Oh my.
The cross-carrying carpetbagging maternal ancestress, mother of the Bostonian Drunkard, who could've been a senator's daughter:

Joan Kennedy
A beautiful, wonderful woman who stood by her husband during his worst ordeal. I'm weeping this morning to see her at Mission Church showing the terrible signs of a ravaging disease. It must be a huge effort for her to be there for her children.

1. As I said, I have always felt the sorriest for the Kennedy women.
By coincidence, so have most Republicans and conservatives felt sorry for dead ted's much-abused, much-used, much-misused wife.

4. I'm not sure "it" did it to her. I think she had a problem early on. But some of these life events surely didn't help. Today, it looks like she's probably on some heavy medication. It just makes me very, very sad.

5. She seems to be holding her own today. It is brave of her to be there for her kids.
I cannot imagine how it would feel to sit there after 25 years and three kids together, and have to listen to everyone say that Vicki was the love of his life. Nothing against Vicki. Joan and Ted were divorced for 10 years when he met Vicki.

On a side note about Joan, I use to love the bits Howard stern did years and years ago doing teh voice of Vast teddy and Joan kenndy.

No, she didn't. She survived.
She's been a hopeless drunk her entire life, but he didn't kill her.

I think Mary Jo got the worst part of Ted's life.

Kennedy women and Hillary have a lot in common....they'll put up with anything for the fame and fortune.
Watched a few minutes of the funeral...Bill Clinton brought his best, "I'mma so sad" face. Obama and michelle had on there "What? No god damn America" look. Hillary was rolling her eyes and looking like, "Why isn't everyone looking at me?". Jimmah Carter looked like he just eat a bad peanut ...and the most hated man in America (by liberal standards) G W Bush....well I believe he was the only one there that displayed any true emotions or even the notion that the whole affair was a funeral for someone else and not a PR moment for themselves.

Ok I just had a thought. I know scary huh?
For years the primitives both on and off the island bitched that Reagan may have had the early symptoms of Alzheimer but, he didn't step down. Teddy had a brain tumor for over a year shouldn't he have stepped down too? I do know a senate seat doesn't have as much responsibility as POTUS but, if the man was ill especially with something that affects the brain why was it ok for him to sit in the senate?

Did both of them actually stay awake during the service? As I recall, Bill went to sleep at Reagan's funeral........
I'll be the first to admit that we didn't have the stomach to watch.....

Mizz Clnton looked like she was sleeping with her eyes open. For some reason, Bill was looking down and to the right the entire time the camera was on him.
Must have been one of the Kennedy nieces with nice legs in the next row.

I didn't watch. I had better things to do than watch the media and sheeple play with themselves while pretending that Fats Teddy was a saint of some type. What was I was doing that was better than watch the celebration of liberalism?
I don't remember, I think it was the dishes
