The tears are as phony as “Mack Daddy the Zebra”.

The House of Rimmon would have been a more appropriate venue.

He’s crying that his $35,000 a week vacation was cut short by a day. He’ll probaly charge us for it.

Whether you agreed with the man’s politics or not, he was an elected public servant serving as Senator from his state for over 40 years. It’s not fitting or in the spirit of democracy to rejoice over the death of any elected official, especially on the day of his funeral.

Only God can know if the man found forgiveness for his sins. It is not for us to judge.

I wouldn't presume to know whether God forgave him or not. Above my paygrade.

But to whitewash his degenerate life and pretend he was anything other than a drunken reprobate and a disgrace to the very Senate you claim he "served" in is to cower and shrink from reality.

With all due respect, what inane platitudes!

The fact that he was kept in office for that length of time confers no honor on him; it only confers dishonor on the people who voted for him.

He was judged and properly disposed of by G-D the moment he stopped breathing. All we’re doing is providing a little accurate post judgement criticism.

You obviously hate him with a hatred that is near boundless. There is no response that can be made to those feelings.

No response from a Kennedy sycophant is expected or desired.

He should have died trying to save Mary Jo Kopechne instead of being the living minion of Satan for another forty years. There is blood on his hands and anyone who doesn't agree shares that blood.

And he got away with it too because he was a Kennedy.
