....except if you're a conservative  :naughty:

R.I.P. and condolences to his family  :innocent:
 


Frack his family, they are nothing but a bunch of drunking, drug addicted, killling, womanizing and liberals etc.

Lets rewrite it:

HYANNIS PORT, Massachusetts (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, a blot-out-the-sun figure in the Democratic Party who took the blood-rusted helm of one of America's most fabled corrupt political families after two older brothers were assassinated, died at age 77, his family said.

Kennedy had brain cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2008. Since he never used it, there was no problem until it spread to his vitals like his stomach.

He was one of the most influential and longest-serving moocher and liar in U.S. history, a commie scum standard-bearer who recovered politically from a string of personal scandals to become known as a consummate congressional dealmaker.

And best of all, it was Ted's own doing. He wanted that law changed to prevent Romney from appointing a republican senator, and then just a few days ago he wanted it changed back. However, he died before that could happen, so...HA!

Kennedys go into politics because of the awesome tail you get with it.

As far as justice for Mary Jo, the scumbag died under hospice care. He slid out of existence in a blissful drugged fog. No way he experienced the agonized terror of that girl's last minutes, or hours, as the oxyen trapped inside that car was slowly depleted. On the other hand, he did at least have over a year to contemplate it.

A bit off topic, when JFK Jr. died, I was more sad for Carolyn and Lauren Bissett than him. Think about, a family lost TWO of their daughters in one day. I sometimes wonder if JFK Jr. committed suicide. The Kennedys are like a royal family in America. There is nothing special about them. The Kennedys got their fortune from bootlegging during Prohibition.

The spin has started all ready, wow that was fast.

We must forgive Teddy who at the young age 40-45 led a wild and reckless life.

Up to that time he had been married to this drunk woman who refused to follow family tradition and have 12 kids.  So he divorces her and find a divorced woman with 2 kids, Mary's her and is reborn to become an honest decent man.  So it was all  Joan's fault that for all those years he was a scoundrel.

Somewhere out there there are a few democrats that if interview would state that Ted was a no good ass.  

For the funeral I am making a list of dignitary's who will be front and center. I did hear that his cold dead body will be placed on display in Boston, Any dignitary's who dread the heat of DC this time of the year will be wise to join the people of Boston and forgo Arlington.

Will the Clinton's be front and center in DC sweating their butts off but be in a party mood

Interesting.

I think its more like homicide. He had no business flying that plane that night.  Minimal instrument qualifications, minimal instrument experience, bad weather, but the bonehead had to fly.

That whole family has pulled boneheaded stunts over and over again. DWI's, car wrecks, drug possession, sexual situations, plane wrecks.  I think half the family has been in rehab for something.

If there is such thing as a "Kennedy Curse".. its often a curse of their own stupidity.

True. The reason I think he committed suicide because George magazine was failing and he took the bar exam four times before he passed.

Forgive Faht Bahstahd if you want, 'numbers.  As for me, judgement and forgiveness are the purvue of the Almighty.  I'll leave it in His capable hands.

Oh, this is interesting...
Quote
In Kennedy's mind, all of these achievements paled next to his long-deferred dream of national health insurance. When President Nixon proposed a plan for universal coverage that would have delighted Democrats in later years, Kennedy, who long backed a government plan, led the opposition, a move he later regretted. So he moved to partial reforms, but even here he was often disappointed. His hopes of a major restructuring were dashed in the early 1990s with the defeat of Bill and Hillary Clinton's health-care initiative.

Well.....I'm not much into grave dancing, but I can offer condolences to those who cared about him. That said, he is answering now to a higher power for the conduct of his life, and I would not want to be in his position........may G*D have mercy on his soul........

Teddy is gone. At last. There are more billions if not trillions of dollare of unfunded "mandates" attached to his name than any man in the universe's history.

JFK Jr. has an accidental crash. Back in the day, I flew amall planes fron the East Hampton Airport to Block Island to New London Ct. . When the ground fog, very thin, starts as the sun sets, you c an easily lose the visual horizon. If you are not on the instruments before you lose the horizon, you can misread the artifical horizon. If you correct the wrong way, the indicators can wind up in a jumble in one corner of the instrument, you feel level, but you are augering in.

He had NO instrument rating only VFR, but should have flown IFR anyway, and let the FAA check, if they chose, after you are safe on the ground. I flew, with a certified pilot, from EH Airport to West Palm at night IFR all the way and no one ever even asked how we were rated.

Remember, there are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots!

Actually, as I mentioned to my wife when it happened, we have flown the same route that he did many times.....from Teterboro to Martha's Vinyard, both VFR and IFR, but we always took the "overland" route, flying the western shore of Long Island Sound, never out of gliding distance to the beach.......he had to do the direct overwater route, which would have saved him 20 minutes if he had made it.......but unfortunately he didn't.

My flight innstructor used to tell me that "flying is terribly unforgiving of stupidity and arrogance"......

The Kennedy's unfortunately are blessed with vast reserves of both......
