Senator Kennedy experiences the sensation of drowning.

Senator Kennedy experiences the sensation of suffocation.

My late father used to say, with every new Kennedy Family outrage, scandal, etc.;

“If it were you or I, we’d put a brown paper bag over our heads and skink away, but the Kennedys are so G.D. arrogant, it is IMPOSSIBLE to shame them!”

and of the Senator in particular (regarding Chappaquiddick):

“If that were you or me, we would have spent the last 40 years in Leavenworth, not the Senate.”

amen, Dad. Well said!

My best guess is that Kennedy thanked the Pope for Boston’s TWO-in-a-ROW Cardinals.

As in:

“Your Holiness:

Although the appointments pre-dated your pontificate, I would like to thank the Holy See, on behalf of all my fellow pro-abortion CATHOLIC politicians in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for having sent us two Cardinal Archbishops of Boston who have not had the .... uh .... spine to confront any of us on our arrogant and complete repudiation of Catholic teaching or our continued parading of our Catholicism in public! As Mary Jo used to say, ‘Thanks for the free ride!’l

Ted Kennedy, D-Chappaquiddick

I don’t care how many letters he sends to the Pope … it is personal relationship with Jesus that will determine his ultimate fate.

You are forgetting God The Father, and The Holy Ghost.

No, Pope Benedict gave him the recent encyclical, Caritas in Veritate and another piece that the Pope wrote as a Cardinal on personal dignity. (Life issues)

They weren’t flyers.

I did not refer to them as flyers, but rather "flyers". The difference being what -7bama thinks of the encyclical. He joked, according to the press reports, that he now had reading material for the flight back on AF1. Implication being to me that -7bama viewed the encyclical as basically john material, to be tossed upon exiting the aircraft on arrival.

Considering they are one and the same, I find nothing wrong with my statement. ;-)

Lets get a little serious.

If Kennedy repents then its a good thing. He has done a lot of crummy things in his life, and God is going to want answers. If Kennedy decided to take the steps on the realization that his life is over, then he was given a great gift by God in the contracting cancer.

Many wicked men are killed suddenly, with no time to prepare to die. Few get a chance to deliver a letter to the Pope. Maybe real help, the kind that you and I pray for is on his way.

We can all agree that Kennedy could come to terms and repent without anyone else knowing but Christ. My point is that this man who publicly flaunted the Church for years is going to answer for thing she has done. Maybe he now realizes that.

We Christians (I mean that across the board) are members of the only Army in the world that shoots the wounded.

LOL!

"Clear the table, Waitress!"
Swimmer to Pope: "Can you give some pointers,
On That Walking on Water" Thingee...like Zer0bamba.

Kennedy should be asking for forgiveness for championing the murder of unborn children.
