   I sometimes wondered if he ever wanted to go into politics or if the family just sent him to Providence College to set him up for politics. Without Teddy, perhaps he said, “Screw this.”

   He’s wasted so much of his life and the taxpayers’ money. Maybe he’ll get a real job, but it’s more likely he’ll end up in one of the family foundations.

   Actually very interesting to hear Kennedy won’t seek reelection. Is Rhode Island too liberal a state to elect a conservative candidate? Is there anyone on the radar that could have a chance of winning there? Could the Tea Party movement find someone to endorse and organize an effective campaign for his seat, the people’s seat?

   Questions I have, answers I don’t.

Most of these are gerrimandered so it is hard to find people to run, but I think they are coming out of the woodwork. Even the Dems must be getting the hint that you can’t unring a bell.

    I think this arrogant and spoiled brat is upset that Scott Brown won his Dad’s seat in Massachusets.

    He is likely to move back to Massachusetts and fulfil the residency requirements (for the Senate run in 2012) so that he can contest for his Dad’s seat.

    I disagree with those of you who think this loser or any other Kennedy will continue to plague us in the future. We really are witnessing the Fall of the House of Usher. It’s slow but it is happening.

    The Kennedy Mystique(TM) is a product of the mid-20th century and its only real remnant is in a Boomer-controlled MSM. As robo-Kennedy voters in the NE age and move away to Florida or die, younger voters left behind are looking for something else. Gen Xers and Yers don’t venerate the Kennedy clan. We’re not fascinated with them. None of us remember “Camelot.” John John’s been dead for 11 years. He was the only real last hope of that family. Otherwise you have a bunch of entitled addicts and brats.

    The beginning of the end was Kathleen Townsend, who later became Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, losing her shot at governor of Maryland to a Republican. Then came Caroline Schlossberg Kennedy’s failed attempt to get appointed to Hillary Clinton’s seat. She lost out to an unknown pol from upstate. Then God imposed His term limit on Ted Kennedy, and a Republican got elected to take his place. Now this guy has read the writing on the wall and is bailing out. Sure RFK Jr. will continue to annoy us for a while and the family still has its wealth built on Grandpa Joe’s bootlegging and on foundation money, but the days of the Great Kennedy Political Dynasty are coming to an end.

    Absolutely agree. The cumulation of the lot of them does not measure up to JFK. Yes, he had his flaws and had policies I disagreed with.

    But JFK was an American first, a patriot, and someone who knew evil when he saw it. No Kennedy who followed him could be described in those terms.

    If GW Bush had given some of JFK’s speeches the Left of today would have declared him a reactionary war monger.

    Without regard to politics his death was as dark a day as this country has ever had. I pray we never see it again. I still think that the day he died so did the respect for the Presidency. From that day to now, Presidents have been vilified in ways that do our country no good. It is not a good thing. That attitude in a large part gave us Obama.

    Patrick Kennedy is essentially a tragic figure. He is a lightweight intellectually and never had a real job in his life. The Kennedys did not know what to do with Patrick so they bought him a Congressional seat in Rhode Island. His first opponent in Rhode Island was a physician who demolished Patrick in the one debate they had. But this is Rhode Island after all so Kennedy money and adulation bought him the seat. Patrick was plainly bored and disinterested in his work. Yes, it did beat carrying a lunch box but Patrick never cared much for the job. He was not much of a gladhander and a terrible public speaker. But it is what the Kennedys ask their young to do. Patrick would probably have been happier tending bar in Boston and yukking it up with the drunks.
