oh goody - the democrats have such a reputation for turning funerals into classless circuses.

So they’ll use Arlington as a stage for passing healthcare.

Can’t wait for the spectacle.

For those who don't know Sen. Kennedy's background I offer this bit of history.

1) Sen. Kennedy enlisted in the US Army not out of a patriotic duty but because he was expelled from Harvard Joseph P. Kennedy college for cheating TWICE.

2) Sen. Kennedy's father, Joseph P. Kennedyl, pulled strings to ensure that Ted served in France at SHAPE Headquarters to avoid service in the Korean War.

3) Sen. Kennedy was mediocre serviceman who never rose above the rank of Private First Class.

So in all fairness, Sen. Kennedy would be a Korean-era vet but not actual Korean War Vet.

"Kennedy enlisted in the United States Army in June 1951. Following basic training at Fort Dix, he requested assignment to Fort Holabird for Army Intelligence training, but was dropped after a few weeks without explanation. He went to Camp Gordon for training in the Military Police Corps. In June 1952, he was assigned to the honor guard at SHAPE headquarters in Paris. His father's political connections ensured he was not deployed to the ongoing Korean War. While stationed in Europe he travelled extensively on weekends and climbed the Matterhorn. He was discharged in March 1953 as a private first class."
