Joseph P. Kennedy II said today he regrets not seeking the U.S. Senate seat vacated by his uncle, but the former congressman has no plans to run against U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown in 2012.

Kennedy, who was in Brighton today delivering heating oil for his nonprofit Citizens Energy, was asked whether Brown’s victory made him regret his decision not to run to succeed his uncle, the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

“The thought has crossed my mind,” Kennedy said with a chuckle yesterday. “Maybe that wasn’t the greatest decision I ever made.”

Didn’t Uncle Ded Kennedy (D-HELL) teach this guy to NEVER say that?

He’s just being coy....
Too many girlfriends and infidelities to run in this day and age. The Kennedy mystique is finito

I’m surprised he wasn’t strongly urged to run by his supplier, Hugo Chavez.

Then again, O don’t know that he wasn’t.

The way I heard it, like most Kennedys, Joey has waaay too many skeletons rattling around in his closet and was told he’d be better off not having his past scrutinized.

Plus, if he’s close to half as inarticulate as Caroline, he’s too dumb even for the Senate.

There’s a reason Howie Carr calls Joe “The Wizard of Uhs”.
