No one seemed to have written a proper eulogy for Teddy Kennedy. Here's my effort.

“Ted Kennedy in his speeches often spoke glowingly of integrity in public office”.....

The only thing glowing was his red nose.......

Good Job.

If Teddy's replacement is a Liberal Democrat, I pray that:

1) He would be more committed than Ezekiel Emmanuel on Death Panels and be utterly vocal about it (to the Nth degree) so that the Dems have to shut him up.

2) That he would insist Seniors be denied care for multiple bypass, hip or joint replacements, just as the Presidents Adviser is. That He agree that the SSA was Right in denying COLAs for the next few years to Save Social Security for ONLY young people. Till Seniors Revolt!

3) That He would Trumpeted that American Roofs, Furnaces, Air Conditioner(s) and Hot Water Heaters MUST BE BROUGH UP TO CURRENT GREEN CODES BEFORE HOME SALES - JUST AS IS IN CAP AND TRADE. May they have to shut him up on it as well.

In other words, My prayers are that the Dems be Dems, just as is in their plank and the leaders - TO THE NTh Degree without any self-control.

Always a good job!

Nicely done. Although I still think the most fitting legacy to Kennedy in the Senate would be to put Cutty Sark on tap in the Senate dining room.

The proper candidate must be a scrupulously honest, dedicated, committed, successful in the real world, and now justifiably seeking promotion to the Senate. The candidate must support the Constitution, support term limits, support public integrity for all. Not just for people in the opposition party.

When ya filing, my FRiend? ;-]

Something has been lost in the politics of today.

The people’s will has been subverted by the Incumbent Party... and those very interests that back them to the hilt.

[Sarajevo]

Excellent and fitting!

SNIP - - Roosevelt started late in his 1912 campaign. Still, he buried the sitting Republican President, William Howard Taft. At the end, that race was between the challenger, Roosevelt, and the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson. With much more time to organize, raise funds, and run, the fitting legacy for Teddy Kennedy would be the defeat of both the Republican and Democrat candidates for his seat, by someone who believes in, and will carry out, the ideas that Teddy verbally supported for decade after decade after decade.

Try again when your are sober.

i’m driving to Springfield as soon as there is a headquarters to drive to .... keep your expectations low as far as the GOP candidate is concerned.

(Fact is, there are droves of DEM operatives who are dying to take a swat at Joe Kennedy in the primary ... there is plenty of anti-Kennedy resentment even on the DEM side.)
