Alec Baldwin: 'Don't Name a Bridge After Ted'

A word of advice to liberals who wish to pay tribute to Ted Kennedy: don't mention his name in the same sentence as the word "bridge" since it will undermine whatever else you wrote. Unfortunately for Alec Baldwin, that is exactly what he did in his Huffington Post tribute to the deceased senator:

Don't name a bridge after Ted.

Yes, Baldwin did write a lot more about Ted Kennedy in his tribute but that one sentence alone pretty much overwhelms whatever else he wrote. However, to be fair to Alec, let us look at some of the rest of his tribute which almost everyone will forget because of his incredibly poor choice of words above:

Too late to take it back, Alec. Obviously he didn't have an editor carefully check the wording his tribute.

[PJ-Comix]

PING!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Funny. Such creativity, Alec.

ROFL

[clamper1797]

How about the Kopekne-Kennedy Bridge

[null and void]

Is this:

The After Ted Bridge?

[maggief]

Don’t name a women’s shelter after Alec.

[org.whodat]

How about the trillion dollar tunnel, you can call it ted follies and put a hookers picture on the entrance.

[MetaThought]

I know!

Let’s name a sandwich.

How does the Kennedy-Dodd sandwich sound to you ?

LOL!

The author sounds like an arrogant, controlling scold.

[Tax Government]

Democrat liberals are so desperate for political influence (ironic, isn’t it) that they will forgive, ignore and suppress evidence of clear signs of malfeasance and criminality in their heroes.

The democrat party is now largely populated by hopeless, criminally inclined people whose only high purpose is acquiring raw power.

America is too good for them.

Let’s name a sandwich.

Let's name the fall of a previously free constitutional republic...

[ditto h]

The bridge to no where.

[depressed in 06]

Too late, the Kennedy Healthcare bill is like driving off a bridge, the passenger gets screwed.

[shadeaud]

Maybe a brand of unblended Scotch( imported legally this time from Canada) Brandname could be called Teddy’s with the slogan ‘’Drink,Drive and Dream you can swim like Him’’

The author sounds like an arrogant, controlling scold.

Hello from the "arrogant, controlling scold."

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Or a University...

[ditto h]

Sorry..nowhere.

[dfwgator]

You are worthless Arec Baldwin...

[NautiNurse]

The Kennedy Bottoms Up Memorial Bridge.

For his scotch glass and the Oldsmobile.

Hello from the "arrogant, controlling scold."

LOL, sorry. Perhaps I'm misreading what you said. Do you think that Alec used an "incredibly poor choice of words".
