Ted Kennedy was shocked and confounded to discover they actually sell Coke without Jack Daniels.

Ted Kennedy didn’t sniff the cork, he chewed it.

Ted Kennedy was kept awake at night by the sound of his liver crying.

Ted Kennedy always drank Irish Coffee for breakfast because it contains all four adult food groups: fat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol.

If it weren’t for the olives in his martinis, Ted Kennedy would have starved to death.

A definition of extraordinary from Merriam-Webster

“: very unusual : very different from what is normal or ordinary”


Ted sure was extraordinary. Not too many drunken murderers elected to the Senate.

Ted Kennedy like a splash of coffee in his morning whiskey.

MISSING FROM TED KENNEDY TRIBUTE: MARY JO KOPECHNE

by WILLIAM BIGELOW5 Sep 201278
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2012/09/05/clinton-and-kennedy-thugs-of-a-feather/

For Democrats, the end always justifies the means, and rhetoric will always trump reason. The two great orators of the Democratic party of the last 40 years, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, were two of the most immoral men who ever graced public life. Clinton will speak tonight, and as always, his horrific history of rape and abuse of women will be ignored so he can pose as a person who really cares.

Just ask Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willie, among others too numerous to name, how much he cares.

But the worst example of all is the Democrats lionizing of Ted Kennedy. In a seven minute video at the DNC, there were plenty of quotes from Kennedy and his admirers that should be seen through the agonized eyes of a young girl, slowly asphyxiating in a car submerged in water, a young woman vainly trying to open the door so she could breathe just one more time, a young woman betrayed by the scion of the country’s most powerful family who left her to die.

Mary Jo Kopechne.

Kennedy said:

For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.

Whose dream? Mary Jo’s?

I believe in the bright light of hope and possibility

I always have even in the darkest hours.

That bright light of hope was the pressure his family brought to bear so he wasn’t arrested for vehicular manslaughter.

Everything he did was about the future, it was about going forward.

You bet Kennedy never looked back.

Barack Obama: Those of us who knew Teddy and worked with him here —

people of both parties knew that what drove him was something more.

Sure they knew what drove him. The accessory to rape with his nephew, the sex on tables; why do you think Clinton idolized the Kennedys?

Ted Cruz’ first official act as president should be to demand that congress rename Pennsylvania Ave. “Mary Jo Kopechne plaza.”

McConnell praising Ted Kennedy is like the Jewish anti-defamation league praising Khomeini.

Mitch has been exposed as a double agent for the cause of big government, pro-abortion, fag-marriage, socialist medicine and a marginalized international presence.

Ted Cruz has shown the light of truth on a steaming pile of deceit named Mitch McConnell. Before conservatives can win out country back we must first win the civil war inside the party. Every traitorous "campaign conservative" needs to be primaried and purged. There is already a party for lefties, if we do not purge them there will be no party for conservatives.

You have to read down into the article

I did, thanks. After I refreshed the website the link started working. Looks like they're trying to immortalize Kennedy's time in the Senate. McConnell just demonstrating all that collegiality and remembering fondly how he used to reach across the aisle to the Swimmer.

The Republican party needs an enema. Any Republican who admires a Kennedy has either lost their mind, or has sold out. Either way they are no good for the party.

Making that statement with a serious face requires being dead from the neck up.
