Ted maintained his Senate seat out of generational sorrow and nostalgia, but had he lived to see the #MeToo era, he would never have survived.

I'm not so sure about that. As the author states, voters forgave him for Chappaquidick. Over and over again.

He died because he was incompetent. And he killed two other people because of it.

Yeah, he was an inexperienced pilot. If he wanted to attempt that flight against the advice of more experienced fliers, that would be one thing. But he took his wife and sister-in-law along too.

They were political dynasty.

They didn’t have all of that before 1961.

I’ve heard that a Kennedy has never lost an election in Massachusetts. Is that true? If so, we may see history made in this election.

I recall Kathleen Kennedy Townsend lost an election for governor of Maryland, so Kennedys in other states don’t always win.

America doesn’t need political dynasties. We don’t need any more Harrisons, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, or Trumps for that matter. The off-springs may be worthy souls, but with a population of 330 million to chose from, they shouldn’t get a boot-up for the family names or relationship.

I saw JFK Jr. once in NYC back in the 1990s. The one thing that stood out to me is that his head seemed enormously out of proportion to the rest of his body. I remember thinking at the time: “I didn’t know someone entered a horse named JFK Junior in the Belmont Stakes.”

Ted Kennedy was a sorry assed sack of shit that ruled the Democrat Party with an iron fist.

Another reason why the DEMOCRAT SWAMP needs to be emptied.

If Joe Kennedy III wins the Joe for President 2024 bumper stickers get printed. Or maybe even if he loses.

Howie Carr has called him "Joe-Joe-Joe Kennedy" though a few times he gave him a nickname I liked: Joe Kennedy da Turd.

Markey is due to "beat him like a redheaded stepgrandchild"

Pam Kelley, crippled by Joe III's dad, Joe II--although the NY Times article at the time called him Joseph P Kennedy III. (The Joe now running for Senator was born in 1980. His dad had this accident in 1973)

article

The most seriously injured person in the crash was Pamela Kelley, 18, of Centerville. She suffered a back injury that left both her legs paralyzed.

NANTUCKET, Mass., Aug. 20 (UPI)—Joseph P. Kennedy 3d, oldest son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was convicted today of negligent driving that resulted in an accident that at least temporarily paralyzed a teen‐age girl. He was fined $100.

Mr. Kennedy, who pleaded not guilty and did not testify, was accompanied to the crowded court by his mother, Ethel, and his uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts.

Could be because “Joe II” and “Joe III” are the descendants of Robert Kennedy. So there was the Joe II that got killed in the war, and the Joe who was Cong. for awhile...Oh well.
