Normally I wouldn't waste a moment of time on any article with keywords like 'Boston', 'Democrat', 'Liberal', 'Kennedy' but this one was fairly interesting and I did get a new slant on Sen. Walrus with his kid's comment:
He learned to plod, because soaring made him look ridiculous. "It's really 3 yards and a cloud of dust with him," says his son Patrick.
It reminded me immediately of Charles Schulz's character, "PIGPEN'!

If he's the best senator ever, I'm the pope, and I'm not even catholic! Sort of reminds me of "the smartest woman in the world". What is it about liberals and their delusions of grandeur? Tertiary syphillis is one explanation that comes to mind.

"And what of the dead woman? On July 18, 1969, on the weekend that man first walked on the moon, a 28-year-old named Mary Jo Kopechne drowned in his automobile. Plutocrats' justice and an implausible (but effective) coverup ensued." If Kennedy was a Republican, his political career would have been over. Demonrats would have crucified him and showed him no mercy. Why did powerful Republicans allow him to get away with murder?

If this is what Kennedy looks like unbound, I suggest we're not taxing the American public enough. The Senate needs the funds to buy him a stronger corset, and have him re-bound.

There's this popular series of book(let)s which is evidently becoming a TV series. "The Worst-Case Situation Survival Handbook."
Written by "experts", each meticulously listed, on subjects such as "How to deal with a charging bull" (step one: "Do Not Antagonize the Bull"), "How to leap from a speeding train," etc.
One of the "scenarios" is "How to escape from a submerged car," and of course I expected the "expert" to be Teddy. Imagine my disappointment...

It's a new Senate and Byrd is no longer President pro tempore of the Senate...he's in the wrong party. The most Senior Republican is now the President Pro Tempore. Whoever that may be.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy's car at the site of the July 18, 1969, crash on Chappaquiddick Island, Martha's Vineyard, that claimed the life of Mary Jo Kopechne. Because of the tragedy, and its aftermath, Kennedy's political life - if not his destiny - was forever altered. More likley, being a scumbag drunken loser was his destiny to begin with.

That is a good one. I liked Chappaquiddick Swim team Captain as a title for the fat fool.

Frankly, the cynical cat thinks that being the "best senator ever" is a kind of dubious achievement to begin with. What are this professional politician's real world accomplishments anyway?
