Ya, he was in the Army in the early or mid ‘50s, if I recall correctly. His father pulled strings and got Ted stationed in Paris. Rumor has it that Ted enjoyed the company of French girls and French wine when he was there.

He spent 2 years in the Army and he has family there. It’s by the book, I think, however unfortunate that may be.
His presence can’t desecrate the deserving. That’s just not possible.

” Kennedy prayed there in 2003 while his daughter, Kara, was being treated for lung cancer.”
One son, Edward Kennedy, Jr lost his leg to cancer when he was very young.
Patrick has a history of alcoholism, drug abuse, scrapes with the law and has been recently diagnosed as bipolar.

What you wanta bet he has to read it or use a teleprompter. What’s the chances he can speak from the heart? I’d say slim and none.

First, he’s a Kennedy, and has had a burial plot waiting for him since JFK died.
Second, Medal of Freedom recipients can be buried there. Ted Kennedy received one from Obama recently.
Third, the President and Congress can authorize anyone to be buried there through legislation. Ted Kennedy already has that.

He could have "repented" in his last days. I guess we will never know. But, as far as I know, if he was never ex-communicated from the Church, he would be entitled to a Funeral Mass. I suspect many criminals have, in one way or another, had this. Think of the Mafia, many were Italian Catholics, committed horrible crimes, but showed up at church and received the Sacraments. And, had extensive funerals in the Church. I guess the Church's position is based on forgiveness and letting God be the final judge.
But, boy would I love to hear what God has to say to Kennedy at the Pearly Gates. And I hope Mary Jo is there to listen and watch. Ted can't argue his way with God!

Damned if I know....I thought I heard that because space is running out that now being a vet doesn’t get you buried there - you have to be a vet who has served in combat.....the only combat I know that this ass served was when he was fighting to get out of a car that was under water.....I’m livid that he’s going to be buried there and my father who is a 26-year AF vet can’t be.....

Obama probably thinks this will help his sagging poll numbers. Will none of his own tell the fool that face time on TV equals diminishing poll numbers? Seriously, people are sick of him. With that said, roll on bambi...tell us what you think on prime time TV. Give that eulogy, hold that press conference.
To: Red Steel
Obambi thinks? I think not!
