It's like keeping track of royalty. You get one number if you follow the English line but another number on the Scotch... er, Scottish line.

How could the state which started the American revolution sink to having a member of what P.J O’Rourke called “The Bog Trotter’s Circus” be able to run as a viable alternative to the Queen of Queer, Bwarny Fwank?

“I think he’ll be a terrific congressman,” Johnston said. “He’s a very bright, very committed person. He has an incredible commitment to the values of his family.”

And, when you think of the Kennedys, "Family Values" are the first things that spring to mind (smirk)...

exactly.

One more comment from the Herald article (quoting, not by me but I agree):
“Doesn’t Joe K III have to get qualified first by causing paralyzing injuries in a car wreck, bedding down a teen babysitter, assaulting a woman in a bar and walking, killing a teen woman with a golf club, driving off a narrow bridge.......you get the picture.
If the K’s didn’t have all this bad luck following them around they wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

1)—Joe Kennedy II, Pam Kelley
2)—Michael Kennedy (Joe II’s bro, now dead)
3)—William Kennedy Smith (Au Bar)
4)—Michael Skakel (Martha Moxley)
5)—Ted The Swimmer

It sounds like the name of a Mafia clan but Boston talk host Howie Carr refers to them as The Kennedy Crime Family.

After reading that google link - I have no idea how it is supposed to work when the father (Sr) dies and the son becomes (blank) or when a brother takes over from a deceased older brother.

Inheriting a famous name - sorta kinda like writing a will; ‘per stirpes’ vs ‘per capita’.

It’s a mystery. Sorry for the thread interruption;)

I predict that this Lord Fauntelroy will back out once he sees the polls. That’s what is arrogant daddy did in 1998, 2002, 2006 for the governor’s race.

His old man did not run for Gov. because he would be forced to show his tax records. Those records would show that they split Citizens Energy into a FOR Profit & NON profit. He made a boat load of cash off of that so called Non Profit. Gets paid well over $500 grand a year

That’s his dad (white-haired, born in 1952 Joe II) who deals with Chavez. This kid was born in 1980...a twin.

I believe these are the twins Joe II attempted to incinerate some years back.

A Kennedy running is an automatic win, is it not?

In this district, I think that's a safe bet.

Sean Bielat, however, might run, and he'd make a good go of it. I believe he's making a decision w/n to run in mid January.

Like I said in another thread, this state writes it’s own jokes.

Pathetic.

OTOH, Sean Bielat is announcing his decision on Jan. 17. Although as good as he is, he’ll lose to this Kennedy nematode.

I think I’m going to marry my girlfriend so that I can gain Italian citizenship and leave once and for all. It’s disheartening.

yes—Joe Kennedy III’s twin brother

Boston Globe 7/22/97:
>>One of the twin sons of US Representative Joseph P. Kennedy II suffered a second-degree burn Saturday after he joined his father in setting off fireworks on the beach outside the family’s Hyannisport compound.
The premature explosion of a “spark emitting firework” resulted in Matthew Kennedy suffering the burn to his left forearm. The 16-year-old was treated and released from Cape Cod Hospital, Kennedy spokesman Brian O’Connor said.
Aides said the congressman is aware that fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts, although a statement released by Kennedy did not refer to the potential legal liability. “I take responsibility for it,” the congressman said in a written statement …

I heard somewhere that CITGO was changing their name because too many people knew it was Hugo.

Maybe they should revert to their original name, Cities Service. That was a fine oil company headquartered in Bartlesville, OK.
