Patrick Kennedy: O U T
— Ace

He won't be seeking reelection, as he's decided to spend more time with his dangerous narcotic diet pills.

From Gabe on Twitter:

Poll had only 35% saying they would vote to reelect P. Kennedy. He faced primary challenge from Jon Brien and GOP fight with John Laughlin.

And also, his 2006 campaign slogan -- Less Hookers, More Blow -- was "dated."

11 Doesn't a Kennedy have to like be caught with a hooker, be caught drunk, kill a woman, rape a woman, grope a waitress, get f'd up on blow, buddy up with the enemies of the United States or die to no longer be elected up in New England?

I can still remember in 2004 when Kerry gave a response to a Bush speech dead drunk. He was rambling and incoherent. The MSM talking head on the station I was watching said something like, "We're cutting out now, obviously it has been a long and tiring day of campaigning for Mr Kerry."

I would suggest that Patches will have a great deal of spare time, and a favorite Kennedy pursuit is learning to fly. Twelve hours bottle to throttle never stopped any Kennedy, and Patches could end up in as a crispy critter in a uniquely distorted airplane wreck with hair, teeth, and eyeballs scattered about the landscape.

When Patricia Bowman (The Blue Blob) made the complaint against William Kennedy Smith, and the Palm Beach County District Attorney filed rape charges, the entire clan descended to protect on of their own. There were limited seats in the Court House because the Kennedy family had "reserved"seating? Just how do you reserve seating in a public arena?

One final point. After Willie raped Pattie Bowman by the edge of the pool at the Kennedy compound, Ted testified he never heard any sounds from the pool area. On that evening, the winds were SE at steady 15, gusting to 25 and Ted's bedroom window was only about 30 feet straight line distance. You make the call.

PS Willie was acquitted of rape! Psssst, he did it!

Patches will say he lost the will to fight the nasty republicans because of his father's death. He will state he intends to spend the rest of his life fighting for liberal causes in his father's honor.

What will really happen is Patches will continue boozing, snorting coke, popping pills, but without the immunity of Congressional privilege. Patches is going to find out it ain't easy being a Kennedy without a cause.

Patrick Kennedy, a fart in the bathtub, need not seek

office again. The "Kennedy mystique" is now a very

parochial schtik, despite the MSM paeans to the

contrary. I have the same right to detest a Kennedy

as you do to love a Spongebob Squarepants.

Can we get some AoSHQ stimulus money for various morons and moronettes, whom are now unemployed, and use that stimulus money to employ them.

I want to hire Rum to bake me cookies and then deliver them to me in San Diego while wearing stompy boots.

Though, of course as Mass proved, no one is safe.

122 "Thick as thieves"...a case could be made that the statement would be just as accurate if the conjunction were dropped.

Watson's district's a lost cause, the anointed replacement Karen Bass might almost be sane by comparison but she's a creature of the usual run of California Dem interests, doubt there'll be a measurable difference in their votes.

139 We've had our first "concerned conservative" sighting of this campaign season. In our statewide daily paper, they ran a letter from a "lifetime, rock-ribbed conservative" urging every conservative to vote for Blanche Lincoln. The writer claimed that she was our best hope to elect a moderate who would represent our conservative values.

Seriously, dude?

Her lifetime ACU rating is 18.7. Yeah, that's moderate to conservative.

I can only assume they think we are morons and will believe everything we read.

143 89 Can some RI moron(ette) hit us with the 2x4 of knowledge on this district? With that git out, are we going to see Buddy Cianci win as an independent? Actually, is Cianci out of jail? What's the deal with John Loughlin? And who will step in as the Dem candidate? Any chance for a pickup?

Pickup is now unlikely; depends on how well this fellow Loughlin can do the Scott Brown act against the RI machine. However, there is a possibility with the upcoming redistricting that RI could lose a seat anyway.

I doubt Buddy will run (yes, he's out of jail). The bigger problem may be to keep Lincoln Chafee out of the governorship. That's the kind of rearguard action we're fighting.

Being a Kennedy means just being handed power and riches because of your last name. I'm not sure who disgusts me more, the family or the voters who put them in office.

I suspect that this 3rd rate stumblefuck realized he couldn't hack it in Washington without Daddy Teddy there to hold his hand.

158 A happy day here in the 1st Cong District of RI. But, the Republican will have a difficult time of it even if he runs against the proverbial Democrat yellow dog. Speaking of yellow dogs, we have the Lynch boyz - Patrick, the ethically challenged AG and his bro, William, head of the state Democrat RICO conspiracy party. There are others, but I doubt they include Cianci. I consistently voted against Cianci in Providence after his first term, but damned if I wouldn't vote for him against either of the Lynches or most any other Democrat who might take a run at it.

We can't let our guard down. When you grew up as cranky and short of stature as I did, you learned to live the old saw "Kick 'em when they're down".

In the service it morphed into "Shoot 'em in the Back".

Bottom line. We need to keep up the skeer.

160 Wow. The other day Howie Carr wrote a column about the possibility of Patches losing and I chalked it up to wishful thinking. I guess without Teddy around to bigfoot everybody, the Kennedy tentacles are gonna get lopped off one by one.
Come to think of it, this has been a terrible year for the Clan. Teddy's seat goes Republican, Obama declares that we can't go to the moon, and now their weakest link finally snapped.
The country, and probably future Kennedy kids themselves, are better off for it.

<i>And also, his 2006 campaign slogan -- Less Hookers, More Blow -- was "dated."</i>

Hilarious thread.

Also, elective politics are out for the Ks, but not appointments, now that Obams rules the world with his Treasury and EPA robots. Algore did pretty well with his cooked up AGW with the help of the government. The Ks will answer the call and skim off another billion or two before they are done.

You know itÂ’s bad when New England denizens are sick of the Kennedys. After 60 years of mafia connections, corruption, homicide, treason, and rape, the Kennedys are finally out of office. I sincerely hope the rest of the endless supply of the clan decides to stay on the sidelines.

So, I'll bet you three hundred dollars."The man then begins to undo his pants and begins pissing. He starts pissing all over the bar, spraying on the bottles and the bartender, not making a single drop in the cup.The bartender starts smiling and laughing and says, "That's it, you owe me three hundred dollars."The man then gets up and walks over to the pool table and starts laughing and shaking hands with the men standing there. He walks back to bar, sits down and starts laughing at the bartender and hands him the money.The bartender asks, "Why are you laughing? You just lost the bet."The man said, "I'm laughing because I bet those guys over there one thousand dollars that I could piss all over you and your bar and you would still be laughing when I was done."Monster Beats
