Hacks flock when Teddy calls
Boston Herald ^ | , August 23, 2009 | Howie Carr

Let us now consider the State House friends of Teddy Kennedy.

OK, so the senior senator’s scheme to keep “his” Senate seat in the family is probably a non-starter. After all, it’s too late for Teddy to provide the customary “gratuities” to the sleazy solons who in 2004 rolled over for him on the bill that took away the then-GOP governor’s ability to fill a vacant Senate seat.

You know, the bill that Teddy demanded passage of, but which he now claims “concerns me deeply,” because it’s so, uh, undemocratic.

What sort of reprobate reps would vote for such palpably corrupt legislation?

Let’s go down the 2004 roll call on a proposed amendment to Teddy’s sordid bill...

The amendment was defeated, 104-44. Below and in our photo array is a partial list of some of the usual Democrat suspects, and I do mean suspects, who followed Teddy’s orders to deprive the people of their “continuity of representation,” as Kennedy now puts it:

Jim Marzilli ... now awaiting trial in Middlesex County on charges of harassing or molesting four women in Lowell last year.

Brian Dempsey of Haverhill: Arrested in 2003 for drunken driving, two years after his mother called 911 when Dempsey and his brother got into a barroom brawl in her living room...

I’m out of space, with no room to name at least six more Kennedy stooges in the House who’ve been bagged for nonpayment of various taxes, not to mention two others fined by the Ethics Commission for accepting improper gifts from lobbyists. But you get the picture.

When it comes to Ted Kennedy’s Svengali-like control over the Legislature, remember the old saying: birds of a feather .

The Banana Republic of Taxachussetts was, amazingly enough, once the Cradle of Freedom in the American Revolution.

It is little more now than a New England Venezuela.

Is there a way we can extract the science departments of Harvard and MIT, and then simply eradicate the rest of Massachusetts?

Soon?

When Kennedy passes away you can bet the farm that Obama, Reid and Pelosi will organize a presidential size funeral for him. He will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, and there will be round the clock coverage of his life and death on all the major networks and cable stations. Get ready for it.

Give the evil Teddy a burial at sea in an upside down Lincoln.

On the other hand, it was heartening last week to see a roomful of irate Massachusetts voters haranguing a defensive Barney Frank. Good to know our Massachusetts Freepers aren’t entirely alone out there.. or, perhaps, that was the entire contingent of Massachusetts Freepers! Fairly good sized crowd, though. The only good thing I can say about Frank is, he appeared and addressed their questions face on. It was lovely to watch the table turn on old Barney.

Seriously, what is the problem with Massachussetts?

Are the voters there insane?

The uncomfortable truth is that if you go into almost any Catholic home in Southie or East Boston or New Bedford or Worcester or Springfield or Clinton or Lowell, you will find, on the living room wall, illuminated by its own small light, a gilt-framed portrait of John F. Kennedy. That, linked with the Left’s brilliant use of the oafish Ted Kennedy for their own social engineering, ensures that as long as these people draw breath they will forever pull any voting machine lever labeled Kennedy, of one of his surrogates.

If Satan takes Teddy’s seat it will be an improvement... but then who will be in Hell poking Ted with a fiery pitchfork?

Many are,for sure.Those that vote for filth like the Senior Senator from Chappaquidick come in a handfull of varieties.

Listed in no particular order:

1)The perverts.Lots and lots of them here.

2)Trust funded,guilt ridden red diaper babies.Lots of *them* here,too.

3)Recipients of various types of government checks.Welfare recipients,social security,government "workers"....

Be prepared for someone proposing Teddy join JFK and Robert at Arlington. Teddy’s “military” service a minimal exposure, with no combat. No justification at all. What really galls me is than any of them would be in clear view from the Custis mansion.

That dishonorable sonofabitch should resign immediately!

He should have been forcibly resigned after Chappaquidic.

Every American has suffered a loss of personal and economic FReedom because that druck, senile, puerile, inane, duplicitous, dishonorable sonofabitch has been a US Senator since 1962.

Give us a break, Ted, and QUIT!
