I express my condolences to the Kennedy family ...

There's not many left and those who are have leached themselves onto government. They're just the gift that keeps on giving.

Yes, that’s why we need to keep the tube turned off. The American people though truly believe in EMK thought they would not seriously consider his for president, hedging their bets, so to speak.

That works in most social situations...remaining silent when you can’t say anything nice about someone. But Kennedy was a high ranking politician who affected the lives of every single American citizen, and not for the good. If we’re not honest about his record, we might as well throw in the towel. But okay, I won’t say another word until after he’s buried.

The people of MA disagree: they worship EMK and will for eons. Long after John and Samuel Adams are forgotten, EMK will be remembered.

FINALLY! The memory of this jerk, who did more in the Senate to screw over the USA than just about anyone else, deserves the dignity and respect rotted dog feces.

The USA is already a much better place now that loser is GONE GONE GONE.

The Kennedy family was America’s cancer. I don’t wish anyone ill, but this man was a murderer and did his best to wreck this country. I have a pretty good idea where he is right now...

About time.Maybe his crap for brains son will go completely to pieces now and get booted from the House.One can only hope.Kennedy should have been prosecuted for negligent homicide and had his career ended decades ago.
I can’t say anything good about him and I’m not about to mourn the passing of this degenerate.

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

Too bad he couldn't take a few close friends with him on his trip. Chances are he'll be buried with a fifth of Cutty Sark in his pocket for fortification....he'll need it.

Here's Ted's eulogy:

Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected.

They need to erect a Windfarm in his honor, in view of his bedroom window. Or name a bridge after him.

Mary Jo was Teddy's victim.

Marilyn Monroe was a joint effort on the part of Bobby and Jack.

What is going to be interesting is to see how the talk show folks like Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Savage (if he’s still around) and the rest will comment on this...

It would be very telling...

To say something gushing with disengenuous accolades, or to be even semi-critical of his term in office, is just plain dumb...

But on the other hand if we say things that are extremely critical and apparently cruel, with no respect for the dead, those might be viewed as insensitive and just plain mean...

I see this as a lose lose proposition...

Therefore my last post was to illustrate the absurd by being absurd and not say anything pro or con...

Just put in a couple of “.” and let it go...
