If the aphorism de mortuis nil nisi bonum instructs us to speak only good of those who have passed away, perhaps there is a corrollary applicable to those facing a dread disease. While I am thus somewhat reluctant to do so, I cannot let pass without comment Mike Barnicle's words about Ted Kennedy on today's Morning Joe.
MIKE BARNICLE: Last night when he came out, it was clearly a bittersweet experience. There was a tinge of sadness to it, to be frank about it. He's an enormously courageous man . . . You know, I've encountered very few people of my life, Joe, who are more extraordinarily attuned to others who are in pain. Whether it's physical pain, whether it's something caused by an illness. Whether it's an accident of fate, whether it's something that has befallen them, some tragedy of any sort. He is uniquely equipped to reach out to people who are hurt and damaged.

Courageous Ted reaches out to accident victims ping to Today show list.
COURAGEOUS, MIKE????? Wonder if the KOPECHNE Family thinks he’s COURAGEOUS!
Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
he was just heart-broken over leaving that gasping girl submerged in the bottom of that pond while he tried to get somebody else to take the rap.
Apparently with the exception of Mary Jo Kopechne....
Barnicle the Plagiarist is uniquely qualified to comment on Biden the Plagiarist...
Say, wasn't there an incident of plagiarism/cheating that resulted in Teddy K being thrown out of Harvard???
Mark Levin calls the program “The Morning Shmoe” which is pretty darn accurate.
the “Lion of the Senate” - lmao
won’t be long now, Teddy.
¡No me digas!
Too bad ole teddy was too drunk to save Mary Jo from the “accident” that befell her.
Just as the McLaughlin Group signs off with; Bye..Bye.
Good luck to you Teddy on your next journey.
What a pantload of BS. The accident of fate happened to Mary Jo. That tribute last night was repulsive.
Fat Ted always pictired helpin’the po little black kids. I saw it as the big fat super rich benefactor Ted sure to keep the future black people of America, dependent, and ever so gtateful, that libs like big fat Ted keep them down and on the plantation.
Ugh.
Fr. Rutler has some interesting things to say about “speaking well of the dead.” In fact, Kennedy may even be mentioned in the piece.
And I suspect Mike the Plagarist is overjoyed that Joe the Plagarist will the the nominee for vice president.
“Courageous Ted reaches out to accident victims”
Unless, of course, it involves a bit of swimming to reach them.
Kept thinking to myself.
Why not have OJ up there. Here’s 2 guys that got away with taking lives, and people are fawning over them.
Time for your next life Ted.
P.S. Mary Jo will show you the south entrance, as I’m sure that’s where you are going. Don’t bother bringing any of your winter clothing, as I’m sure you won’t need it there.
It’s well heated...............
He sure looks dead to me. What is it with all the Zombies these days?
