Imagine that. The slack-jawed liberals in Taxachusetts will probably vote him right on in.
A scion of the famed Kennedy clan, Joseph P. Kennedy III, an assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, said he will consider running for US Representative Barney Frank’s congressional seat next year.
Kennedy, a Democrat,
Gee, there’s a surprise.
told the Globe yesterday, “I haven’t had an opportunity to give it a whole lot of thought, but I will give it some thought in the coming days and weeks.’’
Kennedy, 31, the son of former US representative Joseph P. Kennedy II, does not live in the Fourth Congressional District, but residency is not required to run for the office.
And going by the evidence proffered by that district over the past 31 years, sentience isn’t required to vote.
Take the name “Kennedy” out of the following and give this next section a read.
Since moving from the the Cape and Islands district attorney’s office to the Middlesex prosecutor’s office in September, Kennedy said he has been living with his father in Brighton and his mother in Cambridge.
Kennedy said he loves his job as a prosecutor and considers it a fulfillment of the family’s long commitment to public service.
If he were to run, he would not be the first Kennedy to take a new address to run for Congress. His father moved into the Eighth District from Marshfield when Thomas P. “Tip’’ O’Neill Jr. announced he would give up the seat in 1986.
His great-uncle, John F. Kennedy, moved to Beacon Hill to run for Congress in 1946, and his uncle, Max Kennedy, bought a house in West Roxbury, intending to run in 2001 for the late J. Joseph Moakley’s congressional seat, but he withdrew from the race. His great-great grandfather, John F. “Honey Fitz’’ Fitzgerald, was elected to represent a Boston-based district while maintaining a home in Concord.
If he wasn’t a Kennedy, he would be a 31-year-old who got his job through family connections still lives with his mom and dad. And his family would be nothing but a bunch of slithery carpetbaggers who gamed the system to amass power and get themselves on the government dole.
That, friends, is the Kennedy clan. Massachusetts, you’re welcome to them provided you can contain the damage they do (you can’t if they’re in Washington). But don’t lecture us southerners on, well, anything.
As far as I’m concerned, the only Kennedy worth much is the military historian. That may be *Max* Kennedy (his full name is Maxwell Taylor Kennedy, named after the WW2-era commander of the 101st Airborne) and I’ve read some of his stuff, it’s good…
” provided you can contain the damage”
MA taxes are so high, they are exporting liberals to other states.
MA liberals that flee the high taxes and move to NH are universally referred to as Massholes.
Actually, when you look at NH total taxes, including local real estate, and compare to MA state and local you actually have a wash in many instances. The real driver out of MA is the high home prices, not to mention a highly anti-business regulatory environment that even has the local darling biotech and high-tech companies setting up “centers of excellence” in more friendly climes.
I love to run for office here
In Massachusetts state
For when I run, I know I’ll win
Because my name is Fate.

“Since moving from the the Cape and Islands district attorney’s office to the Middlesex prosecutor’s office in September, Kennedy said he has been living with his father in Brighton and his mother in Cambridge.”
That still makes him ineligible for MA-4. Brighton and Cambridge are in the 7th district, currently represented by Ed Markey who plans on running again. This Kennedy cannot do basic geography!
It must be a district where the Kennedy crime family prevails.
Maybe that’s why the only politician more contemptable than Ted Kennedy won so easily for so many years.
