting up there. She’s 84 years old and not moving as fast as she used to.
But jeez, Ethel, don’t you have any connections that can get you a handicapped tag?
