There have been times when Americans would fall for this sort of cheap, cynical, gooey political nonsense ... but this ain’t one of those times.

“May God have mercy on his soul and be with the family”.

Might I also add that hopefully God will leave the entrance decision up to St. Peter. Betcha he will make the right call. I understand Mary Jo is standing next to Peter.

Hmmmm. Obama in Hawaii. Grandma dead.

Obama in Martha's Vineyard. Kennedy dies.

Grandma helped him get elected, so maybe Teddy can get him the final blow to our grandkids. It's getting closer...

[SolidWood]

let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate

Said the Klansman...

[growingpains]

If Byrd weeps so much for Ted, by all means he can go and join him!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I told Teddy on another thread a few days ago to ‘beware of pillows’.

[mojitojoe]

He was a disgusting POS.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Absolutely!

[Huck]

That didn’t take long. lol

The “public option” is really the GOVERNMENT OPTION and you can erase the word OPTION as well from this.

****Kenndycare ... it’s dead in the water.****

Just perfect...lol

[Aria]

Kenndycare ... it’s dead in the water.

I stand in admiration of you - so much said and so concisely ! :-)

[goodnesswins]

LET the BILL DIE......just like Kennedy the Commie...

[Emmett McCarthy]

Yes, I agree that we should hope for his rest with the Lord because, regardless of what we think of him in this life, I consider it foolish to do otherwise. None of us who has ever truly considered the enormity of “hell” could begin to wish otherwise for another, in my opinion.
That being said, we will have a long-running “Weekend At Bernie’s” here as the lefties take the corpse on tour in support of this current power grab. The Massachusetts legislature will do whatever the Dems tell them has to be done as far a selecting his successor out of “respect for the dead”. For Dems, there’s nothing more useful than a well-timed and politically expedient death.

Did not Rush Limbaugh get BLASTED by the left wing when he made a comment about...

The answer is "yes", regardless of how you finish the sentence.

[maggief]

They should have named another bill after him, Kennedy Kash 4 Klunkers.

[WVKayaker]

I remember Ron Brown's funeral.

[Lancey Howard]

Wow, this was even quicker than I thought.
