I’m a KENNEDY dammit! Just shut up and vote for me!

“You are $#@&%!* REQUIRED to vote for me! My father and my uncle got shot in the HEAD dammit! You owe it to their martyred memory to vote for every Kennedy who runs for office! Why are we even debating this! Kennedy’s always win! It’s the $#@&%!* LAW!”

Heh.

It’s not quite that bad. The Democratic Party if rife with Kennedy idolators, and they are touting Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (Robert Kenedy’s daughter,) as the next Kennedy to run for president. The problem is, her only elected office is that of liutenant governor, and she may not even win her current race, for governor of Maryland. Says the Weekly Standard:

“All these premature coronations have left many longtime Townsend-watchers in Maryland baffled. Says a reporter who’s covered her for years, “There’s a real disconnect between her national reputation and that in the state, where it’s quite mixed.” Indeed, many are asking a nagging question before Kennedy groupies are permitted to hand over the nation’s car keys: Regardless of whether Townsend can fend off her Republican challenger, four-term congressman Bob Ehrlich, is she qualified to be governor?”

I cannot discount Townsend’s electibility. Several years ago, there was some speculation one of the Kennedys was considering establishing a residence Illinois for a future run for office. A family member who will remain nameless was all giddy over the prospect of voting for a a real, live Kennedy. I asked if it was the rapist Kennedy or the golf-club-wielding murder Kennedy. I cannot print her response.
