  1. And this earlier story

    BOSTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II is offering his prayers to the family of late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying he cared deeply about the poor and helped nearly two million Americans through the former lawmaker’s heating assistance charity.

    Kennedy’s son, newly elected U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, D-Mass., also released a statement saying his thoughts and prayers are with Chavez’s family. He said it is his hope “the United States and Venezuela can build a productive relationship for the future.”

    So you need to add one more generation of useful fascist idiots to the Kennedy line.

    1. Just think about how much evil has been done in the name of “helping the poor”.

      In almost every case, all that happens is that the ruling clique gets more money and power, while the poor get crumbs, and are also locked into dependency on their rulers.

      Yet the liberal mush-heads fall for it every time, and pride themselves for being “compassionate”, while denigrating the rest of us for being cold and callous.

      Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

    2. Also, Hugo Chavez, that great champion of the poor, died a billionaire. I’ve heard that the Castro brothers have done pretty well for themselves, too.

      Seems like there’s a lot of money to be made in proletarian revolutions.

    3. There’s not much money to be made but there’s a heck of a lot of it to be seized and squandered. Then people wise up and quit making stuff that’s just going to get stolen from them anyway. So then they stand around in long lines to go shopping in empty stores.

      There was a Soviet comrade who patiently stood in line for four hours, and when he finally got up to the counter he proudly announced “I would like to buy some fish!” The clerk looked at him and said, “Are you stupid? You stood for hours in the wrong line! This is a bakery. We don’t have any bread. The store without any fish is across the street.

      Another that I like is about a Soviet woman who sees a man trudging through the thick mud of their village street with only one boot on. She hollers out in sympathy “Comrade! I’m so sorry you lost a boot!” He smiled and hollered back “To the contrary! I have found one!”

    4. That useless idiot was elected to the House by my clueless neighbors, who preferred a naive hack who has no significant life or work experience over Sean Bielat, a Marine officer with degrees from Georgetown, Wharton and the JFK School at Harvard: who managed the PackBot program at iRobot, among other achievements.

      The joke here was that Joe Kennedy III wouldn’t debate Sean because Joe’s mom couldn’t drive him to the debate.

      THe “Joe for Oil” ads during the Olympics have had me on the verge of needing a new TV, due to impact damage.

      JFK, for all his faults, must be spinning at about 3500 RPM, nearing redline.

      1. This and the related lionization of both Hillary! and Chelsea Clinton reveal the American news media for what they really are: courtiers, vying for recognition by those they consider their superiors and whom they wish to serve. Maybe there’s a gene for serfdom…

  2. Dittos to “Paul in BarneyFrankistan” re the choices of our mutual neighbors in the Bielat/Kennedy contest. I find that paying as little attention as possible to the later Kennedy generations is healthy.

    I recall back when JII (that is Joseph the second, who doesn’t deserve that designation because he’s not royalty anywhere but here and he is not a son of the Joe who died in WWII) was in full “We’ll help you with cheap heating oil” mode. I guess I missed that JIII was doing the same. Boo-hoo.

    With each generation the Kennedys seem to explore shallower reaches of the gene pool. Of course, patriarch Joe was a great hater and b-srd, but at least he was smart (or sly?). The descendants are just clueless suck-ups to tyranny in the name of “justice.”
