BOSTON (AP) - Joseph P. Kennedy III, the son of a former congressman and the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, said Sunday he had decided against running for the U.S. House from Massachusetts this year.

Kennedy told The Associated Press that he wants to remain in his new job as a prosecutor in Cape Cod's Barnstable County.

The 29-year-old Stanford University and Harvard Law graduate has held the post only for eight months.

Good.The thought of yet another Kennedy stinking up the halls of Congress is disturbing.

What’s with these Kennedys — doesn’t any of them aspire for an honest job?

Not a good year to be running as a Kennedy.

Who can say? He might even believe in paying his dues or something.

Job market is very tight right now. For a Kennedy it’s either flipping burgers or running for political office.

pssst...Joe, go a away. It’s over. Like that rotting old building in the middle of town the legacy of your clan of drunken perverts has been demolished and there’s a parking lot there now.

RFK's Grandson Decides Against Run For House

Yes, that probably would be best.

By the way, I too have decided against running for the House this time around. The press has been informed.

Everyone is itching to run for Delahunt's seat, now that he is suspected of having covered up an egregious murder. But it looks as if the scene is crawling with Rats who want to replace him, and the other guys probably told Kennedy to wait his turn.

Norfolk District Attorney William Keating, a Democrat investigating the handling of the 1986 Bishop shooting, is said to be weighing a run if Delahunt decides against seeking re-election, as are several state legislators. A decision from Delahunt is expected by the end of April.

Isn't that sweet? Yet another DA is hoping to eliminate his competition and then take his seat. Just like Andrew Cuomo and several hundred other Dem DAs.

He has not filled all the prerequisites: 1) He must demonstrate inability to operate tools (skis, cars, or airplanes), 2) he must become a full alcoholic, 3) he must flunk the bar, 4) he must have no discernible talents, and 5) he must have absolutely no morals.

Give him a year or so and he’ll be a fully qualified Kennedy.

I suspect he knows he’d lose. I don’t think the Kennedy “magic” is going to transfer to the new generation of voters.

This twerp makes Patrick Kennedy look smart. As we continue our descent through the fetid Kennedy germ plasm, each new generation becomes meaner, more stupid, and less able to tie their own shoes. It’s like devine revenge on the original anti-Semitic hate-monger and homicidal booth-legger, Joe Kennedy (”That bastard”) Kennedy.

My that was quick. It was only this morning I heard he was thinking of running and hadn’t a clue who he was.
