The brown stuff that falls out of a cow's a$$ has far more value than the Senior Gasbag from MA.

I bet we can not possibly name all of the putrid, vile, excrements that have more value...I have to add all those in Mass. that keep electing mere Monkey SNot to office as well..

How lucky can you get? I'd rather be hammered by the tides than driven home by Mr. Chapaquidick.

Dems get credit for "trying"?

Kennedy didn't save anyone - he didn't do crap. But he'll get credit.

The MSM is showing their total desperation to help dems. Maybe Hollywood can make a movie of the famous almost rescue by a (the sound of trumpets in the background) a,a, Kennedy.

A real live wonderful, time of Camelot, KENNEDY. A hero. A person who lives in a compound and plays touch football and dates starlets named Marylyn - Oh God, it's a KENNEDY.

And with that the MSM sighs, and lights a cigarette...

Well, at least Teddy helped this time!

***

Article says he tried and failed. So I don't think he helped all that much.

Too bad they couldn't at least use him as a floation device. LOL

Kennedy and a friend tried to rescue the men using a 13-foot boat but rough waters forced them back. A crew from the Hyannis Fire Department picked them up

What is it with the Kennedys and water?

I love what Rush said on this. "The men, knowing the history of Kennedy and water, bravely fought him off"

If they had read the book they would know that The Great White Whale was actually attacking the fishermen.

Wow! Teddy boosts his 'aborted rescues' record to 6-1. Before today he was at a dismal 0-1.

By the way, he is sporting the new "implanted flotation device" (IFD) recently approved by the FDA.
