I cannot rejoice in his death.

I too won't rejoice, but I'll not be a hypocrite. He was a despicable, moral degenerate and it's unfortunate that we'll be hearing him eulogized for eons, much like Michael Jackson.

Unfortunately scores of moral degenerates are to be found in the U. S. Congress.

He’ll be eulogized for days, weeks, (a la Michael Jackson), with no mention of the litter of destruction he left in his wake, lives ruined, women he abused, including his former wife. Not to mention Mary Jo Kopechne. I hope her family pops a bottle of champagne. (Already Obama operatives are attempting to prop up his falling numbers by linking him to Kennedy. Expect this to be the daily talking point for the MSM ad infinitum.) They’ll name the Obama healthcare bill...Kennedy Healthcare! A fitting memorial. And those opposing it will be racist and worse.

I forgot to mention that Kennedy never paid one red cent of IRS taxes, but felt no compunction about raising our taxes every time he put down the bottle.

Good bye, Ted. At least, in the end, you did something to help your country (you left it).

From the NY Times:

Mr. Kennedy, a disciplined liberal lawmaker with a sometimes-stormy personal life, knew triumph and tragedy during his decades near the center of American political history.

I don't know what a "disciplined liberal" is.

Mr. Kennedy, I really hope you made your peace with Christ before you passed away. God forgives all to those who seek Him.

We should find something positive to say...like “He was a good swimmer.”

Or “At least he had insurance...”

He has volumes to answer for, in addition to the Mary Jo senseless drowning.

The next few weeks will be a media orgy of worship. By the time they're through dozens of towns will have erected statues and schools throughout the land will have renamed themselves after him. No doubt some congresscritter will introduce a bill to make his birthday a national holiday and all three nightly news anchors will weep and vie with one another for who can produce the most tears on TV.

It will be beyond nauseating.

I express my condolences to the Kennedy family and all I can say is they are fortunate that he wasn’t on the Massachusetts’s public health care option otherwise he wouldn’t have even lived this long. Of course, being as wealthy as he was, I am sure he will have some change for Charon the Boatman so there is something else nice I can say. I am really trying here.

I pray that he was right with the Lord upon his death.

I don’t think Obama’s “vacation” is a real “vacation” — just another phase of the socialist public relations war. Yes, he will have to cut his “vacation” short because as EMK always aid, “the dream {of socialism} lives on.”

"Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He should have been in prison long ago for murdering Mary Jo Kopechne through his cowardice.

Personally, I’m glad the son of a bitch is dead.""

Well said FRiend
