And JFK is still dead. 57y +2d.
Of course his party is closer to Lee Harvey than to him, now.
But at least the clan is losing its luster. The name doesn't guarantee a win in Boston anymore. That Howdy Doordy is the son of Joe Kennedy II. He is not the one that paralyzed the late Pam Kelley. 2 did that.
Hard to follow them without a program. Lessee. The Original Joe Kennedy, bootlegger, child lobotomist, and Nazi pal, had a son, Joe Jr. Junior blowed up in a flying bomb in WWII.
Joe Senior had another son named Bobby, who had a son he named Joe 2. No direct relation to Joe Jr. Not a father-son thing, I mean. His grandad was Joe Sr. He dead. Joe 2. And, well, so are all the other people mentioned so far.
Joe 'Doody' 3 is HIS kid. Number 2 named his boy Joe 3. Joe 3 is not going to be Senator this cycle. And is unemployed here in a month or two.
Oddly #3 has a son named Jim. Maybe that is why he lost to Ed Markey. Broke the chain of Joe's. That's bad juju. JoeJoe. Or in your case, bad JoeJoeJoe.
I can't say I'm unhappy to see the end of the Kennedy dynasty, at politically. I wish we could say the same about the Clintons, but Chelsea is still a future possibility...
ReplyDeleteI think the fade out of the Bush dynasty has been better done than either of the other 2. Yes, 1 Bush is still in politics, but he is working hard and not drawing attention with his extra-curricular activities.
