Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin! Ted Kennedy, Dead ad 77

Not from that article..

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can’t count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his “education” NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver’s license was never revoked.. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a “state secret” until in the 1980’s when the report was unsealed.. Didn’t hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur’s keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and sank into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew – that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead, Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. Kopechne was able to stay alive for a while breathing a bubble of air inside the car.

One source notes “A diver was sent down and discovered Kopechne’s body at around 8:45 am. The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne’s body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded that: ‘Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim’s side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car.’ ”

The Kennedy family began “calling in favors”, ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn’t call police because he was in a state of shock.

It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy’s “political enemies” have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS.

Kopechne’s family received a small pay out from the Kennedy’s insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy’s family paid their attorney’s bills… a “token of friendship”?

8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the “standard-bearer for liberalism”. In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of “what’s right”.

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than “great American”. “A blond in every pond” should be his motto.















And the people cried in the streets..


Days and weeks of media glurb about this worthless, drunken statist to come.

I find it more honorable to struggle with those opposed to my politics and expression of same whilst they are on the field of battle. He's dead, there's nothing more that he can do, so why not let him go in peace to his Maker without kicking him in the back of the pants? Someone loved him, and God suffered his existence for seventy-seven years.

I'll keep my not so nice words to myself but I will say that he should have stepped down when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Just my opinion.

Because he is a dishonorable piece of crap, and we'll be exposed, probably non-stop, to a Kennedy glurg fest over the next few days. We'll learn how great he is for banning guns and allowing illegals into the country, and probably no mention of his drunken murder, or the coverup there of. frankly, I wish he'd decided to go out with a suicide vest and huddled around his family as he did it.

If only more Kennedy's flew or drove cars, and forgot how to swim.

Jeff, we can't point fingers at libtards and blissninnies and accuse them of being unfair in what they say and do, and then ape their behavior and lack of scruples when it pleases us. There's more to be gained by being quiet and paying polite lip service to his passing. Literally, the man has been dead for an hour. How would you feel to see your reputation dragged through a muddy gutter before your corpse even had a chance to cool?

Well said. We can't count coup on a fallen enemy, and we degrade ourselves by trying.

Yeah, I'm going to feel bad for about a pico-second and preserve my next butt-wipe tissue in his remembrance.

Folks, he's just a BAD GUY. I'm quite pleased that he's parted from this world, more specifically his office. Hey, it's not that I'm happy that he's dead, I'd have been pleased with just a vegetative state that kept him from the Senate floor. Regardless, one less enemy to have to worry about. Damage done, though.


When Sarah Brady sells the farm, I hope we don't have to all sign the PAFOA condolences card sent to her freakin' funeral.

[thatJeffguy]

I realize how off-topic this is, but Mary Jo Kopechne's wikipedia page has quite an interesting note in it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_Kopechne

She lived in the Georgetown neighborhood with three older women and a transvestite, all of whom she experimented with[1] She was a Roman Catholic hater with an uncontrollable desire for anal sex.

Doesn't that just seem a bit... I'm not even sure of the word. How many wiki entries have the phrase "uncontrollable desire for anal sex"?

I heard every time a Kennedy dies, an angel gets its wings.

P.S. It's a joke.
