Why Boston backed Teddy (Why did Ted Kennedy win the Senate Eight times?)

Is it too late to give Taxachusetts back to England?

You are being too kind. That and I am getting to be mean in my old age.

My name is David Kopetchny, MaryJo was my first cousin

David's parents obviously never taught him how to spell his last name...........Its Kopechne

But unfortunately people like us are outnumbered. I have people on my facebook—whom I like for reasons other than politics—who have been posting RIP Ted, God Bless Ted, He was a legend etc type of fawning. I try to bring up the Chapp. incident, etc. But you can’t change their minds.

And what’s making me really sick is what’s happened to the Boston Herald. Outside of Howie it’s really sickening Ted worship (and will they sell a lot more papers to suckers because of it? You bet! They ran special commemorative editions when Obama got elected. Trying to remember if they did so when W got elected. It’s all about money and the Herald knows all the Kennedy admirers out there.

And today I took a daytrip to visit my Dad on the Cape and saw all the electronic signs saying the following (plus at least one overpass banner)

THANKS TED
FROM THE PEOPLE OF MASSACHUSETTS

Not from me!
