Yeah! By all means, let’s IGNORE THE FRIGGIN’ LAW and tell the voters to go to hell. After all I’m a KENNEDY!!!

One thing about Teddy—he’s breathtakingly arrogant right to the last!@!

It is important to do things quickly. Like, you know, knock on the door of the closest house after you have an accident...

I posted this before, but I always let out a sarcastic giggle when I see a picture or plate of any of the Kennedys at a yard sale.

Why are these people revered? What did they ever do that was good for America? Teddy's 1965 immigration abortion has f*cked this country up more than anything else I can think of. At least until Barry took office.

Honestly, I have more respect for dryer lint than anyone from that clan.

As you probably know...the Mass. Legislature changed the law so Gov. Mitt Romney couldn’t appoint a Republican if Kerry won the 2004 election.

Now that Dem Duval Patrick is Governor and Kennedy wants to make sure there will be a Dem vote for ObamaCare....the call goes out....to change the law again.....this Dems are not about giving the people the right to decide.....what hypocrisy!

And under the guise of having 2 senators ASAP....well when Kerry was running he missed most of the votes and was a no show senator!

I’m not sure I asked him to resign - but the rationale of needing “two voices” (which pretty much means voting representatives) in the Senate is pretty well undercut if you don’t actually vote. I’m saying that this document (the letter and its premise) is like so much else about Kennedy - simply not true.

He’ll probably suggest his wife replace him.

I think what happened...now that he’s in his last 100 days or so...is that the pollsters have figured that Vicki can’t win. There are at least one other Kennedy family member who apparently has better polling...and at least four other state players (all democrats) who also have better numbers. There is even the remote possibility that someone could appear out of nowhere for the republicans and trigger further issues.

Vicki? She can’t compete in an election. Based on one video I’ve seen of her....she hasn’t got a great talent with speeches....so this is pretty much a joke. Ted has to whip up some interest quick....but I think it’s too late.

Remember, Patrick keeps getting elected.

It's not the peoples' seat, you see.

It's the Kennedy seat.

It belongs to them.

Not us.

The headline should be, "The Kennedy staff...". Since Kennedy has been in the total control of his staff for the past 40 years. The Kennedy staffers are the most Marxist and the most powerful of all the Senators.

I was hoping for a speedy process to replace him when he killed Mary Jo.

“Remember, Patrick keeps getting elected.”
It’s his campaign stategy that works... Campaign-Election- Kennedy Incident-Rehab Campaign-Election-Kennedy Incident-Rehab.

The difference between Patches and Fatboy is when Patches crashes he only hurts himself....so far.

Expect the booze business to apply for an emergency bailout right after he reaches room temperature.

Two bullets and nice hair made them revered as martyrs.

Amen to that! Ok, the one brother got KIA in WW2 (and LOTS of other ‘regular’ folks did too). Outside of that? You hit the nail on the head.

You won’t run into either at the Mensa meeting.

No Kennedy and Byrd, no cloture.
