Media Hero Award (Kennedy ?!)
Media Research Center ^ | 12/30/2004 | Brent Bozell

Media Hero Award

"The best reaction shots were those of Ted Kennedy, whose stature seems to grow right along with his nose year after year after year. Kennedy has now reached a grand moment in the life of a Senator; he looks like Hollywood itself cast him in the role. Seriously....Kennedy looked great, like he was ready to take his place next to Jefferson on Mount Rushmore. He gives off the kind of venerable vibes that some of us got from an Everett Dirksen way back when." -- Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales in a January 21 Style section review of the State of the Union address. [69 points]

Kennedy is a waddling poster for gluttony...one of the 7 deadly sins.

Ted Kennedy is a disgraceful excuse for a human being. He is also probably the only siting US Senator who is personally responsible for the wrongful death of another. He is disrespectful of his office, his president and his country.
If I could, I would place him on Mount Rushmore myself hoping that he would freeze to death, slowly.

Folks we need a picture of his heinous as the 'Image of the Democrats'. Please, no doctored images.

I need some for future references.

They like him because he fills the entire screen. They use his red nose to run camera color checks. And it always makes good copy when a bunch of environmentalists get together and try to pull him off the beach and back into the water.
He will probably get a life time achievement award from the Martha's Vineyard Life Guard Association.

Kennedy manages to wear a perpetual mean look on his face. If he does smile (which is rare) he manages to look like the Grinch that stole Christmas - it is a malicious smile that implies he managed to use his power to hurt someone else. Why would anyone want this on Mt. Rushmore?

Teddy and Mikey Moore could pass for twins.

Does he carry around the orange cones with him? I figured it must be some sort of traffic thing, he might be trying to back up.

Great humor always carries with it a grain of truth.

Semper Fi!

The booze hasn't been very good to Ted, has it? It's fairly well known that he lost all his grey matter years ago, and is entirely scripted by his staff.

Common folks, I need a picture of him with his big mouth open.
