Kennedys Still Pull the Strings

Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts has tapped Paul G. Kirk, Jr., a long-time aide and adviser to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, to replace Kennedy in the U.S. Senate. According to The New York Times:

Mr. Kirk said he was grateful the family chose him “to be a voice and a vote” for the late senator’s causes.

I guess it's still politics as usual in the Bay State.
