Ted Kennedy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kennedy)

:(

Now he can meet Mary Jo in person :zoinks:

:agreed: :plus:

Maybe they can use the eulogy he wrote for his brother's funeral:
My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him: 'Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.'
I wonder what his death will do to the US health care reform debate, since he was one of its most passionate advocates.

Help it along no doubt - sure it will be passed in his honour. Would be a fitting tribute to a great man.

Good riddance.

Not a perfect man, but had the capability of bringing about some good.
And in the case of politics, that's really saying something.
Not perfect. But the Senate will be less for his loss.

i dunno much American politix tbh but from what i've read about him i don't see what's so wrong about him

He was a self-righteous asshole, like the rest of the Kennedy family. He also let a young woman drown after driving of a bridge drunk as a skunk. An "ordinary" US citizen would probably have gotten a few years in jail for that, but "King" Edward Kennedy got away with a slap on his wrist. :thumbdn:

Its about fucking time. Good riddence. Elitetist scum money sucking whore of politics... he's in hell right now asking, why am I here? I'm a kenedy!

health care will not bring this country down... that's a big smoke screen to get everybody focused on a small nuget and forget the real problems.. i just went inner city today.. The real problem is hard drugs. The storm is comming my friends. When they start cooking up meth in minnesota, the end is near. And nobody is doing anything about it or even talking about it.

Liberalism will be the down fall of America. It is not very far away, the labor pains have started... Buy a gun if you want, it's not gonna help in the end.

You don't think that the two problems don't go hand in hand? People turn to drugs for a reason and in many cases if they were treated like human beings in the first place, would not be on them.

The Kennedy's were a rum-running crime family that dabbled in politics and got lucky.

Buggrit, I saw the post title and you, sir, you little cunt, got me hopes up that that McCarthy bitch had kicked the bucket:P
Fuck, she is one awful failed attempt at a human being. I can't help but think of her as an out of work whore thats shacked up with that bellend wakefield after he got struck off here and scarpered over to the US to spout his special brand of bollockspeak.

She is an abhorrent human being. Jim Carrey too.

I wouldn't go that far. Abhorrent, yes. An odious cunt with no redeeming features? definitely. But human being? you must have extended your customary bourbon night to a bourbon month or two if you are prepared to go that far. I was so drunk on (pure, untainted) lab ethanol last night that I passed out for about 7 hours after having around enough time to smoke a cigar and I STILL wouldn't have gone THAT bloody far.

Rumor has it that Hefner left his young widow nada in the will. :blonde: :oldman:
