Senator Ted Kennedy has died.

[Paleo Conservative]

Before the Mass. legislature got around to changing the method of replacing a vacant senate seat.

Did you forget the sarcasm tag?
Anyway, RIH Ted.

Does anyone find it odd that Obama chose to vacation in Kennedy’s neck of the woods at this time?

Why would you think that? Just because the rotund-teddedy was Obama's key early supporter? Or that Obama needing the votes in the Senate had a 24/7 feedback back from the K-clan on the state of his benefactor's health and probable date of demise.

Wasn't there a news tidbit that Obama would not visit Teddy during the vacation?

An isolated island where all in view of the One have their cell phones and cameras confiscated for the very first time, what could be better for all the secret patronage and fealty meetings that have already started?

You’re right, Camelot was made up. It was really the Kennedy Mystique. The following is an example.

“The bigger narrative of when Kennedy shuffles off this mortal coil is the end of “Camelot,” that idyllic image of John, Bobby, Teddy and the rest of Kennedy clan playing touch football at the family’s Hyannisport compound, of Jackie Kennedy’s perfect pillbox hats and little JFK Jr. saluting his father’s casket as it rolls by. This is the end of an era in American politics and history, despite how many of the next generation of the family are in public service. Ted Kennedy is the last tie to Camelot and has been the family’s patriarch for 40 years. The nostalgia for that “simpler time” will come back full force”.

The flip side is that of the “Kennedy Curse,” which we will probably be hearing much about in the near future, as well.

Must we act like slackers that live in Mom’s basement fantasizing about dating a real woman while working for minimum wage at Old Navy? We’re real adults here, and most of us have more class in our pinkie finger than the whole lot of them.
++++++++++++++++

Should we not speak the truth about this man’s myth, while the SRM blares lies for two weeks, and then tries to manipulate it for the ‘good of the country’ (HR3200)? There’s nothing unclassy about that, imho.

I pray peace for his family and Mary Jo’s family.

[roadcat]

Good riddance. May he rot in hell forever, especially in regards to what he did to Mary Jo. The world is a better place without him.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

After arriving at his final destination and being informed that alcohol is prohibited, Kennedy just figured out he didn’t get to ride the “up” elevator...

[TCats]

Well, this certainly will crimp Obama’s vacation. How inconvenient!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I wonder if Clinton will cry fake tears as he did at Ron Brown’s funeral.

May 14, 1983 document from the KGB archives reveals that Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) reached out to the General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party, Yuri Andropov, to propose a kind of public relations strategy to counter President Reagan’s defense policy initiatives toward the Soviet Union, policies that Kennedy felt were too aggressive.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives.

[YCTHouston]

My tears would be pretty fake right now.

[Rastus]

It’s my first day on earth that he isn’t alive and in the Senate.

[PowerPro]

I’m sorry for his family and their loss.

I wish I could celebrate his life but I don’t think there’s anything to celebrate.

But the name of the wicked will rot." (Proverbs 10:7)

The long train ride to the fiery pits has already started

[SIDENET]

That’s three words.

That's three letters.

[GeronL]

May he find eternal punishment in the fiery pits of Satan and spend his off-time as Lucifers love slave
