Normally, when an obituary thread is posted on FR, I reserve comment if I dislike the guy or gal. Respect for the dead, you know?
Not so when Ted Kennedy died. I celebrated; I danced; I twirled; I laughed. I had a GREAT day that day! I wish Ted Kennedy would die EVERY day. It was a wonderful day of pure joy.
Ted Kennedy was a straight-out Soviet-collaborating traitor to America. The thought he did not die in prison is tragic.
Even if one discounts his treasonous behavior, anyone but a Kennedy would have spent time behind bars for the negligent (at best) homicide of Mary Jo Kopechne.
