BOSTON President Barack Obama summoned today's quarrelsome political leaders to emulate the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in the pursuit of compromise on Monday, and said a new institute that bears the longtime Massachusetts senator's name can be as much an antidote to political cynicism as the man once was.
"What if we carried ourselves more like Ted Kennedy? What if we were to follow his example a little bit harder?" the president asked a crowd of family, former aides and political dignitaries of both parties under a tent in raw weather just outside the doors of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute....

when I need something to inspire me, I think, “Today is one more day Ted Kennedy has gone without taking a drink”. It always cheers me up.

There would be a lot of molested and dead women.
Is that what he means?
Treason?
What?
What a dope
“...Hes been sober for almost 6 years now...”
Not so. His will specifies that every week a gallon of Dewar’s is to be emptied over his Arlington grave. They put up a fence to keep the homeless out, the fumes are that strong.
The Swimmer is to this day costing the taxpayers money.
One criminal sings praise and admiration for another. (He can’t be that clueless, right?)
You are joking, right?
He should’ve worn the orange cone on his head.
Fat, drunk and evil is no way to go through life.
Seriously?!? sheesh...
An oligarch, a fat slob, a liar, a killer and a commie-rat-bassturd traitor. Yeah, that repulsive POS was a fine example of what’s wrong with the republic.
RIH, scumbag
Sheesh!! I’m gonna get banned for not attaching a satire warning!
Yes, it’s a joke. But the best jokes have a grain of truth, to wit;
1. Teddy Kennedy was a lush & Dewar’s his favorite poison.
2. There is a monastery in Germany where on the anniversary of the death of a local nobleman, the monks empty a cask of wine over his grave in token of his having willed half his estate to the monastery.
3. The poet Dylan Thomas was said to be such a drunk that long after his death locals joked that Scotch fumes continued to rise from his grave.
4. Kennedy’s grave is fenced & guarded to prevent vandalism.
Geez....!

My advice to you is drink heavily
“Waitress-sandwiches” for EVERYBODY!!!

The first page of comments switches between carping about Kennedy and carping about Obama. Many take a swipe at both. Only one comment out of 10 had anything good to say about either politician.
