Yes, it was Delahunt. If he had a conscience, it would bother him.
LOL!
I was just prepared to post that after finally rid of Patches we may get Ginger Kennedy.
(Kinda looks like a young Conan O’Brien.)
And is this blue blood a typical kenedy?
Drugs? Alcohol? Rape? Plagerism? Assault? Drownings?
Gots to be some slime, after all he is a kennedy.
YIKES!

Joseph P. Kennedy III Urges Young People To Act Locally, And Globally
Cape Cod Chronicle, The (Chatham, MA) - Thursday, May 7, 2009
Author: Alan Pollock
HARWICH — The grand-nephew of President John F. Kennedy, the man who established the Peace Corps, urged Harwich High School students this week to serve their community—locally and globally—by volunteering.
Joseph P. Kennedy III , the son of former Congressman Joseph Kennedy II and the grandson of Robert Kennedy, said young people can serve overseas in the Peace Corps, or in their own neighborhoods. He visited the school at the invitation of Congressman William Delahunt, who is promoting renewed interest in the Peace Corps.
A third-year student at Harvard Law School, Kennedy continues his family’s tradition of public service; he works for a pro-bono law firm helping Boston area families avoid foreclosure, and helped design and teach a program for at-risk youth in Jamaica Plain. He has also worked as an anti-poverty consultant for the government of East Timor. Before attending law school, Kennedy served in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic from 2004 to 2006.
Kennedy said his biggest challenge was to develop a rapport with the Dominicans among whom he was living. He tried to share in our joint national pastimes—baseball—by joining a softball team, but couldn’t keep up with the other players; he tried visiting with poor families from the most impoverished neighborhoods, but found that his red hair terrified the children, who thought he was a witch. Kennedy hit a lucky break when the local Dominicans were wowed by a novelty he had brought with him: s’mores. It was ultimately marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, together with time and perseverance, that opened his dialogue with the locals.
The poverty in parts of the Dominican Republic is no laughing matter. In one town, local men earned 10 cents a day literally carrying tourists on their backs up a rocky cliff to catch a glimpse of waterfalls. Though the tour companies made plenty of money, the employees remained in poverty.
“We basically created a union,” Kennedy told the students. The workers received much higher wages, and a portion of their revenues were reserved for environmental projects and community development efforts. Revenues increased for the workers and the tour companies alike, he said.

OH NO!
Please NO!
Harvard Law and Peace Corp. That’s enough.

Wonder if he could keep up with Patches. LOLOL!
He found that his red hair terrified the children, who thought he was a witch.
ROTFLMAO. They were right.
Funny. Kim Jong-Il says the same thing about North Korea.
It must be nice to be so wealthy that you and your whole family doesn’t have to work. Easy way to burnish a resume with “public service”. Or should it be “public self-service”?
LOL- Apparently the same thing as a Nobel Peace Prize...nobody really knows!
wow I’m certainly inspired that young Kennedy has worked as an ANTI-POVERTY consultant, WTH is that?
Harvard without a Kennedy admission is like a zoo without a monkey exhibit.
Just throw and catch a softball? He’s a Kennedy; no pathetic little “John Kerry moments” for them. They crash big time. Can he throw and catch while skiing?
So much for making the next Congress Kennedy-free. This time, this one looks like Carrot Top.
