Ted paid the debt that pays all debts. I was more than happy to bash Ted when he was alive but that ended when he died. God have mercy on his soul.

Hillary Clinton just issued a statement about Kennedy. Took her awhile compared to others today! Guess she’s still bitter he endorsed Obama instead of her.

My late Father-in-law is buried in Arlington.

He had a few choice words for Fat Drunk Ted when he was alive ...

They better be sure and allow proper drainage for all the ensuing urine.

Better install a septic tank ... or a direct line to the local wastewater treatment plant.

We DON'T want it all running off directly into the Potomac.

Too much of an honor. More appropriately, he should be buried at pond......Poucha Pond.

This is a travesty against the service members buried there.
Kennedy was in the Army after getting expelled from Harvard. He father pull strings to keep him in Paris rather than in the Korean War that was raging at the time; his father also got his enlistment cut from four years to two. He never rose above the rank of Private.
