Sen Ted Kennedy

[NewsShooter]

died a short time ago, according to CNN news.

So much for all the drama in trying to get him to resign or the Governor to appoint someone.
I never did like the man or what he stood for, yet I wish death upon only those who truly deserve it.
RIP

If I can't say something nice, then.........

Lifetime bureaucrat. I just hope he's not in the news as long as MJ was.

RIP Ted. Didn't agree with his politics, but he did serve the people of Mass. for many years. Now let's hope they vote in a conservative.

Tell him to say "Hi" to Mary Jo. RIP

 

[Dogman]

Guess the BS about what a great person he was will be on tv for weeks, and what all he did for the poor while living in his mansion and sailing on his yachts.
No loss, goodbye, go face Mary Jo.

Judgment day is finally here. Bye

I think he now has a lot of explaining to do. Not happy to see him go, but not sad either.

Bout time that drunken murder, that enemy of just about every American ideal, is gone.

No crocodile tears from me, no fake rememberances of his "years of public service." That treasonous filth has peed on the Constitution for half a century.

Tell him to say "Hi" to Mary Jo. RIP

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

Here was a guy who was born to wealth and privilege.

Cheated on his bar exam.

Left his date to die after his drunk driving wreck.

Lived a life of excess and drunkenness.

Serial cheater and wife abuser.

And on and on.

Yet now we will hear for days about what a "great" guy he was?

 

[sonovasailor]

I won't miss the old drunken jack ***. I am against EVERYTHING he stood for. "Hey Ted, say hello to Saddam, Adolf, and Judas for me!"

Watch the national media fawn all over themselves making this very flawed human being into a martyr. Then, congress will rush to name all kinds of buildings, bridges, highways and airports after him. He was a spoiled rich kid who never had a real job in his life. He was a womanizer and a drunk. He was the archtypical faux-Catholic, going through the motions of religiosity while doing everything he could to undermine he church's bedrock social teachings. He has a new perspective now.

 

[eatsnopaste]

what was in Ted's favorite drink? ......scotch and murky water, they called it a CHAPPAQUIDDIC. Try explaining Mary Jo and more than likely YOUR unborn child!
That whole business was the first time I realized the rich, despite talk of equality and fairness, got away with ay more than the average Joe, even Homicide.

I want everyone to take a deep, deep breath. Smell how sweet the air smells now. That's because old Ted isn't stinking it up anymore. As my signature says, The Kennedy's cars and golf clubs have killed more people then my guns!

 

[raider600]

Well... Interesting. I don't know what to think.
Best of luck in the afterlife. Not that there is much there to do...

Brit Daniel Hannan reflects on TK
Ted Kennedy was wrong about most things, but he was a great parliamentarian - Telegraph Blogs

At the beginning of his career, Kennedy watched a group of Southern Democrats filibustering civil rights proposals for which there was clear majority support, both in the Senate and in the nation as a whole.
