Don't worry, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Kennedy was a hypocritical terrorist supporting ******* who seems to have been manipulating state law to advance his personal political beliefs.
John wins the Presidency by his old man buying Illinois votes.
Bobby beds the widow Kennedy, his sister in law while still married and running for President.
Teddy is thrown out of Harvard for paying someone to take his exam and bails on a drowning women.
These are not men of virtue or to be admired.
Now, the guy dies, the Gov. wants the law changed back to what it was before KENNEDY asked that the law be changed to block a potential republican Senator form being appointed.
It's too bad the guy became ill and died, for him and his family.
However it simply sounds like a hack millionaire politician died and now his family wants to be anointed once again.
It is not a great loss.
BTW - Jacoby is 100% correct in his article. Kennedy should have resigned a year ago.
For a while, although I rarely agreed with his positions on the issues, I respected that he knew what he believed in and worked hard to try to push the ball forward toward what he knew he wanted. I can appreciate that.
Unfortuntaely, I lost all respect for him the minute he uttered the lines "... In Robert Bork's America....." and all of the lies that went along with it. He forever changed the nomination of SCOTUS justices from a discussion based on qualifications to a discussion based on beliefs and "life experiences" that to this day is wrong. I blame Ted for that.
as for Jacoby, the timing was unfortunate, but why is asking the question if a Senator who has not spent one day in the Senate for the last 6 months because of health issues should resign so awful. Is he doing his job? Would he ever have done it again?
The people of Massachusetts deserve representation in the Senate and if I were in the position where I knew that I could not serve my constituents and would probably never do so again, I would resign. the only thing he is guilty of is bad timing.
I wouldn't mind if some columnist had called for his resignation every day. I wouldn't mind if they called him on the phone and asked him to his face - every day.
Right about now old Ted is roasting on a spit, and it's nothing less than he deserves. I remember Chappaquiddick. The lying, corrupt, alcoholic murderer should have resigned 45 years ago.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
By "lying, corrupt, alcoholic murderer" I think what he actually meant was "money-grubbing hypocrite, son of a hate-filled bootlegger and brother of circuit philanderers, who achieved zilch and will be remembered for leaving a woman to drown, also cynically touting the misty-eyed crazy Irish vote by repeatedly encouraging and harboring cold-blooded terrorists responsible for murdering over 3000 Brits and often, ironically, Irish, few of whom had anything to do with their dickfaced wholly-fictitious 'struggle'. There's blood on his hands and he deserves to rot in hell".
...I *think* that's what ffarkle meant, and who can blame him?
As soon as his cancer was detected, we have noticed the immediate attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. Let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.
1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.
2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).
3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!
4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia, he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark.. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!
5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was Legally Intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?
6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's' keys to his Oldsmobile limousine and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond. He swam to shore and walked back to the party passing several Houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later
Testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of- state to her family before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills.... A "token of friendship"?
8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors, and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for Liberalism". In his very first Senate roll he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries..
9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of "what's right". What a pompous ass!
10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous, and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than "great American". "A blonde in every pond" is his motto. Let's not allow the spin doctors to make this jerk a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is.
I'm not entirely sure how him dying would have changed Jeff's opinion. That's the great thing about this country is that everyone, even Jeff, is entitled to have an opinion.
To this day I still think Michael Jackson is a child molester. Does everyone else? No. Does that make me a "dipshit" because I still have that opinion when he's dead?
C'mon Steve, let us know what the politically correct limit is.
Is it okay to be about to die and to ask that the laws be rewritten to favor yøur own side? Seems to me that you think it is.
Then again, you'd know.
Perhaps I should keep my REAL (Dan) feelings to myself and not apply it to my blog.
After all Teddy did bail on a drowning woman... hummm...
not that that really matters in today's world.
Senator Kennedy ruined the Kenndy name. Teddy was a shadow and a embarrasment to the family name and the "TYPICAL, SUPER lib" with no legacy other than John, and Bobby...
Oh yes, so those economic geniuses can spend money like drunken sailors (an insult to drunken sailors everywhere) and then underestimated the deficit by 2 trillion dollars?
Or the geniuses who think our money's better spent closing Guantanamo & giving Bermuda millions of OUR TAX DOLLARS to put terrorists up in elegant LUXURY HOTELS??
Or the geniuses that include amongst their ranks Nancy (where's a flying Kansas farmhouse when you really need one) Pelosi, the vile Ma'am Boxer, and the dufus Harry Reid?
and what about Countrywide Chris Dodd.... Kennedy's partner in making the infamous 'waitress sandwich' as reported in GQ....
and lest we not forget other Mensa members like Maxine Waters, John Conyers, & Al Franken (you know, the failed comedian who told Sotomayor that he liked Perry Mason during her Senate confirmation hearings... yeah that pinnacle of the Democrat Party)...
Yup, the Democrat party certainly has cornered the market on intelligence & integrity....
Talk about fact checking: Kennedy was behind a move four years ago to take away the governor's power to appoint an interim successor to a vacated Senate seat, something the Globe's reporters and other columnists NEVER MENTIONED; one other Globe columnist had the gall to suggest that Kennedy was just the guy to lead to a solution to this intolerable (now that the governor is a Democrat) problem.
Either Kennedy was behind the move (in which case he should have been called to resign for hypocrisy), or he was too ill (in which case he should have resigned if he really cared about our representation), and the ghouls that work for him were using his name to manipulate the system, and an angry screed should be directed at them.
Rest in peace, Ted. Buy a mirror, FSJ.
Remember the article he wrote slamming Steve Jobs when he left FSJ blog to go write for the liberal rags?
Fucking turn coat.
Dan sent me a nastygram telling me to FuCK Off!
Dan failed there and had to come back here to his bread and butter.
FUCKING HACK!
Typical Liberal trying to be smart when he is only a smart ASS.
