"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life." Dean Wormer, Faber College.
But it is worthy of a tagline!
I was at National Airport in DC one time, (I think it is now Reagan Airport), between planes, having lunch at a lunch counter between concourses. He passed by, within 2 feet of me. I instantly recognized him. He didn't yet have the weight in this picture you sent along, but I was struck by the pocks and scales all over his face. He looked as if he had a skin disease of some sort. Lost my appetite, and was thankful afterwards he wasn't on my plane,nor in the seat next to me once I boarded.
The exam he cheated on was for Spanish???
Not Physics, Calculus or Organic Chemistry?
Gee, that's tough - I am shocked!
Mary Joe is an American heroine. In losing her life, she
kept Tubby Teddy from ever becoming President.
Before we let Ted Kennedy take his seat on the Justice Committee for the John Roberts confirmation hearings, we need him to release the sealed documents from his case in
Chappaquiddick. In Kennedy's own words (concerning Judge Roberts' Justice Department documents), "There is no privilege, there is no rule, and there is no logic that would bar us from getting these documents . . ." If sealed documents are so important in determining a Supreme Court justice, then they are just as important for the American people to know the qualifications of these committe members.
This is the first I've ever heard about the "honorable" Senator's distinguished and "brilliant" military career. When I was in the military, we referred to people like Red Ted as dirtbags. And he had the gall to attack President Bush's military record. Give...me...a...break.
You're so right CedarDave,
What's behind all the blinders proudly worn by our friends the Dummycrats aka Kennedy's Useful Idiots?
Surely that don't really believe Kopechne's death isn't important just because 36 years have past? They can't really believe that Kennedy receiving a slap on the wrist for leaving the crime scene is justice served for a death HE caused either accidentally or otherwise? They were once a major force that fought against the death penalty on the grounds that "if just one innocent person is exucuted, it's murder or at the very least wrongful".....in their pursuit of what they considered justice. Like Kennedy doing nothing in the hours immediately following Mary Jo's death, they today, as they have for decades since Chappaquiddick have done nothing to see that justice is served in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne here in Massachusetts. What happened to the ideal of "if just one innocent person is executed...."? She was afterall one of their own flock, innocent, deserving of her civil rights.
Even Libs must admit blinders with blinders on and all, that the Kennedy family alone has inflicted more pain & torture upon women and children than they would have us believe Saddam & his sons Uday and Qusay ever did. Let's never forget Michael Skakel's murder of Martha Moxley and the 27 year cover-up of that brutal crime (side note: Skakel's own ex-mother-n-law, Hope Sheridan, had her own plunge into the Atlantic in 2004 under mysterious circumstances eerily similiar to Mary Jo's). Let's never forget Michael Kennedy's alledged rape of his fourteen year old babysitter in Cohasset, Mass nor the local "press" referring to as simply an "alledged affair" (note: Michael's life came to a sudden end too). Let's not forget the Kennedy family circling wagons during the William Kennedy Smith trial, Smith was accused back then of raping Patricia Bowman during yet another drunken Kennedy weekend, this time with a half dressed Teddy present along with his son Patrick Kennedy & nephew William K Smith. Smith beat that rap with the help of the elder Teddy but was later forced to resign as president and chair of the Center for International Rehabilitation in Chicago after charges that he had sexually assaulted Audra Soulias in 1999. Smith then reportedly paid six figures in an out-of-court settlement to Laura Hamilton for similiar misconduct against her, yet another female victim of a Kennedy. Let's not forget the mental anguish dished out by Joe Kennedy to his former wife Sheila Rauch, his "firecracker" incident, or the treatment Joan Kennedy is now receiving from the Kennedy syndicate.
Shameful perhaps but it's best explained if one realizes that our friends here in Boston have contracted "Cardinal Law Syndrome". That's when one knows all about crimes & misconduct committed by one's own flock and then not only chooses to ignore it but eventually accepts the misconduct as normal, then embraces it, then even promotes it.
Consider this: "Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, refused yesterday to back off on his earlier statements connecting Boston's ''liberalism" with the Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandal, saying that the city's ''sexual license" and ''sexual freedom" nurtured an environment where sexual abuse would occur." - The Boston Globe, July 13, 2005
I think Senator Santorum is onto something here, something obvious to even the most casual observer. All that's required is an honest review of the facts.
These same liberals aka Dummycrats nuture an environment where sexual misconduct & abuse is allowed to run rampant in Massachusetts Democratic circles & to fester nationwide. Gary, aka "Gerry" Studds' (D-MA) 1983 rape of a teenage Congressional page of the same sex and the homosexual whore house conducted out of Barney Frank's (D) Washington DC apartment come quickly to mind. Studds was censured for the homosexual rape & Frank reprimanded for abusing his office by fixing tickets for prostitute & lover Steve Gobey. Both Studds & Frank refused to resign their seats however. At the same time of Studd's misconduct, Illinois Rep Daniel Crane (R) was caught with a female page and likewise censured, he however lost his re-election bid by voters in Illinois ousting him. When Newt Gingrich (R -GA) was later reprimanded for "intentional or ... reckless" disregard of House rules by using tax-exempt foundations for political purposes he resigned unlike the corrupt Frank. There's simply no moral standards here in Massachusetts to compel crooked politicians to do the right thing nor the political leadership to force them to do so when required.
"Whatevah" is the Dummycrat mantra when one of their own is caught with their pants down or worst. "Forgetaboutit" & "Getoverit" they scream but that didn't stop them from going after Senator Robert Packwood who was accused of simply kissing women (on a serial basis) or at worst groping them dating back to 1969, the same period of time when Kennedy killed Kopechne. Again during that same period of time, the infamous Kennedy-Dodd sandwich incident was committed where both US Senators publically assaulted waitress Carla Gaviglio. Packwood resigned from the Senate after the Senate Ethics Committee recommended that he be expelled from the Senate for ethical misconduct. Both Kennedy (D) & Dodd (D) still serve though under less than honorably by most people's standards. Even the IRA called Kennedy's conduct into question recently.
Time elapsed didn't stop Dummycrat operatives from going after Clarence Thomas claiming he sexually harassed Anita Hill almost a decade earlier on nothing but her say so. Though Barbara Boxer jumped on that bandwagon she was noticebly silent when Gary Condit was embroiled in the Chandra Levy affair. No Whatevah for Thomas but a boatlaod of Forgetaboutit for Condit & other liberals hacks.
There's nothing for Santorum to apologize for. Perhaps if Teddy asks Roberts whether or not Roe vs Wade is settled law, Santorum or others might ask him if Chappaquiddick is?
NO! He has not had enough pain.
Do you really believe he would have treated Mary Joe as more
than "Quickie"? He has never been anything but a spoiled rich
brat.
Yes he claimed to have swam across but showed up with DRY clothing & asked for the time from the desk clerk. He was later caught in a lie when he stated he fixed the time from a dashboard clock that was not available in a rented car (not the Olds).
He passed four houses with three of them with lights on, one being that of a fireman. He also passed the unlocked volunteer fire station (with lit signal light) & failed to pull the alarm located there.
Amen, brother!
You can still buy it several places online. For example...

When it comes to people getting away with murder two names aways come to mind and they are Don King and Ted Kennedy.
Don King must have had the goods on somebody to get off and somebody has the goods on Ted Kennedy which makes him say the most insane comment I've ever heard coming from a government official.
In 1973, Sen. Ted Kennedy said, "Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?"
Kennedy and King have something
in common, you can get away with
murder.
Amazing, like Don King Says: "Only in America".
Prior to entering the world of boxing, King was a numbers racketeer in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1954, King shot and killed a man attempting to rob one of his gambling houses; the death was ruled a "justifiable homicide," despite the fact that King had shot him in the back.
King was convicted of stomping to death an employee who owed him six hundred dollars. Although he then embarked on a campaign of hush money payments and witness intimidation, he was convicted of second degree murder and given a life sentence, the judge reduced the conviction to non-negligent manslaughter.
Some found this ruling suspicious, as it was made during a private meeting with King's attorney in the judge's chambers, without the presence of the prosecutor or a court stenographer.
I wonder if Teddy's nightmares ever stop.
I certainly hope not. He's earned them.
What galls me about Teddy Kennedy is that he DEMANDS questions be answered by honorable people like Judge Roberts. Is Teddy on the Judicial Committee? If so, and he asks Judge Roberts some moral question, I just wish and I know I'm dreaming, that Judge Roberts would reply "Sir, I refuse to answer that question because your background as a drunk who left a young woman to drown just does not warrant a reply". Judge Roberts might not be elected to the US Supreme Court, but then he could run for President in 2008 and probably be elected. Kennedy is a disgrace to the American people!
