Rep. Kennedy to bow out, spelling end to family era - The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON - US Representative Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek reelection, capping a dramatic year for the Kennedy family and probably leaving it without a member in Washington for the first time in more than six decades.

Kennedy made the decision based on “some personal struggles,’’ including the death in August of his father, Edward M. Kennedy, according to a Democratic official briefed on the decision. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because Patrick Kennedy has not yet made a formal announcement.

...

Unless another Kennedy decides to run for Congress and wins, Patrick Kennedy’s decision will mean that a Kennedy family member, or close associate, will not be serving in Congress next year for the first time since 1947.

Did NOT see this coming. Wow.

***** In early 2011 he will get some appointment by Obama. Count on it.
 
Patrick can now turn his attention to full time substance abuse with the inheritance form father Ted and his huge pension from the being in the house he never has to do anything work related ever. After all it's not like he ever did.

I do think that being a substance abuser extraordinaire does eminently qualify him for any position within the Obama administration. He would fit right in with the Socialists, radicals, Commies, and convicted felons and fellow drug abusers, that Obama likes to have around the White House.
 
Dropped out because he was getting whooped in the polls. LOL

I tell ya, you've got to REALLY screw up to lose as a Democrat in New England with Kennedy as your last name, or to fill a long-held Kennedy seat.

I'm stunned.

"Going in another direction" probably means rehab......:lol:
 
patrick's a punk, as bad as his dad

all the dui's, all the rehabs

the time the dc police drove him home and put him to bed, covering him up like chappaquiddick

the time he abandoned the rental he wrecked as if she were christened, "the kopechne"

2009 was teddy's ta ta, 2009 was health care, 2009 was massachusetts

kennedy's got crunched

the founder was a rum running nazi symp

the president got humiliated at bay of pigs, schooled at vienna by kruschev, stood off the soviets magnificently around cuba, launched the dream to the moon, escalated our presence in nam, and economically jfk was one of the biggest and most successful supply side tax cutters of the 20th century, before being martyred in dallas

the president was also personally a pig, almost immeasurably immoral, immature, mindless of the consequences of his selfishness

just like his dad, just like his youngest brother

are any of you old enough to remember the lion's primary challenge against smiley jimmy carter in 80?

LOL!

what a joke, it had only been 11 years

and he actually WON a dozen states, including california, new york, pennsylvania, new jersey...

NO standards, progressives

shame

kennedy arrogance, kennedy presumption, kennedy elitism and entitlement, kennedy corruption, kennedy vice...

have you no decency, sir

did you know ROBERT clerked for tailgunner joe, wisconsin's red baiting mccarthy?

like i said, gramps was a real peach
 
I too wish harmful things on people I disagree with politically! *highfive* Hahah guys I hope they have MORE family members die am I right guys?
 
wishing is for little girls
 
Another dead beat Kennedy recognising his limited appeal.
 
The important thing to remember here is that it is okay to act like jackals as long as you don't like a person, politically. Decency is overrated, and your soul is a small price for partisan cheap shots.

Because the national Republican Party is far more valuable than one's integrity and fortitude.

Nothing Kennedy does can justify somebody else acting like a jackal. You are responsible for your own dignity and decorum.

Luckily, it is the Internet, so there is no motivation to be upright or honorable.
 
joseph, john, teddy and patrick are/were reprobates

sorry
