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.

RUN CURT RUN!!!
I’m thinking the skeletons in his closet are abnormally (for a Kennedy) abundant. These people have no shame, and it would take a lot to keep them out of office.
I wonder if he signed a 9/11 truther petition sometime in the past.

SENATOR FROM MASSACHUSETTS!
” continuing my work at Citizens Energy Corporation.”
that would be Chavez Energy Corporation and its political consequences
God, I hope so!!!
Not a baseball-o-phile anymore. Is this Curt Schilling with the lovely Mrs.Schilling?
What about Patches? Will he move to Mass?
Would he qualify as a MA resident? Ugh...
At that point, I’d take Ted’s bloated corpse over Patches.
This isn’t a complete surprise. Joe Kennedy has a history of temper tantrums and incompetence. That was one of the reasons he retired from Congress.
That and the $$$$$$$!
And I was kind of hoping for a knock-down, drag-out divisive Democrat primary with all the Kennedy family members fighting with the rest of Massachusetts for the honor of filling the family seat.
Maybe they can run that Townsend Kennedy broad from MD who got her arse kicked in at least one election.
Are there no Kennedys not in rehab that can run?
