It was so thoughtful for much of the news media to use the death of Ted Kennedy to promote Obamacare. Nothing is more respectful to the dead than to use the end of their life as propaganda to push for leftist policies. It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad that cable news shows spent the middle part of this week talking about the life and death of Ted Kennedy and then segueing into saying the best way to honor him is to do whatever it takes to serve up government-run healthcare.
Not surprisingly, the worst perpetrator of this exploitation of the dead came from Keith Olbermann. On Wednesday, August 26, he devoted about five minutes to looking back on Kennedy’s life and then spent much of the rest of the show using the senator's death to promote Obama and Pelosi’s health care reform. He talked about how Obama “promised Ted” that he would pass the reform before the year was out.
Olbermann questioned Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (the only openly socialist US Senator) asking him if Kennedy’s death could be used to convince all those darned Blue Dog Democrats to get on board. Sanders thought it was a great idea, and that ultimately all Democrats would come through and pass the health care legislation with no need of Republicans.

Isn’t he Saddam’s new boyfriend?
I would bet that he would rather have 72 virgins.
I think Teddy is beggin for a cold scotch on the rocks about now.
One can only hope that he is dodging pitchforks.
“Isn’t he Saddam’s new boyfriend”?
...LOL
and a box fan.
He died, and left all of us to PAY HIS DEBTS...that he signed into law as Senator.
He was told to go see the government czar in charge of extinguishers.
It’s too easy to wish eternal Hellfire and Damnation on Teddy, my own spiritual ‘better side’ of myself hopes that he was reconciled to God through Jesus Christ before he breathed his last.
As for my own all-too-sinful human flesh?
I can’t help but smile at the prospect of Teddy-boy and Yuri Andropov getting together at Lucifer’s Cafe to argue about how it would have been ‘different’ if only Yuri had taken up Ted on his ‘generous offer’ to counter Reagan’s policies.
As for now, the cancer that ate up Teddy’s brain is nothing like the cancer he left behind that has been devouring our Republic, which has metastasized into a whole bunch of ugly tumors starting with the one in the Oval Office.
Teddy’s more concerned about Global Warming what with the sudden rise in temperature in his surroundings.
Retains water.
Inhibits weed growth.
Keeps soil temperatures from becoming too hot or too cold. Protects sloping ground from soil erosion.
Well Bob, I'm gonna have to go with D. Mulching, final answer?
All of the adulation and praise from a bunch of spiritually doomed temporary earth-dwellers will only serve to make his current plight more ironic.
Probably more concerned with finding ‘ice water’
Not Saddam’s new boyfriend, he’s Hitler’s footstool, who is Satan’s lackey...
I second that. Ted Kennedy was seductively evil. He convinced millions of people that killing unborn babies was not only acceptable behavior, but that it was a right. If that was not evil I don’t know what is.
The real question is: what were Teddy’s first words to Mary Jo.
My guess: “Gee, I thought you could hold your breath longer than that.”
Somehow I don't think Ted and Mary Jo wound up in the same place.
May God forgive my thoughts about that individual.
