Never forget some of the excesses this man is responsible for, including more than 25 million more immigrants than we would have had otherwise b/c of his immigration legislation put in place a couple decades back.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. This man spread a lot of evil.

The antidote to bad character is celebrity status. The lesser lights of our already rather dim culture grants a waiver on character defects to those whose names we see in lights or headlines.

It probably started with Hollywood and spread to the political realm under the guidance of various strategists who saw the potential for "celebritizing" their candidates.

Like I really give a rats ass what a Canadian paper thinks of anything.

I guess the libs have no problem with leaving a person in a car underwater to die.

As has been said many times before......They do, however, have a problem with water boarding Khalil Sheik Mohammad (sp) to save our country from another attack and the lives of thousands of our citizens.....((((shakes head))))

Meanwhile, do I remember another popular website who trashed the wonderful Tony Snow when he died, and he did NOTHING THE AFFECT anyone’s lives. Our everyday lives are worse because of Ted Kennedy. I pray for anyone who dies..but I do not mourn for him.

Chappaquiddick-type people possess a meanness of spirit that goes beyond simple politics.

The only person this could rightfully refer to is Ted Kennedy himself.

Thanks for the ping!

[GOPJ]

[longfellow]

Maybe if Janice Kennedy and the others in the media stopped trying to tell us that Ted Kennedy (& all Kennedys) are supposed to be a moral authority on anything (including healthcare) we would leave them alone.

She certainly didn't have any trouble trashing Sarah Palin and she didn't do anything but tell the truth. I guess Janice Kennedy didn't READ THE BILL like so many here did!

She sounds like a parrot repeating liberal talking points.

Chappaquiddick just happens to be the perfect summation of all Ted Kennedy stood for.

As far as I’m concerned, there are only two variations of “Chappaquiddick-type” people — There are those who slowly suffocate to death in a submerged car and those who callously allow them to do so in order to protect their political careers.

RE: “Not “vision” or “health-care reform,” not “peacemaking”...”

Peacemaking?!?!

If he was a decent and honest man with whom I disagreed on political issues, I would be content to join the love-fest eulogy chorus. But he was neither decent nor honest, and it wasn’t just Chappaquiddick. The senate became a better institution by subtraction at his passing.

RE "Joe Biden said of his old friend, “He was never small.” "

Well said, Joe.

[nomad]

I still piss on Kennedy and all the socialistic garbage he did and stood for.How`s that lefties? Try this article entitled; Liberal Fallout Zones,for his legacy: http://examiner.com/examiner/x-14913-DC-Conservative-Examiner-y2009m8d28-Liberal-Fallout-Zones

[YankeeReb]

He was never small.” No, he never was, ASK THE WAITRESS in the middle of the SANDWICH!

I believe it was Chris "Countrywide" Dodd who was the other side of that sandwich.

"...summation of everything that is small and cribbed and contemptible"

Sure sounds like the democrats to me.
