...will always be Ted Kennedy's legacy

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The two sons of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy strode into the lobby of the Omni hotel on Tuesday morning and were besieged by delegates, reporters, and well-wishers. Photos were taken, sound bites recorded, and a flurry of handshakes exchanged.
“It’s like he’s still in Congress,” Ted Jr. quipped as he waited for his brother, Patrick, a former US representative from Rhode Island.
The sons arrived in Charlotte for an afternoon reception for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which is being built at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and to attend a video tribute to their father later Tuesday during the opening night of the Democratic National Convention. Joseph Kennedy III, candidate for Congress form Massachusetts, will introduce the video.
The video, in part, would replay some of Kennedy’s debate performance against Mitt Romney in their 1994 Senate race, and resurrect issues -- economic and social -- that characterized Democratic differences with Romney both then and now.

Fantastic impersonation!
I agree... it was a rhetorical question... ted kennedy had every vice in the book and a few that are not in the book. You brought up a large one.

It doesn’t say much for the Catholic church that whenever a Kennedy wanted a divorce they simply got the church to give them an annulment.
Give em them time, they’re at a party and Patches likes the nose candy

Do murderers have legacies?
Another part of Teddy's 'legacy'
The Legacy of the 1965 Immigration Act
Senate immigration subcommittee chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA.) reassured his colleagues and the nation with the following:
"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia ... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think."
Rot in hell you SOB!
“. . . will they ever go away?” - I was thinking the same thing today while clicking past the Democrat/MSM lovefest Freak Show and happening to catch a glimpse of Carter, then later “Teddy” and Caroline and Teddy’s videos endorsing Obama in 2008. I thought, “will they ever just go away?” Then I realized . . yes, eventually.
ted kennedy was a marxist and a murderer. obstructer of justice. a drunk, a philanderer and a liar. a narcissist.
unfaithful to his wife and unfaithful to his country.
if i would have did what he did, i would still be rotting in prison.
did i miss anything?
blessings, bobo
on fox special report, Bret asked dick durban why Obama didn’t pass everything while he had both houses.
Durban said they couldn’t because teddy Kennedy was sick and couldn’t make it to the floor to vote. He blamed Kennedy...... he blamed a dead man
...will always be Ted Kennedy's legacy
damn right...
The Democrats are out of their nut running Kennedy stuff.
Most yout' don't know who he was nor do they care. The elderly Democrats have their TVs on but they don't know what's being said.
Don't they have anyone who's relevant anymore?
“I thought, “will they ever just go away?” Then I realized . . yes, eventually.”

The problem is,I’ll be gone too. I’m from MA and have been putting up with them my entire adult life.
((Sigh!))
.
They should have invited Orrin G. Hatch to speak after the Kennedy sons. That would have thrilled the delegates.
Not the legacy for the MA people; so if MA can overlook Kopechne, why can’t MO overlook “legitimate rape”?
Bobo1 has his view, but the people of corrupt MA win with a Kennedy!
