The death of Sen. Edward Kennedy quickly became a rallying cry for Congress to pass health care overhaul legislation.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

So, let me get this straight...
- a man who, due to personal wealth that he never worked a day to earn, was able to go to the best doctors in the world to treat his terminal cancer, the type of care that would never be covered by a government run health care plan, dies...
- and THAT is the reason to shove through a piece of legislation that wouldn’t provide the same care to people who work for a living, and would probably deny treatment due to the terminal nature of said cancer, under which the very Members of Congress would not apply.
Yup, that makes perfect sense in DC!
(On another note, this is the type of story that begs for the creation of an irony or sarcasm font.)
I think the deal is CNN bought some kind of concession at airports. I hate it too.
Only thing is that I have noticed few people watch it. They are entertaining their kids or reading or something.
I wish somebody could change the situation but I don’tknow that much about it.
More like “Weekend at Bernies”.
Except Teddy was an Old Wide-in-the-Middle White boor...

LMAO! excellent. Sent this to Pelosi. But use IF instead of "once".
Post of the day .
My sentiments exactly.
Kennedy loved the Soviet union..

BARF... Here we go: Byrd wants health bill renamed for Kennedy
"In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American," Byrd said.
Thanks, MaestroLC, for providing that link and quote above.
Teddy just died a little too soon on them...or else someone [Rahm?] didn't get a [Faux Teddy]letter out there soon enough to overturn the law [back like it was].
“FRIG EM ALL” Don’t let the passing of this SOB influence a vote for Deathcare in any way !
“DO IT FOR PAUL!” (here we go again)
will there be a political rally at the Kennedy funeral like the Wellstone one?
****However, you can FULLY EXPECT for the Democrats to prop up his corpse and prostitute Kennedy’s name for every Liberal cause they can think of.****
LOL, Weekend At Teddys...
Maybe Byrd will go away now too?
Byrd is a Bad Dream that appears to never End! Only an EX-KKK Supreme Bigot can become a National Leader of the DEMOCRAP RACIST PARTY! and be One of their Hero’s just as LURCH KERRY Proudly stands Honored in the HANOI WAR HERO HALL OF FAME! and the POS and all of his friends are Proud that LURCH is Honored as a Supreme Traitor by the North Vietnamese Communists and Mass Murderers!
May GOD SAVE OUR PROUD AMERICA!!
Now that’s funny!!!
Kennedy’s medical bills should be public record, right?
They should call it the Mary Jo Kopechne Act.
Because they’re driving all the rest of us off a bridge while they swim to the safety of better health care outside of the government system.
Wow... good one!
