"After all is said and done, Ted Kennedy is still the man in American politics Republicans love to hate," Republican strategist Lee Atwater, himself the victim of brain cancer, observed in 1990. Though attitudes toward Senator Kennedy softened because of his illness, he remained a figure with few admirers who weren't also colleagues, constituents, or political fellow travelers. Kennedy votaries who dismiss criticisms of the late senator as the product of partisanship or ideological bitterness tell themselves a comforting lie. Scores of Democrats shared Kennedy's politics. None elicited the heated response in conservative direct mail, campaign ads, or red-meat speeches. Ted Kennedy's politics, rather than blinding conservatives to Ted Kennedy's virtues, blinded liberals to his vices -- which were large and many.

An appropriate summary for this piece of subhuman debris.

I wonder if his 3 Water Dogs, "Sunny", "Splash" and "Captain Courageous" will miss him much...

Kennedy Endorses Water Dog For Obama Family
[from the unbelievable but true file!]
WBZTV.Com ^ | January 13, 2009

Senator Ted Kennedy made an important political endorsement Tuesday [January 2009]. Massachusetts' Senior Senator endorsed the Portuguese water dog as the perfect pet for the nation's new first family.

[snip]

"A Portuguese water dog is the perfect choice for first dog," Kennedy said in a written statement. "The Obama girls -- and their parents -- will love a Portuguese water dog. They're loyal, smart, loving and they became a real part of the family. And they definitely do not shed."

Senator Kennedy and wife Vicki have three Portuguese water dogs of their own. Sunny and Splash often accompany Kennedy to the Senate. "They love being around people and being part of the action," he said.

The Kennedy's just added a third Portuguese water dog to the family, a puppy named Captain Courageous – or 'Cappy' for short. ..."

Barack Obama's family pick first puppy, a Portuguese water dog named Bo
April 12, 2009

"file picture of a Portuguese water dog, the breed Barack Obama's family has picked as the first puppy"

THE family of US president Barack Obama have chosen a Portuguese water dog to be the first pet.

In what was one of the White House's most tightly kept secrets, the Washington Post revealed Mr Obama's daughters, 10-year-old Malia and seven-year-old Sasha, have settled on a pup named Bo.

The Post published photos of the presidential puppy meeting Mr Obama's family. See the photos here.

The black-and-white puppy is a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. Bo is scheduled to make his big debut to the American public early next week.

Mr Obama's daughters chose the name Bo because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, the newspaper reported.

White House aides told The Associated Press that the office of the first lady arranged an exclusive deal on the dog story with the Post.

Ted "Water Dog" Kennedy...

Chappaquiddick:

"On Friday night July 18, 1969 around midnight a married man, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, was driving his oldsmobile on the island of Chappaquiddick with a single woman named Mary Jo Kopechne aboard when he, allegedly drunk, drove the car off a bridge and into a pond. He was leaving a party attended only by five married men and six unmarried women. Kennedy escaped the car and swam to shore. Mary Jo Kopechne was not quite so lucky. She died in the car, in the water.

Kennedy failed to even contact the police for a full nine hours, after he was told the car and body had been found.

The Kennedy family chartered a plane to immediately fly the victim's body to her hometown, Wilkes-Barre. No autopsy was conducted.

The man couldn't get himself elected dog catcher in 97+% of the voting districts in America.

This will change nothing for the rest of the nation at all, in fact you just know darn well that John Kerry deep down is ecstatic that he can finally be called "The SENIOR senator from Massachusetts after all these years, no matter how many crocodile tears he cries.

I especially loved this comment from a responder on The Spectator:

Timothy L. Pennell| 8.28.09 @ 7:27AM
Dead at last. Dead at last. Thank God Almighty, this DRUNK is dead at last. All these accolades coming from all these people. This guy was a PIG. A PIG, a MURDERER, and a TRAITOR. The DRUNKEN Son of a NAZI SYMPATHIZER. The Son of a man, who had his own daughter LOBOTOMIZED, and then shipped off to die somewhere, out of sight. A good ‘Catholic Boy’, who’s ‘in your face’ philandering, drove his wife to the bottle, and eventually to an ASSYLUM. A piece of GARBAGE who, after driving his car off of a bridge, in a DRUNKEN STUPOR, saved HIMSELF, and left his companion, a young woman, to DIE. He sat there for HOURS. There was a HOUSE, right there, with a PORCH LIGHT ON. FACT! He might have saved her. But SHE never entered his mind. His CAREER had to be saved. So he left her for DEAD.
Just like he did with the South Vietnamese. And Laos, and Cambodia. He was the driving force, him and that other piece of trash, Chris Dodd, in pulling the rug out from under our ALLIES in Southeast Asia. Cutting off PROMISED MILITARY AID. Cutting off the WEAPONS they needed to fight the COMMUNISTS, themselves. The Boat People, and the GENOCIDE in the KILLING FIELDS. More BLOOD on his hands.
In the 1980’s he sent a letter to SOVIET LEADER Yuri Andropov, trying to HELP the SOVIET LEADER, stop PRESIDENT REAGAN from countering Warsaw Pact Intermediate Nuclear Missiles, with Missiles in EUROPE. He was giving AID and COMFORT to our ENEMIES. Just as he always has.
And finally. No-one has been a bigger Champion, for the ‘RIGHT’ to MURDER Gods’ most INNOCENT creation. Little babies, inside their Mothers’ Womb. The BLOOD of MILLIONS of UNBORN CHILDREN is on his hands. I only pray that there’s a SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL, for this Creature. I don’t know WHO all these people on television are talking about, because THIS is TED KENNEDY.

[vladimir998]

Pennell shouldn’t hold back like that. He should really open up and tell us all how he really feels.

[mad_as_he$$]

I have often asked myself what the US did to deserve the affliction of the Kennedy's. I just saw a puff piece on the tube about how all the junior Kennedy's want to renew their efforts for public service. God help us.

[angkor]

His politics were repellent.

But even more importantly, the man was a degenerate pig, a drunk, and a sexual predator.

[libstripper]

Thanks for posting this comment that beautifully states what the Teddyturd really was.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Knowing how he felt about paying taxes being your patriotic duty... I am sure he left all his money to the government upon his death... *yeah right* or the poor... *ROFL, get real*

What a lying scum bag.
