'Wellstone effect' for Kennedy?
Politico/YahooNews ^ | 8/27/09 | Ben Smith

While most prominent Republicans stuck Wednesday and Thursday to sober condolences — and several Republican operatives said it was too early to accuse Democrats of politicizing a sad moment — the conservative media, as well as some operatives, has seized on the whiff of politicization of his passing, recalling the bitter charges and countercharges that followed Sen. Paul Wellstone’s (D-Minn.) memorial service in 2002.

Rush is playing Wellstone clips now, you’d think the Democrats would learn because of the backlash after that Memorial, but somehow I think they won’t.

You just KNOW the First teleprompter can’t resist a chance to insert his agenda into it. None of them ever can - the original Wellstone funeral proved it!

The chant of "We will win" at the Wellstone memorial will be replaced with "Do it for Ted" at the Kennedy memorial.

Bank on it.

A bit of historical info on Wellstone and his untimely demise campaigning.

When he first ran for the senate he promised to serve no more than two terms.

His plane went down while campaigning for a 3rd term.

Had he kept his promise, he would be alive today.

Any and every “memorial” to Ted should be met with protests.

I really hope they do a wellstone for kennedy. And I hope it is televised on all the alphabet soup networks. And shown over and over and over again. C’mon media, never let up showing us how you loved kennedy.
That’ll leave a mark.

The only pleasure we get it watching these dolts think we all are so enthralled with the Kennedys. We get to watch them self destruct thinking we all care.

Dizzy Dean will be “th moderator” at Ted’s memorial..etc..


I am sorry but when you refer to this poor excuse for a clown as “Dizzy” Dean, you are bringing GREAT DISRESPECT to one Jerome “Dizzy” Dean an ace picture of the St Louis Cardinals “Gas House Gang”, winning 30 games in 1934 with a 2.66 ERA...Also, PLEASE, don’t refer to this idiot Dean as
“Daffy” either as Dizzy’s brother Paul was known as Daffy and he won 19 games for the 1934 St Louis Cardinals.
Dizzy is also given credit for coining the phrase
“it ain’t braggin` if ya can back it up”

Thank you.

I somehow can’t think of the country having a groundsweel of sympathy for “dear old Ted” nor do I see it helping pass health care

So... I hope they try to use it.

I think the image of him as a fat, drunken, intern murdering, commie-liberal blowhard is stronger
