My late Dad used to say, a guy could be the worst SOB in town, but suddenly, at his funeral, he is transformed into a saint, LOL.
Ted Kennedy was an enemy of the Republic, and as for all enemies of the Republic, foreign or domestic, I shed no tears for their demise.
Perfect! Your late Father made my point better than I did. Bless him.
And damn those who were a**holes in life and those who expect us living to spin/parse their lives into something positive just because they happened to die - WE ALL DIE. Frig them.
