Once again Fox News is caught flatfooted while CNN is airing news of the Kennedy death, FoxNews is continuing with regular programming.
” ... covered it for about 45 seconds ...”
There you go, they did their duty. After a period of mourning [three days maybe], a Chappaquiddick review is also in order.
We were watching the end of Hell’s Kitchen, and they didn’t air the preview for next week just to show TK’s obituary.
If you can’t say something nice . . . . .
Maybe they could rehash their OJ car chase next.
I’m still amused that after he had four kids he got his first marriage ANNULLED. How much of his ill gotten gains did he have to give up for that?
I agree but Congress is in recess and we’re waiting for further word from the Pope.
I understand that he’s working with the Gay Bishops for Life and their own version of the Heath Care Bill, aka A Wafer a Day keeps Democrats at Bay.
"Patriot"?
I can clearly recall the drunken oaf accusing the US military of re-opening Saddam's torture chambers "under new management".
Sickening.....

This is my reaction.
Yup...
Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:
He described the Iraq war as a fraud “made up in Texas” as part of political strategy — accused the President of the US of “telling lie, after lie, after lie”, in order to go to war in Iraq.
Kennedy smears Judge Alito...Mrs. Alito in tears:
“In suggesting that Samuel Alito had belonged to a racist conservative group, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy relied heavily on an essay published by the organization that sounded like a bigoted rant. The essay, titled ‘In Defense of Elitism.....But the magazine’s editor at the time says the article was pure satire, a send-up of what liberals think conservatives think. He added quote, ‘I think left-wing groups have been feeding Senator Kennedy snippets and he has been mindlessly reciting them,”
Sen. Edward Kennedy Smears the Nation
“On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked: ‘Who would prefer that Saddam’s torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management — U.S. management.”
A speech on the Senate floor, May 10, 2004.
Kennedy’s smear of Judge Bork on the US Senator floor:
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy....”
Fox News has been covering it wall to wall for the last 20 minutes.
I wonder how popular TK was really, outside of Massachusetts and extreme liberal circles.
Good, the less said about it the better.
Bye Teddy, don’t let the door of eternity hit you on the way out.
Hold your horses fella.
The news alleges that the rollicking Tedster died at his home in Hyannis Port.
Unless you think that the media had a deathwatch around his bed, don't you think that his family made the announcement and carefully selected the agency and order in which they were informed.
The Kennedys' have had one of the most vicious and efficient PR teams spanning decades. Why would they suddenly become something other than what they have always been.
Don't lose track of who the real enemy is.
What did you expect from the Kennedy’s?
Fathered by a man who gained his fortune running alcohol during Prohibition, hanky panked in Hollywood, hung with the Mob.
Took his mildly retarded daughter and had a lobotomy performed while his wife out out of town.
Real sweetheart who married a woman who head her head in the sand.
Train Wreck which carried forward for generations.
FoxNews had it on 38 minutes after the hour.
On a sidenote to Ted’s death, God rest his tortured soul, the idiots in Congress will now be slobbering all over themselves to get that 1200 page pile of excrement called a Healthcare bill named for Kennedy and passed before Byrd craps out too. Obama is celebrating his apparent good fortune this morning.
Live coverage of his soul descending into the fiery pits for all eternity?
