I was trying to make a joke - apparently not a very good one.

Nothing like a good Airplane! reference to liven up a thread.

“We know Bird and Kennedy have dark pasts - this is not the day to dwell on it.”

I agree - we should not dwell on or underscore Ted Kennedy’s involvement in the death of an innocent young woman, nor his getting kicked out of college for cheating, and his anti-American policies should also remain unmentioned.

As for Byrd, You are again correct that his Klan past and his infamous pork-barreling should likewise remain unspoken facts.

So thank you for pointing out in a dignified manner that the potential demise of these two questionable and dishonorable characters should lead us to give a pass to the previous acts committed by those corroded souls.

My Grandaddy used to tell a story about a man who got yelled at for holding a door for a woman. The woman shouted that he didn’t have to hold the door because she was a lady.

The man said he didn’t know whether she was a lady or not - he held the door because he was a gentleman.

“The man said he didn’t know whether she was a lady or not - he held the door because he was a gentleman.”

Your granddaddy was a gentleman, You may be, too, though patting yourself on the back for being a gentleman generally negates that.

As for me, I am going to go on not mentioning Ted Kennedy’s cowardly acts in not attempting to save a drowning girl from his own irresponsibility, because, given his present health problems, it would be, as you say, ungentlemanly to mention them.

I will also not mention that upon seeing Kennedy’s health troubles, Sen. Byrd on cue, had his own episode, as if wanting to be prepared sneak by the pearly gates while St. Peter is occupied with the lengthy list of Kennedy transgressions.

It would be positively bad form to mention those things, and I certainly wouldn’t want to have my gentlemanly honor questioned by anyone......certainly not anyone on the internet.

Lots of those racists dems turned on a dime in the 60's and 70's - I suspect many of them stayed closet racists...

Manchin would qualify as a Blue Dog Democrat. Fiscal conservative, pro gun, but pro choice

I believe he has publicly taken a pro-life stance....but he really doesn't push it too hard. He lets the pro-aborts in the state legislature take the heat for not getting pro life legislation passed.

To be serious for a moment, I don’t think we will see another generation of Gentlemen like his.

When Kennedy passes away, will Paris Hilton be available to take his seat in the Senate?

Caroline will do double duty. After all, she's a Kennedy. Only fair she takes both Edward's and Hillary!'s seats.

Or is she a Schlossburg? My, my. This is a confusing mess.

Quite possible — he has not preached a doctrine of pro choice during his campaigns, but he has not fought against choice.

"Robert Byrd Rushed Out of Statuary Hall"

And then the ambulance attendants realized they'd mistakenly carried out the statue of William Jennings Bryan, and had to return to the Hall for Senator Byrd.
