Camelot? Wasn’t that really about Morgan le Fey, incest, murder, necromancy and baby killing?

As Crissy Matthews said...”BO is now a brother”. So, good news! Camelot isn’t dead!~sarc Also, isn’t that Came-alot?!

You know, I always thought the “Camelot” moniker suited the Kennedy clan better at the end, rather than the beginning. Think about it - Camelot held shining examples of virtue, men selflessly committed to a noble ideals, ending in endemic decay and corruption, perversion of those ideals, and ultimate collapse. The Kennedy “Camelot” started out corrupt and ended corrupt, sustained by the by vice and selfishness rather than virtue and selflessness, ending only when grudgingly acceding to the demands of mortality. Good riddance to all of them.

Any bets as to whether or not Teddy was really the one who bought the space above Marilyn? After all, he was the only Kennedy brother who DIDN’T get to nail her.

"..Camelot was so powerful that even before Ted Kennedy's death, there were clumsy attempts to graft it onto our current president from Chicago. Invariably they'll try again.."

I don't think that will succeed with Obama.

"That line between history and drama for the Kennedys was never very thick, like the line between American realism and our yearning for royalty, and for comforting political myths."

I've always wondered if the idiots on the extreme left ever realized that Camelot was a mythical place that never truly existed? I think what I've despised the most about the Kennedy's over the years is the fact that too many people in this country wanted to treat them like American royalty.

The essense of America is that there is no royalty here. We strive to treat everyone the same. My fear is not the passing of the Camelot myth, but the passing of this myth. There are people in this country that are indeed treated differently because of who they are. Showcase example one would be Uncle Teddy...

Good Riddance!

There was never a Camelot. There is simply a fawning press in love with a name and a liberal ideology. The media at present is trying to hound Gov Sanford out of office for things Ted Kennedy did every Saturday. But its OK when a Democrat does it.

This whole Camelot stuff was nothing more than leftwing wet dreams

(Stolen from Treacher.)

If they want to talk about Camelot the we can talk about The Lady in the Lake.

Teddy has a lot more souls to account for than Mary Jo; just a few million of the unborn.

[CAD Daddy]

Oops. I guess someone already stole that.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Camelot ended? Not yet, they breed and they run for office on name only, and the ignorant serfs love them.

[RJS1950]

One can only hope that the myth is dead, but I doubt it.

[montag813]

Camelot, my ass. What do a bunch of spoiled brats descended from an Irish liquor and molasses smuggler have to do with a legendary English King?

[boomop1]

Camelot was a den of thieves and miscreants.

[VanDeKoik]

Camelot?

Everyone under 40 couldn’t care less about some crusty hippies circle-jerk over these hack posers from mASSachusetts.

[madprof98]

And if there is a Kennedy legacy, it's not his political philosophy so much as the bizarre American yearning for royalty and myth.

Exactly! The NYTimes today is effusive with praise for Ted's turn to the comforts of religion in his final days. You can almost see the angels coming down with a white chariot to sweep him up to the heavenly court. And they write it without he slightest trace of irony.
