‘‘His work on behalf of our fishing industry and the protection of our waters has guided the fishing industry into the future and ensured that generations to come will have the opportunity to love and learn from the sea,” U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said in a statement.

He went on to add that the water provides a great place to park your car.

Former U.S. Rep. Gerry E. Studds was also a member of the Super Adventure Club. (South Park reference alert)

was Studds pitching or catching, when the accident occured?

Neither, the headline says that "Studds dies at 69". There goes your breakfast.

Tell me the elected Republican who has the stones to bring up the truth about Gerry Studds. They'll be on the receiving end of the continuing barrage of Mark Foley questions, but I'm betting not one of them will say a word about Studds. I'll go even further that if it's mentioned to them that Studds passed, they'll let it go with nary a peep out of respect for the dead. Yeah, the same respect for the dead shown to Nixon and Reagan. Grrr.

‘‘We truly were blessed to have what every married couple hopes for: to spend our days with the person we love.”

You don't have to pervert the sacrament of marriage to do that.

As another Freeper asked on one of these threads, "Do they bury him face down?"

In this instance, are there two geese or two gander?

We should call the family to find out so that we don't offend them by using the wrong term. That would be insensitive.

Studds, who lived in the South End with Hara

You can't get more honest than that.

He probably had a falling-out (no pun intended) with them and that's why he died.

‘‘I will always be grateful to Gerry for the life we had together,” Hara, who married Studds a week after same-sex marriage was legalized here in 2004, said in a statement. ‘‘We truly were blessed to have what every married couple hopes for: to spend our days with the person we love.”



That Is Just soooo Gay

This is the Foley substitute for the MSM.

This is their "forgive us" for tossing Foley under the bus.

They celebrate this pedophile and fail to point out foley's efforts to cultivate children for future sex.

The death of Studds serves as a powerful reminder of the two standards employed by the media. Since this death has the power to put the Foley situation in perspective you would think this would be front page news everywhere. Today it is on page c7, in the obits, in the Washington Post.

My son and daughter-in-law live in the South End. It's a very "gay" area of Boston. My son, who his "gay" neighbor referred to as a J.Crew model, is constantly being followed by "gay" men. This neighbor was beside himself when he saw my son moving into their brownstone, that is, til he saw the wife.
As soon as he finishes his MBA program in Dec. they're out of there.
