Its amazing he got a pass from his comrads or comrats and they take this Chapp. joke lightly. Presently, T. Kennedy probably would be happy if he was just passing gas now - because he most likely is in a horrible place. I wish he wasn't-but he did it to himself. I agree Morry!

Amongst these politicians is to be found such an abnormally high proportion of hypocrites, liars, drunkards, check bouncers, adulterers, thieves, and rapists as to put any other group of citizens out on parole to shame. And yet even amongst this elite, there is one who has always stood out, above them all, the Shyster of shysters, in the stark isolation of his self-made pinnacle: Ted Kennedy, King of "the Hill," had always stood in a class by himself, head and shoulders above his closest rival. As not merely the only senator amongst 1oo, as not merely the only legislator amongst our Federal 535, but as perhaps the only legislator in all of US history who could justifiably lay claim to - not just 2 or 3 -- but virtually EVERY SINGLE ONE of the above coveted character flaws, Senator Kennedy stood above his peers as a giant tapeworm stands above its surrounding microscopic intestinal parasites. And as if that were not enough to justify his elevation to the peak of political professionalism, he is perhaps the only legislator in memory (if not in US history) who can also lay claim to PERSONALLY causing another person's death directly through his own actions. Who amongst us has the temerity to dispute this great politician's standing in his Party? Who amongst us would dare to deny for a minute that in all our nation's history NO politician has come closer than he to achieving the purified essence of the idealized political scumbag? His party could not have selected a more suitable recipient of their highest encomiums than the disHonorable Senator Kennedy, the only man amongst those elected to our nation's highest offices of trust who had been able to rise above the level of mere drunkard, liar, cheater, adulterer, and hypocrite, and to attain the unheard of status of actually having done murder and gotten away with it 100% scott free. His almost super-human achievements in character depravity must of necessity be the envy of every Democratic politician worth his salt. Indeed, it would be surprising if his peers did NOT stand in awe of Senator Kennedy's Olympian political skills. But the Great Politician has now passed on to the great beyond, where few can doubt that he will be VERY warmly received. His personal legacy is one that many politicians of future generations will undoubtedly seek to emulate, but which few if any will ever have a hope of matching. As a final eulogy to this Great Politician, let us never forget his unstinting support of socialized health care for America, and particularly his ceaseless striving to curtail the wasteful funding of medical research & progress so as to make investment in the growth of congressional salaries a permanent reality -- a goal that was always so close to his heart, and which he felt so deeply in his wallet. So while Republicans, libertarians, and so many others who opposed him may continue, selfishly, to yearn for the day when medical science might finally find the road to human immortality, let us give a boisterous thanks that Senator Kennedy has now been permanently spared that prospect.

As the truth began to emerge that he had let Mary Jo die in that car and nothing was done for many hours - can we say "cover up"? We were both democrats (the old kind that really cared about people), so there is no political prejudice. Others can say why they think Kennedy will be remembered.....all we remember is the coward who let a young woman die in the waters near a bridge so long ago.

He'll probably be teaching a class in Libya on just how it's done. As for Ted, he may have only personally killed one, but his great work in promoting abortion rights outdoes the L. Bomber by a longshot. What great encouragement to all the little bombers in training!
