I just about fell out of my seat reading this. To be praised by your enemies is truly a sign of greatness.

Remarkable

[doug from upland]

President Bush has been more than gracious to the Drunken Lifeguard. Unfortunately, he has returned the kindness with vitriol.

[oyez]

Ted Kennedy didn't like communism, because they wouldn't be any private property to tax.

[goldstategop]

Exactly. Has Uncle Ted taken leave of his senses? The clowns on DU have just witnessed their world turn upside down. Yahoo!!!

Kerry on Reagan

[plain talk]

Well I'm stunned. That's an excellent comment by Kennedy. Of course after the funeral he could always crawfish and say that Reagan will be remembered for having won the cold war but that he (Kennedy) doesn't believe he (Reagan) was responsible for winning it. After Clinton we have to parse words carefully.

[tbeatty]

What would have been awesome (assuming it had to happen at all) is if all this happened in the week of the DNC convention and we could have watched the Reagan praising live on TV.

[txhurl]

I must protest seeing Kennedy and Reagan in the same thread as I protest seeing Clinton and Reagan in the same thread.

[wagglebee]

I'm guessing Teddy had to be more than a little drunk to say this.

[mabelkitty]

I have to say I was floored by this, as well.

Same here... I'm speechless.

"On foreign policy he will be honored as the president who won the Cold War

I.e., a grudging acknowledgement that some will say that, not an assertion that it's true, or even good.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

For the U-Boat commander to issue such a statement........

The RATS and especially their bottom of the barrel scum at DU must be reeling.

[nutmeg]

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass: "On foreign policy he will be honored as the president who won the Cold War, and his 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall' will be linked forever with President Kennedy's 'Ich bin ein Berliner.' President Reagan and Nancy were always very gracious to the Kennedy family and they are both very much in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time."

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[Revolting cat!]

It's easy to fool them, isn't it? All it takes is some boilerplate statement after somebody dies and can't oppose their insanity. Next thing you know the born again admirers here will be voting for the fat drunk!

[Jorge]

Amazing. The only explanation I have for this is that perhaps Teddy thinks his time is near, and hopes his own end will be noted with half the love and praise Reagan has earned.

[steveegg]

What's even more pleasantly shocking are the statements from Daschle and Pelosi.

I looked out my window and there they were...............

President Reagan in his final hours and then upon his passing Got that Murder OJ slimpson off the topic of discussion in the media since his interview with that low life Katie Couric
