**** happens and life goes on. I am the last of my generation. I have
lost a brother and sister, both suddenly. I did not try to get a marriage
annuled after more than 25 years of marriage, and by so doing, making my
offspring legally *******s. Nor did I kill anyone, make havoc in a bar
with Dodd, or go on a drunken spree that has lasted ever so long. Ted
Kennedy is the weakest of the three brothers (I do not include Joe because
Ted did no know him). I am sorry for his death, but I certainly will not
miss his lies and hypocrisy. Richard was correct in his admonition of the
man. Some will think him a saint; I look upon him as a joke, dead or
alive.

So speaks the living Jester! Good on ya Davey.

with RFK's campaign, was found dead in the submerged car's back seat
10 hours later."

Nice legacy, Teddy...

Guess you didn't have it in you to stick around long enough to get
voted
out like the rest of your croonies will in 2010...



A surprisingly astute observation from someone who has never, ever f**ked
up.

John... there but for the grace of god...

John,

The woman was pregnant, probably with his kid, and
she did not drown. She suffocated. So, somehow,
the drunk managed to get out of the car underwater
and close the door behind himself so she would
suffocate instead of drown. I say "murder one".

He also negotiated with the Soviets behind Reagan's
and the state department's backs -- can we cay "treason".
(That was discovered in the KGB's archives.)

Have you heard his nasty, vitriolic comments on the
senate floor about Judge Bork and Clarance Thomas?
This is not a nice man by any stick. He tried
to destroy these mens careers and even their
very lives.

Lets not forget the "waitress sandwiches". What
a pervert.

And, no not "there but for the grace of god".
Who anyone could compare there tribulations
in life to that pig is incredulous.

Just my 2 cents.

and I say you are not too bright if you actually believe that. As to her
pregnancy, I haven't heard that mentioned, in any reasonable forum. For the
other part, please demonstrate for us all how one can open, and then shut, a
car door behind oneself while not allowing water inside.

Just my 2 cents.

you have a highly inflated sense of worth, based on reading this, Todd.

Ted Kennedy - Devout Catholic.....Every 6 years

He ignored facts and as President Reagan said, “facts are stubborn
things”. I remember in the early 1970s, Kennedy, a leading advocate
for amnesty for draft dodgers, took questions at a public event (at
least he had the honor to do this unlike current politicians). A man
got up, told him he’d lost his son in Vietnam and asked just how he
could be such an advocate for amnesty when his own brother, JFK,
started the Vietnam War and his brother’s appointees (MacNamara, Rusk,
Westmoreland) had so thoroughly botched it. Ted mumbled something
incoherent and called on someone else with a friendlier question.
Facts are stubborn things.

I have heard rumors (and that's all they were) about her being
pregnant. As far as his leaving the car and closing the door, I don't
know. But I do know that she could have been saved. There was a
pocket of air in the car and she took shelter in it, breathing it until
the CO2 killed her. If he wasn't drunk he could have gotten help or
helped her himself. His abandonment of her, going to sleep (probably
to sober up), and not reporting it until it was too late is the part
that bothers me about his character. His "trial" was a travesty. He
should have gone to jail.

I feel that the US might be wise to take a tip out of Europe's book,
and deprive their Royal Families of political power.

The Bushes, Kennedies and Windsors are fine for scandal and fashion,
but politics is much better done by dull people who are given office
for their ability, rather than because of who their relatives happen to
be.
