Why Ted Kennedy Was the Last of His Kind
The Atlantic ^ | August 2009 issue | Ronald Brownstein

Posted on 03/09/2024 11:28:59 AM PST by DallasBiff

Edward M. Kennedy was romantically described as the last lion, but it might be more accurate to think of him as a river. Especially earlier in his long career, he could be tumultuous and overflow his banks, both politically and in his personal life. But mostly he was steady, forceful, and above all persistent. Particularly in the three decades after his failed 1980 presidential bid

Teddy and LBJ were on a mission to destroy "peak America" of the early 60's.

Hey it's saturday, mods pull if inapropriate.

They did. They removed Christianity as the de facto religion of the USA and replaced it with “Diversity” and “multiculturalism” and open borders so they could eliminate their fellow Americans with hordes of foreign peoples and non-Christians.

Teddy occupied the stage for a long time. However, most young socialists don’t know who he is and don’t care. Thirty more years he’ll be entirely forgotten other than perhaps his drive off a bridge. Ecclesiastes is correct about the vanity of fame.

This fat, alcoholic loser would’ve worked in a Jiffy Lube were it not for his father and brothers. He did so much damage to the country. I’ll definitely piss on his grave if I ever get the opportunity.

Last of his kind? How’s that? There’s plenty of old perverts and criminals in the RAT party to take his place. Joe Biden being one.

He should have been buried upside down in an Oldsmobile. Relatively speaking, John and Robert were far better men.

When JFK was assassinated, Bobby told Teddy to stay in Washington out of the way while he handled things...

Please don’t demean legitimate folks that work at Jiffy Lube. I would not want this loser anywhere near my oil, filter and drain plug.

Actually, I think he was the last of his kind.

I mean what other married US Senator has driven a car into the water with a woman inside that car with them that wasn’t his wife and let the woman drown while he escaped and didn’t report it till the next day?

I don’t know of any since Kennedy did.

Teddy would go to bed early if his bed had a hole in it. Take all Trump is accused of, raise that to the 12th power, and you have a small percentage of the woman defacing done by that fat-assed POS little Kene-turd. Typical Atlantic. Their only standard is the double one.

Ted Kennedy was a lifelong example of the worst human qualities. He was, pure and simple, trash. And it showed.

He and his ilk damaged America horrendously, possibly beyond repair at this point.

Yes. And when it comes to being involved in the mysterious death of a young woman, we have Joe Scarborough.

And now a hat tip to Bill Clinton. At least Monica Lewinsky is still alive.

Because since his demise, nobody has ever been able to drink that much?

There are just as rotten people all over the the political landscape. He was by no means the last of scum to walk the earth.
