November 17, 2003 -- BOSTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy remembered his slain brothers yesterday, saying he felt loss, but also inspiration, when thinking of them.

Kennedy (D-Mass.), an influential liberal who has served in Congress for four decades, was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about his thoughts as the 40th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination approached Saturday.

Has killing Mary Jo inspired him too?

[Tijeras_Slim]

It sucks when your drinking and womanizing buddies get shot.

How about the pilot of the chartered plane and fat Ted's administrator who died when fat Ted insisted they fly into bad weather so that he could make a nomination acceptance speech in Boston? Do they inspire fat Ted also?

[Piquaboy]

I wonder if he has a deep sense of loss over Mary Jo? He should, as she inspired him to swim off and leave her so that he could save his sorry fat drunken butt.

They were my heroes," he said

And so you betrayed their memory by turning socialist because....?

[JesseHousman]

I wonder what this bloated, leftist's IQ is?

If he didn't have his taxpayer supported staff of writers and handlers we'd see a simpleton whose IQ wouldn't approach normal room temperature.

All male members of the Kennedy clan from the present back to that crook Joe Kennedy learned well from him. They pull every cheap trick in the book from rape to abandoning a girl friend to die to outright stealing. Thats right, ALL of them.

That toady who moderates Face The Nation, Bob Schieffer, licked fat teddys boots the whole program Sunday. It was a disgusting display of bias for the dims and fat ted.

[GrandMoM]

YOUR VALUES???

....Ahem....what values would those be,

WOMANIZING? DRUNKENISM? PRO-GAYISM? TREASON?

If I had known that they were on their way to midnight mass, I may have forgiven him. Not! John Edwards sued the Italian bridge manufacturers. That is where he got all his money to run for president.

It has been nearly 60 years since Joe Jr. died in bombing run into France, it has been 40 years since JFK passed into history, and it is at least 35 years since Bobby assumed room temperature. And Teddy just goes on and on.

GET OVER IT, TEDDY! You are not a has-been, you are a never-were. All that has gone before did not in any way carry you along. Never enough personal courage to attempt the Presidency yourself, you could not accord even simple courtesy to those who tried to give you an opportunity to make a positive effect on any number of domestic issues, and you have never acknowledged the legacy that was passed to you in the name of your brothers.

There is some kind of Gothic-Gaelic theme in all this, waiting to be discovered by a truly talented playwright, who could tell a tale both true and terrible in its power to inspire.

The only thing that inspires the swimmer is the knowledge that he will be next if he doesn't keep giving the mob money for payback (as in the big dig) ever since his dad and brothers screwed them after they got John elected.

GET OVER IT, TEDDY! You are not a has-been, you are a never-were.

Teddy reminds me of Hillary in terms of reputation, intelligence, politics and girth.

[evilC]

See reply #7. Looks like there were FReepers around even then :)

[Mich0127]

He probably forgot about Mary Jo...that is what drinking will do to you...
He should "shut up and drink"

[Mich0127]

A direct quote from Teddy thrown back at him:
HE IS A NEANDERTHAL!!!
oh..and a drunk too...
He talked about how unnecessary it was to spend all of those hours in talks about the judicial nominees...maybe he was upset because his job cut into his drinking time....

Kennedy (D-Mass.), an influential liberal who has served in Congress for four decades, was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about his thoughts as the 40th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination approached Saturday.

Kennedy said, "The deaths of my brothers did at least have a silver lining. While their premature demise meant I could no longer share their female dates, it did finally put 'PAID' to the looming deal with Nikita Khrushchev to trade me for Cuban missiles."
