At least she didn’t fly into the Atlantic, ski into a tree, or drive off a bridge. Who cares. Just another piece of liberal debris from the Communist Peoples Dictatorship of Taxachusetts!

Interestingly, the women of the Kennedy clan have been the more well-behaved ones for the most part.

Who cares? 3 people died in Tucumcari, New Mexico and nobody got concerned about that enough to post it. Who gives a rip about Kennedys? Why keep trying to make them into some royal family? The sooner they all go away the better for the country. Where is the concern for the people who died in Laurel, Mississippi, or Liberal, Kansas, or Cheyenne, Wyoming, or Hackensack, Minnesota?

Yep. And I wonder if she’d have made it to 88 if she’d been subjected to Obamacare.

Oh, wait. Silly me. She was a member of the ROYAL FAMILY and she whouldn’t have.

88? Wasn’t that the Oldsmobile model Teddy drove off the bridge with Mary Jo?? How old was she when that Kennedy KILLED HER???

YES!! Well said. Over 6,000 people die in the USA every day, and I don't see the sanctimonious hand wringers posting condolences for their families. Now when Teddy craps out I'll enjoy reading about that, but otherwise like you said, who cares.

I agree. Eunice seems to have been the best of the Kennedy's, so I say RIP -- but the media kills me.

NPR this morning would announce that Eunice Kennedy Shriver had died, they would praise her nobility and her years of public service, they would discuss JFK and RFK, etc. About a 5 minute segment.

Then they would cover something like ... I dunno ... Afghanistan -- and after doing that, they would announce that Eunice Kennedy Shriver had died, they would praise her nobility and her years of ...

When will we stop worshipping these people??
