I’m sad for his illness and health problems, but, it’s refreshing to see this reporting.

I had heard that his job in the Army was guarding NATO headquarters. And he enjoyed dating French girls in his off hours. Must be nice to be stationed in Paris rather than in a war zone.

Yep he’s the liberal lion. I agree he’s the liberal lion, but I don’t consider that a term of endearment, as the MSM would like it to be.

To this day, there has not been a full investigation of Chappaquiddick (sp?). The people who were at that party at that house to this day have not spoken publicly about anything.

Sometimes the MSM talks about the tragedies of the Kennedy family. I hate when they include events such as Chappaquiddick and the William Kennedy Smith rape case in those family tragedies. I think that the assassinations of JFK and RFK were true tragedies. But self-inflicted wounds like Chappaquiddick, William Kennedy Smith, the other Kennedy cousin who allegedly was involved with the under-aged babysitter, the other Kennedy cousin who was busted for drugs, etc. should not be excused or overlooked as part of a tragic family history.

I was also under the impression that he cheated at UVA and was suspended. Not true?

“In his sophomore year at Harvard, Kennedy was expelled for cheating. In danger of failing a Spanish class, Kennedy paid a friend to take an exam for him. The student was recognized – and both were expelled. After a stint in the Army, Kennedy returned to Harvard, where he eventually received a degree.”

Teddy went to law school at UVA. Somewhere I thought I read he cheated there too.

Did Teddy ever have a real job?

I couldn’t find anything about him cheating at UVA, it would not surprise me if he did cheat, as for a real job, surely you jest! Ted wouldn’t know a real job if it kicked him in the a$$! He’s just like all the other hacks, clueless, a criminal, out of touch yet allowed to make laws etc. for the rest of us, how ironic.

True enough...but on a more upbeat note he most assuredly deserved the Lenin Peace Prize he was awarded in 1968.

busy “meeting his maker”

That’s what I wanted to say.....but I did not want to indulge myself with pleasant and happy thoughts.
Obama’s poll numbers are enough pleasure for one day.
