I can't believe this guy actually thinks because he is a Kennedy that makes him on par with a president. I think he truly believes that he took the place of JFK.
Ideas for memorial: Truth about Chappaquiddick; Grossly Obese statute; Educating America on cirrhosis of liver.
Teddy is starting to look like he needs his own zip code.
If nothing else, it would prevent him from taking others with him when he self-immolates due to his 100 proof breath coming into contact with an open flame.
The Kennedy's are of no real importance anymore so teddie has to make something up to either keep their name alive or to try and salvage his own name. It will fail for sure. You don't pat yourself on the back ted...
Where's the sheet?
He's really gin to be swimming upstream with this one.
If Mary Jo Kopechne had lived she would be grateful to the swimmer for having brought comfort to her old age.
My suggestion for the plaque:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Senator Teddy, wearing his controversial neck brace, leaves St. Vincent's
Church with his wife, Joan, after the funeral Mass for Mary Jo Kopechne.
Rich, fat, arrogant drunk.
Perhaps they can get Chris Dodd to speak fondly about how he and Teddy use to get drunk and "sandwich" waitresses. I am sure that there will be the obligatory video of the "vigorous" Kennedys playing football, sailing, skiing, etc. Too bad Ted didn't have the energy to dive down to his car and rescue his date.
I thought he was really trying to bring down what's left of UMass-Amherst by donating his papers
if they name a "school of shafting the taxpayers" after him?
Sen. Edward Kennedy, [D-Mass.], in a letter to a constituent, August 3, 1971:
"While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized -- the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grown old.
"I share the confidence of those who feel that America is working to care for its unwanted as well as wanted children, protecting particularly those who cannot protect themselves. I also share the opinions of those who do not accept abortion as a response to our society's problems -- an inadequate welfare system, unsatisfactory job training programs, and insufficient financial support for all its citizens.
"When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception."
I don't think I want to know about the oral history of Bill Clinton...eeewwwww
OMG! LOL
