Kennedy's Daughter Accepts His Medal Of Freedom

'Lion Of The Senate' Will Not Attend The D.C. Ceremony

Sen. Edward Kennedy was among 16 people scheduled to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama on Wednesday. The medal is the nation's highest civilian honor.

[Jean S]

You can kill a young girl but the President will still give you the top civilian award. Sickening.

[Astronaut]

The Hero of Chappaquiddick gets a medal! Did he get a bottle of Chivas with it?

[Da Coyote]

That Obamahole deserves the finger of fate.

[halfright]

Did that come with the DUI murder endorsement?
Poor Maryjo.

[KoRn]

...And what did he do to deserve this?

He’s been a senator for a long time. If that’s the standard, why don’t the other old long serving senators get one?

The only thing this old fool has done that’s unique is kill a woman with his dammed car!

[the invisib1e hand]

What did Ms. Kopechne get?

[thethirddegree]

Obama has managed to taint even the country’s highest civilian award with murdering drunks, queers and who knows who else.

[C19fan]

If we listened to Ted Kennedy at the very least Eastern Europe would still be enslaved. In terms of the big issues from the 70s to today Kennedy has been on the wrong side.

[jackv]

Billie Jean King?? Harvey Milk?? Tutu??? Wow right up there with the great ones!

Sick.

[drypowder]

KARMA!! Teddy Kennedy will get his comeuppances in hell.

[Jean S]

What did Ms. Kopechne get?

A decent burial and many mourners, and a wonderful reception from God.

My school bus passed her parent's house in Berkley Heights, NJ every day on the way to h.s. Her sister was 2 years older than I was so I never knew her but the family moved away fairly quickly.

I was in NJ about 5 years ago, their house is no longer there.

[the invisib1e hand]

Did her family ever push the issue? Were they paid off (hate to suggest it, but I honestly don’t know)?

[org.whodat]

Tick, tick, tick!!!

[Slump Tester]

He should get a medal for “longest floater” or “distance swimmer”.

[Jean S]

I was young when it happened, around 16. The rumors in our town was yes, they were paid off. Again, just rumors, but they had a small cape cod house and moved out of out town rather quickly.

[org.whodat]

Did her family ever push the issue? Were they paid off (hate to suggest it, but I honestly don’t know)?

Of course they were paid and as part of the agreement agreed to keep their mouths closed.

[rdl6989]

KARMA!! Teddy Kennedy will get his comeuppances in hell.

The clock is ticking.

[Slump Tester]

My buddy has a bumper sticker that says “Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile has killed more people than my guns”

[A message]

That’s all right Teddy can get all the medals he wants here on earth but he is still spending eternity in hell.

[the invisib1e hand]

leaves me with a creepy feeling.

As does pretty much everything in the headlines of late.

Our leaders are mad. Just plain mad.

[rlmorel]

I find it ironic that he gives the award to Steven Hawking.

[kingattax]

[Ben Reyes]

That’s nothing. It took me several hours to report the accident, and he, literally, got away with murder. That deserves a medal of freedom (scot-free?)

[randog]

Did he get a bottle of Chivas with it?

He couldn't find the pawn shop.

[presently no screen name]

Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama

That's rich - a medal of 'freedom' coming from BO who is hell bent on taking away our freedom.

top civilian award

Did Kennedy retire?

[50cal Smokepole]

So is Russia going to give the Cape Cod Orca a medal too? According to that KGB guy, ol’ Teddy (hic!) was quite the tovarisch. A shameful president handing out ‘honor’ to those that have none.
Yeah, it figures.

[glock rocks]

There was a time when the Nobel Prize actually meant something too.

Oh well.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Bowing to a king

“The highest civilian honor” to a murderer and tyrant

Some “unifier” Some “leader” Some role model

[bfree]

Sounds like he will be there soon! Murderer.

[glock rocks]

I sure wouldn’t want to be a mod when the swimmer finally takes that last oldsmobile dive.

[Loud Mime]

Medal of Freeswim

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Did he get a bottle of Chivas with it?”

If not he got screwed ;-)

[synbad600]

He didn’t kill her w/ his car, he killed her w/ his apathy and sense of entitlement.

[Iron Munro]

Too bad for the truly significant and respected recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, like Stephen Hawking, that Komrade Obama has determined to turn it into just another leftist perk for the politically correct, the socialists and the Hate-America crowd.

He devalues it by awarding it to his fellow travellers like Mary Robinson and Ted Kennedy.

Might as well give them an Oscar or a Pulitzer Prize.

[NonValueAdded]

Mary Jo couldn’t be reached to accept it on his behalf. She could have used a little freedom once upon a time but Ted chose not to find it for her. This is an outrage.

[TRY ONE]

June 1969 ——

Mary Jo: “But Teddy, I think I’m pregnant!”

Teddy: “Mary Jo, We’ll cross that bridge when we get there!”

Later, Chappaquiddick Island: July 18, 1969

[NonValueAdded]

indeed 3 points for that post

[Blogatron]

I can show him where to stick it, too.

[Severa]

My buddy has a bumper sticker that says “Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile has killed more people than my guns”

That ranks up there with the bumper sticker I saw on a truck a while back that read "I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy"

[Captain Peter Blood]

What a way to cheapen a great honor by giving it to a despicable human like Ted Kennedy.
I would love to know what this Ass has told his priest at confessional.
Probably lies to him like he has everyone else.
Well I hope Ted resides in Purgatory for all Eternity for sins so many they are incalculable.

[Lloyd227]

Just my humble opinion of course, but Ted Kennedy is one evil bastard who should die in shame wallowing in his own excrement.

[brytlea]

These medals mean nothing, they are political. We should do away with all medals given by the US govt except for war decorations. Let some civilian groups give out whatever they want, but these are a waste of taxpayer money and time.

[taillightchaser]

I’ve always thought that one of President Bush’s mistakes was not giving the award to Rush Limbaugh. Now that I’ve seen how it’s been trashed by obammy, I’m sure Rush is glad he didn’t get it.

""I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy" "

I have that one as the desktop image on my corporate laptop at work. Raised more than a few eyebrows and caused a few chuckles at meetings I'm hosting :-)

[Vaquero]

only successful swimmers should get medals...not failures.

[steveo]

Freedom from Prison

[taillightchaser]

Sorry for the double post. My infernal machine is acting weird.

[Darksheare]

He got the medal due to his advancement in ‘death counseling’ as well as ‘midnight swimming’.

[BatGuano]

He's no lion, he's a LIAR!

When he goes (soon), I'll tick off one more reprobate gone from that horrible family.

Does anyone wonder what Kennedy thinks when he sees a young woman in her late 20’s living her life in happiness?

He abandoned a young woman to die in his MOTHER'S OLDSMOBILE and got away with it.

The American people have paid for his crime and Massachusetts should be vilified for electing that rotten bastard again and again.
