‘The Cause of My Life’ [Ted Kennedy Explains]

Newsweek ^ | July 18th 2009

[Steelfish]

EXCERPT

"It is a key reason that I defied my illness last summer to speak at the Democratic convention in Denver—to support Barack Obama, but also to make sure, as I said, "that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American…will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not just a privilege."

What a POS

[Nervous Tick]

Teddy Kennedy is a worthless piece of shyster.

Fortunately for the rest of us, he is not long for this world.

Stop your BS, Teddy. Get right with God before it’s too late.

[beethovenfan]

So Birch Bayh ultimately cost Mary Jo her life.

[raccoonradio]

“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age...”

—Charles Pierce, Boston Globe

[wastedyears]

Go away and never show your ugly face again, you murdering fat pig.

[freedumb2003]

>>will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not just a privilege<<

“Except for Mary Jo who deserved no care at all and of course I, having the kenndey name, deserving escape from my actions as a privilege.”

[basil]

Although he's more special than the rest of us, under this Universal Health care, if he were an ordinary citizen, he wouldn't be getting any care for his cancer or anything else.

He's the ultimate "Let them eat cake" a-hole!

[CMailBag]

That’s the same line of crap he was spouting the last time he “FIXED” health care...............with HMOs.................30 years ago.

[SpaceBar]

Yuri Bezmenov, defected KGB agent detailed a visit Ted Kennedy and his entourage made to the Soviet Union. He said Kennedy et al were swimming in the booze from the time they arrived in Moscow until the time they left, and he described Kennedy in particular as a narrow minded egocentric idiot.

[goodnesswins]

The anniversary of Mary Jo’s death is TODAY.....how ironic.

[shankbear]

When this addled old boozer finally dies it would be rather easy for them to cremate him. The percentage of ethanol in his cells would be an excellent fuel. They need to start discussing assisted suicide with him NOW...STAT....Pronto.

[Cowboy Bob]

To prevent paralysis, I was strapped into a special bed that immobilizes a patient between two canvas slings. Nurses would regularly turn me over so my lungs didn't fill with fluid. I knew the care was expensive, but I didn't have to worry about that. I needed the care and I got it.

Under Socialized Healthcare, Kennedy would never have received this treatment.

[goodnesswins]

NO....KENNEDY would GET this care....you and I would NOT.

[aShepard]

...................Birch Bayh, risked his life to pull me from the wreckage.......................

Teddie, you should have learned from Bayh. You don’t leave the scene of an accident; you try to extracate her before the car floods in the five feet of water in the thirty foot wide stream. You POS!

[The Wizard]

no one cares Teddy....no one....

[indyhome]

I have Tricare for Life and would not even be able to afford a third the medical care Ted (I cannot drive over a bridge) Kennedy has been given.

[InvisibleChurch]

no, that’s not right

[JCG]

Sorry, Teddy, no brain transplants available just yet.

We have Barry Goldwater's in a jar and if we can figger out how -- we'll fix ya up!

Send treats to the troops...
Great because you did it!

In 1964, I was flying with several companions to the Massachusetts Democratic Convention when our small plane crashed and burned short of the runway. My friend and colleague in the Senate, Birch Bayh, risked his life to pull me from the wreckage.

Fourty years ago today, Ted FAILED to pull Mary Jo from his car ....
