Just the controversial 40-year-old event, the ugliest single moment from the late senators 77 years on Earth, nearly 47 of them in public service. The term, "Public service" has taken on a whole new meaning in the past decade or so. Hard to believe they're still using this term, that is about as accurate as the term, "Public servant".

Our culture has a frightening capacity to overlook character altogether when idolizing role models. Elvis was a weak, self-indulgent bum, and Michael Jackson was a drug addicted child molester, but these failings present no impediment to their being worshipped like living gods. When did we quit caring about character?

I’m sure Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Chavez, Hussein and all other marxists, who are not as well known, are all sincere in their true belief in marxism just like Kennedy, but don’t wait for me to feel sorry when a marxist leaves this life to stand in front of Jesus to be judged for all eternity and has to explain himself.

Chappaquiddick-type people possess a meanness of spirit that goes beyond simple politics. They're not the ones who drove the car into the water and then waited hours before reporting it.

According to one of Teddy's biographers, Teddy liked to hear the latest Chappaquiddic jokes. So Teddy, this cartoons for you...way down there wherever you are......

controversial event (that could have been prevented) = vehicular homicide
doubtful that even today Ted would face charges
Ted has gone to meet his maker... Be interesting to know if he gets a pass for Mary Jo's death, Joan's despair, alchoholism, womanizing, abortion facilitator, changing Catholic church rules to suit his own purposes, etc.

I actually had a moderator remove one of my own posts last night.
There was no profanity in it. There was nothing untrue in it. I was simply angry at having lived my adult life with this man as my Senator the entire time, and the heat of it came out in my post.
I guess living up here, seeing and hearing the hagiographic platitudes about him has been a trial.

The taking of a human life is just a blip on the author's radar, and the cowardly way he acted apparently speaks nothing of his character to the author.
Ideology is all that counts, and apparently it forgives all sins.

The author must never have gone to democraticunderground.com if she thinks Free Republic is bad. Those are the nastiest most foul mouth bunch I have ever seen. Free Republic can't begin to complete with them.

Hollywood, a group which today complains bitterly about being pirated while itself being a product of pirating, has brought us the culture of celebrity. The image that flashes by on the screen or stage is all that matters. Pay No Attention To The Monsters Behind The Curtain!

These people do not grasp the reality to what demented, wicked souls they are. There is not an untruthful word in the assessments made of Ted Kennedy. He was a very troubled man of extreme privelege and partisanship who did everything to hold onto power and there are countless examples of the hateful words spoken by Teddy that tossed around malicious slanders at Reagan, Bush and anyone who dared have differing political views. There are those on the Republican side who do not want to focus on the true character of the man and what he meant and their way of doing things is to build someone up and say the most overly gracious, even to the point of lying, things about him. To each their own, but if anything it is damning that they find these things said about him so troubling when he was a supposedly ‘great’ man and these things are the literal truth about this ‘great’ man. The man was troubled and does not deserve to be called a hero or great statesman.

A President covers up a small break-in to the DNC. BIG DEAL. A Senator is responsible for the death of a woman. NO BIG DEAL.
