| Joe Kennedy III - A 'Star' Is Born |
| 2018-01-31 |
| 1) Nothing says 'new, modern Democratic Party' like the runt of the Kennedy litter; 2) Yes, he was drooling, or he forgot to wipe the jizz off of his mouth. [TheWrap] Many Democrats on Twitter praised Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III on Tuesday for a State of the Union response that was inclusive and impassioned. Republicans said he was literally drooling. The response to the State of the Union is an unenviable job ‐ the speaker needs to follow the president, spelling out an agenda from the ultimate bully pulpit. Many on the left said Kennedy, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, did his ancestors proud by appealing to struggling Americans from all walks of life. But look at the right side of his mouth, said Republicans. That’s spittle! The speech was a decent one for the first couple of minutes but quickly devolved into the usual litany of Democratic clichés and talking points. |

| #12 Not much luster left from the Kennedy clan. Let's face it, the Dems are desperate. Between Hillary and Obama, the DNC got tapped out of money, leadership, direction and future candidates. Not all bad for the pubs if they choose to push prosecutions and try to restore the rule of law. C,mon Trump, your supporters were not B.S.-ing when they said "Lock her up." |

| #9 I thought it was the lip gloss he forgot to wipe off after coming out from under Schumer's desk. |

| #3 Democrats fight back against rich people who don't get there via merit by using Joe Kennedy III?!? Trump couldn't have asked for a better opponent |

| #2 He was pathetic. He sounded like something you'd hear in a high school speech class. He was obviously nervous, looked like he was breaking out in flop sweat. He did a lot of whining and had very few facts. The kid is still wet behind the ears and nowhere near ready for prime time. |

| #1 I thought that was just me; first attributed the glare on his right side to bad lighting...then it got bigger...then on his left side. The speech itself was ok, bland, and predictable. The delivery, whiney and disconnected. We were the ones who waded into the waters to rescue people? Really Uncle Joey? |
