Rico Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 And there's your legacy, Mr. Kennedy.Next time I'm in Massachusetts, I want to find out where he's buried so I can piss on his grave. Only Don Shula left to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The water was so shallow that the overturned Olds had its rear end and part of therear tires out of the water. The water was likely less than 6 feet deep. On his drunken stroll back to the compound, he passed a volunteer firehouse that had a phone outside that was answered 24/7 under a light. Why didn't he report it immediately at the compound that night? It was a 'youthful' mistake. He was only 37 at the time. The No. 1 search term at Google Trends Wednesday morning was "Ted Kennedy".Nos. 2 and 3: "Mary Jo Kopechne" and "Chappaquiddick." Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Lemme get this straight...you're going to be respectful when Bush and Cheney die. But IMMEDIATELY after you make that statement, you say that you want them to die soon. Way to prove you aren't partisan. In his defense, he didn't say "before they pass away". I can be respectful of Ted Kennedy in death...Chappaquiddick is now a matter of judgement between him and God; I have no need to dwell on it.

tennesseeboy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I won't... This thread is license to crap on anyone! Don't get me wrong on this. Duly respectful, in my opinion, means giving the two of them the respect that they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Mussolini made the trains run on time. George Bush threw a nice opening pitch. See...its not impossible to find something nice to say.

Gotta admit that Hitler and Cheney are a bit of a stretch though. You picked the obvious one - and I'm surprised it took a whole 8 minutes for someone to come up with that response. But, like your misguided worship of that murderous misogynist, Ted Kennedy, your statement about Mussolini is also a vile canard...

The Senator Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Being old enough to have many fond memories of Camelot, this is indeed a sad day. Of course he had his demons. Let only those who don't, cast stones. He overcame so much in his personal and political life to accomplish so much. It's conceivable history may show his biggest contribution to US politics may be forsaking his long friendship with the Clintons, to back/support Obama last year. For me, it's hard to imagine Hillary could have pulled it off.. Thank you for your service, Ted. R.I.P. Now, by "fond memories of Camelot", are you referring to the Bay of Pigs, the loss of Cuba, being brought to the brink of nuclear annihilation, and an escalation of the war in southeast Asia? (JFK accomplished all that all in a mere 1000 days - imagine what he might have done in full term...or two!) I'm glad you chose the term "Camelot" - as the as the many romantic myths surrounding the JFK administration are as much folklore as the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table! The notion of "Camelot" - and the very term itself, as it is used to refer to JFK's brief time as President - was coined/fabricated by Jackie purely for public consumption, in an interview with T.H. White for LIFE magazine a week after the assassination, and then expanded and perpetuated by a slew of other Kennedy sycophants. Ted's dead. People who are naive about his past want to grieve. I get that. But please, no more blind hero worship. That family has a history of misogyny and criminal behavior that goes all the way back to Ambassador Joe's bootlegging, stock-market manipulation, and dealings with the mob - including 'buying' the 1960 Presidential election. And, BTW - Obama was on Marxist Vineyard, right across Nantucket Sound from Hyannisport, yet he thought it better to squeeze in a round of golf instead of visiting the dying senator who basically derailed Hillary's campaign by endorsing/annointing Obama? Nice guy, that Barry Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guy, that Barry Obama. The bay of pigs was a debacle, but a cia debacle inherited from Eisenhower. The Missile Crisis, the Peace Corps, the Civil rights legislation pushed through after his assassination were significant. As to Ted Kennedy, lest the good be interred with his bones. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/27/us/polit...tml?_r=1&hp As to murder...sit down with the retired judge and look at the penal law definition and get back to me how you see mens rea or for that matter the actus reus that would justify such a charge...especially since no judge or grand jury made it at the time? Oh...where are those 20 items you promised after the crap you were posting yesterday as holy writ from the whacko right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
