Congressman Billybob
From what I’ve heard of him, he wasn’t so much a passionate speaker as he was an Angry, hate-filled spewer of lies.
EVERY time I hear him go off on a rant, it’s like a dog going crazy when he sees a squirrel. And reason and fact are totally abandoned once he snapped. You can just FEEL the spit flying.
Am I wrong?
No, of course it's not warranted. But neither was the level of attention given to Michael Jackson's death, or Farrah Fawcett's death, etc, etc. Remember, first and foremost, "the media" is a for-profit business. It may be hard to accept, especially when such coverage annoys the heck out of you, but coverage of such stories bumps up viewership and readership.
It's futile to point out that the focus of such attention is morally unworthy if the businesses are making more money with such saturation coverage.
Well, this is an interesting comment. On the one hand, how can an assassin be any more merciful than by using a single, high-powered rifle on an unsuspecting individual?
On the other hand, what would be a "merciful" way to assissinate someone? The Terri Schiavo approach?
Farrah WHO??? ...OH, you mean that WHITE chick who died the same day MICHAEL died.
funny, only NOW, AUGUST, do I see Farrah getting eulogized at the news stands. But again, now that the ‘lyin-lion’ has passed, she’ll be pushed away again.
“and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
And after he told Bork’s wife it was “nothing personal”, I hope Mrs. Bork told Chappakennedy to go bugger himself.
Cronkhite and Kennedy are renewing their acquaintance....in hell.
That, in a nation founded on class equality and coming from an ideology that supposedly worships egalitarianism, is anything but a compliment!
"He bore the unspeakable grief and overwhelming hopes of a nation."
He CAUSED unspeakable grief and ERODED the hopes of a nation with his self-serving, ineffective obstructionism.
Ted Kennedy may have been as asset to Cutty Sark, but he was no credit to the Senate.
Did anyone catch when Obama was greeting the Clintons? Hillary tried to get a kiss and Stupid ignored her - he was chatting up Bill.
Hillary sitting next to Bush. The only one at the Mass to fight for the unborn, is the one who is not a Catholic, Bush.
O/T my greatgrandparents put one of the stain-glass windows in the church.
Yesterday evening Sheperd Smith had the Kennedy Special on from the Kennedy Library. Needless to say I changed the channel. Once in a while I checked to see if it was still on. this morning he is hosting the funeral. I turned my TV off. I am so tired of the coverage. Also the coverage from the Kennedy Library reminded me of the President Reagan coverage at the Reagan library. I just wonder do the democrats ever have an original idea, or do they always copy others?
Actually. it is quite on topic - the sacrifices that all our ancestors made being wee-wee’d away at light speed.
Why would anyone remember this piece of human trash?
Thank you. I think about how the Kennedys probated Rose’s will in Florida, for a more favorable inheritance tax, and
deprived the people of MA those taxes. Now the City of Boston gets to pick up the tab for his funeral. Makes me sick.
Kennedy stood for everything the Democrats are. He lied, cheated on his wife, drank himself into oblivion and got away with murder. He legislated liberal law that should have been against his religion and kept a true constitutional scholar off the Supreme Court, single handedly. Democrats loved this guy. They will use him as a reason to pass Obamahealthcare, Kennedyhealthcare, and trample over his grave tomorrow. This in part from an Illinois blogger.
I heard a wonderful limerick today, effectively read with a thick Boston accent:
There, ah, once was a maaan from Mass
Lookin’ for a fresh piece of as*
He lucked out and found herh
But effed up and drowned herh
And the What Howse slipped out of his graaasp.
ROFLMAO!!!
