Joe Kennedy III calls for ending “cheap oil”

Joe Kennedy III calls for ending “cheap oil.” The latest descendant of the clown dynasty is now trying grab to Barney Frank’s old seat (sorry about that.) BTW… “Since 2005, Kennedy’s father, former Mass. Rep. Joseph Kennedy Jr., has teamed up with Hugo Chavez…to bring free oil to poor people in the United States.” Make that “end cheap oil WE ain’t handing out for political purposes.”

  • I call for “Who gives a shit what a Kennedy thinks” moratorium. None of them have every wanted for and have never worked for a damn thing that they have. It was all smuggled in during prohibition and Grand Pa Joe was one of the so called speculators that just enjoyed destroying companies and lives during the depression by shorting them in the stock market. Don’t forget he was removed as ambassador to Great Britain for being a Nazi sympathizer.

  • Given the Kennedy family "curse" I suggest this guy get out of politics and maintain a very low profile. AHAHAHAHAHA! As if!

  • Doesn't this bozo have an airplane he should be flying in? He could charter a flight over the Atlantic at night, make sure to bring the mother in law.

  • Since cheap oil ended around 2008, Kennedy should declare victory and disappear into the dust bin of history with the rest of his family.

  • Hey the democommies want fairness, fairness. How about this? If your net worth, including but not limited to all the assets you have stashed in foreign accounts or any foreign assets, is over say $10m, you pay $25/gal. If over $25M, $50/gal, etc. If you are a federal politician, it is a minimum of 10 times the price the peasants pay at the pump, unless the net worth rule applies. Riders in government limos, must pay for the gas our of their own pockets according to the above rules.
    George soros, Warren Buffet, the Mass. Kennedy clan, Sean Penn, Bill Gates, and a few others pay $250 a gallon just for being assholes. There's fairness for you.

    • We should, but then the Kennedy's would just drink it all and then we would be right back where we started.

  • "Forty years is enough." [Joe Kennedy III]

    If you mean forty years of the Kennedy clan you're right on target Joe.
    The Kennedys have been using their wealth, their prestige, their sense of entitlement and a servile press to win elections or appointments to important government jobs. Forty years of their arrogance and misrule is more than enough.

    It's telling that a Democrat Party that is waging war on the "rich, power grabbing 1%" gives a free pass to the Kennedys, the epitome of everything they pretend to despise.

  • "Kennedy has said that he is not running on his name"
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    (deep breath)...HAHAHAHAA..etc.

    And all of Chavez's oil comes in on Citgo ships; Citgo itself is a Chavez government entity. Do theyeven still have actual gas stations? If so they need to be boycotted and picketed.

    As for the Venezuelan tankers . . . anyone got Ragnar Danneskjold's phone number? I still know how to drive a ship if he needs help.

  • It is Mass. It would be great if this latest Kennedy Clown went down in defeat - but, as I stated earlier...it is Mass.
