Since I’m assuming the shrine is simply a sample of his favorite beverage, all I can say is $38 million will buy a lot of scotch ... even the expensive stuff.

Let me try this again...

It sounds like a lot of money but you have realize this is like constructing an American "Lenin's Tomb".

$38 million for a shrine to a drunken man-slaughterer reprobate!

Back in the early 1970s there was an Olympic downhill skier turned fashion model named Suzy Chaffee. She was the star of a ChapStick add campaign where in every add she declared she was changing her name to Suzy ChapStick. Rumors which she denied had her romantically linked to Teddy Kennedy.

In about the first season of Saturday Night Live, a “Weekend Update” bit reported that she was dating Teddy Kennedy and changing her name to Suzy Chappaquiddick. This was back in the old days when people could still make fun of liberals.

Blowing 38 million on a Teddy shrine is the very definition of adding insult to injury.

******

Feed poor people? Can you imagine how many poor people $38,000,000 could feed?

Ted could not get a library, so he got the next best thing yo "honor" him.

Does this mean that other democrats like Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi will end up getting their own institute? Gross, I say.

I can see in my mind Kennedy right now being blasted in the Pit with flaming balls of fire being cast by the likes of Stalin, Lennin, and Marx shouting how dare you attempt to usurp our claim to fame.

There are no friends in the Pit as they each individually yet in unison with fists raised call out “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” yet and still pride and arrogance not yet diminished by the flames, they continue in pride their conscience seared by the fire until such a time as their wicked leader is cast into the Pit with them at which time the flames increase ten fold, then they will scream demands to God send us the tears of your martyrs and all your righteous ones to calm these ever burning flames, alas there can be no response as those tears have all been wiped away.

Of course I don’t know what hell is like nor will I ever; so I am left to imagine, but I would suggest that any human description would be inadequate, the fierceness of their demise is self inflicted, well deserved, unimaginable and eternal. (see tag)

Is there an exhibit on Kennedy's treasonous offer to work with Soviet leaders against his own country's Presidents (both Carter and Reagan)?
