Fort Worth Star Telegram ^ | January 13, 2012

It's been a busy month for Joseph Kennedy III.

The son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II and grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy is engaged to be married to Lauren Anne Birchfield, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate.

The announcement comes a little more than a week after the 31-year-old Kennedy formed an exploratory committee as a first step toward a run for the U.S. House seat held by retiring Rep. Barney Frank.

There are going to be lots of Kennedy weddings for the media to swoon over. His twin brother just got engaged and Michael Kennedy/Frank Giffords grand daughter is also newly engaged.

How many milli-seconds do you think will pass before he starts cheating?


Well, we don’t want to get personal, but, you do wonder about the Kennedys. The way Kennedy men treat females is not something that would cause any girl to want to marry a Kennedy.

Who in the heck decided that the Kennedys are American royalty in the first place???????

Jeez. Do we ever run out of these guys? By the way, I thought Franks seat was on the chopping block based on the fact that Mass. was losing a seat because of 2010 census.

You beat me to it. I was going to ask how long its going to take for him to down a gallon of Chivas and cheat on her with the 15 year old babysitter? Frakkin’ Kennedys. I am so sick of all of them.

“Ugh. Just when I was enjoying a Camelot-free America.
It is just so disgusting, how this tribe of mental-defectives with open sewage for morals keeps getting shoved in our faces by a demonic media.

And there’s enough filth and lowlife in Boston for him to thrust his hideous mug into Congress. It’s just such a shame about Massachusetts, which used to be where honest Yankees lived.

Remember how Carolina Kennedy opened up her mouth and showed off her Forrest Gump IQ without the Forrest Gump moral foundation?

Stupid Kennedy men married cows with liquified brains to produce this hoard of ugly whelps...

Wonder what kind of stupid wh*re he’s “marrying”? Probably just another Kennedy “beard.”

Heh, heh, now tell us what you REALLY think!

My comment would have been meaningless without copying your wonderful rant. The Kennedy klan is such a target-rich environment but I personally am glad that Teddy the Swimmer is still dead. It’s said his Arlington grave is heavily guarded since Scotch fumes are expected to rise from it for years to come and it draws the homeless like flies.

But yeah, the Kennedys are prolific, political, and likely to be bothering the rest of us non-Massholes for a very long time. Thank goodness that not one single one of them is known for being a mental giant. In fact, poor Rosemary was probably the smartest among them (remember, she was lobotomized for rebellion against Rose, not for retardation).

My advice to the woman, don’t get into a car, boat or plane with him.

He and his twin brother Matthew Rauch Kennedy (brother’s middle name is same as the surname for their birth mother,
Sheila Rauch; their dad tried to get the Catholic church to
annul the marriage) were both born in 1980, indeed. His brother was burned by some fireworks (illegal) lit off by his arrogant father. Boston talk host Howie Carr plays a clip from
the Godfather—the scene where Moe Green angrily confronts
Michael Corleone: “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” — to represent
Joe Kennedy II’s anger and sense of entitlement.

So far Joe III* hasn’t been in trouble; no drunken driving
situations involving drowning, no affairs with 14 yr old
babysitters, no rape charges, etc.

*—the lad should be Joe IV but the Kennedys somehow screwed it up. The patriarch was “Joe Sr.”, the one who died in WW II was “Joe Jr” (should have been Joe II);
RFK’s son is “Joe II” (should be Joe III) and he is
“Joe III” but should be Joe IV. For several years his dad,
now about 60 yrs old and white haired, has run TV ads for
Citizen’s Energy, heating oil provided by “the good people of Venezuela” (i.e., Chavez).

“Joe II”’s brother Michael also used to work for Citizens
Energy, as did Michael Skakel, nephew of Ethel Skakel
Kennedy (RFK’s wife). Michael Skakel of course is in prison now for Martha Moxley’s murder with a golf club, and I think it was Michael Skakel who spilled the beans about
Michael Kennedy’s affair with the 14 yr old babysitter...later Michael Kennedy would die when he skiied into a tree when the family was playing ski-touch-football.
Irony #1: Michael Skakel married a...golf pro (this after
the situation of beating Martha to death with a golf club).
Irony #2: Michael Skakel would also work driving Ted Kennedy...this despite that fact that Skakel, like Ted,
had a bit of a problem with the bottle.

What a fun family...we in MA can’t wait for more. (Better yet, let’s hope someone can beat him should he declare.
Sean Bielat, who ran against Barney Frank in ‘10 and put a good scare into him, has declared I believe and so has
a woman named Elizabeth Childs, IIRC, both GOP)

She should probably avoid golfing with him as well. When in doubt, give him a drink.

Ted K’s drink of choice. The Kennedy family had a reputation for booze distributing, didn’t they?

From Wikipedia entry on Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.:
>>A recurring story about Kennedy is that he made money in bootlegging, the illegal importation and distribution of alcohol during Prohibition. Although there is no hard evidence of this, Kennedy did have extensive investments in the legal importation of spirits. The “bootlegging” story itself may be traceable to Canadian distiller Samuel Bronfman and to New England bootlegger Danny Walsh and his crime syndicate, which did in fact smuggle spirits across the Canadian–American border during this period. Post-Prohibition, Bronfman had a bitter rivalry with Kennedy in acquiring North American liquor distribution rights

Wow, what kind of dirt does the bride have *on* him, anyway?

Thanks Zakeet.

(regarding the whole deal with Kennedys and suffixes to names,
in the “Talk” section of Wikipedia’s entry on Joe II—the
almost 60 yr old son of RFK—it says that Joe Jr’s death in
WW II resulted in RFK’s son moving up from being considered Joe III to being called Joe II; or, as I have thought, it may have to do with not being in a direct line. Joe II is the son of RFK, not the son of Joe Jr (who never lived to have kids IIRC). Similarly “Joe III” isn’t called Joe IV for that same
reason.

Whatever.)
