Senator Ted Kennedy has died.

[not2worry]

Saw posted on DRUDGE.

May he RIP.

Now the circus begins.

Would be curious how much the Government is going to pay his wife for the rest of her life.

What were the choices and cost of Ted's end of life Government Paid Care.

Will Obamacare give the rest of us who have paid Kennedy's bills the kind of benefits???

Found this TK quote online. Does anyone know if he really said it?

"I just couldn't bear the thought of anyone drowning in a river while trying to make a better life for themselves." --- Senator Ted Kennedy speaking on amnesty for those crossing the Rio Grande.

[freedumb2003]

Millions of Vietnamese and Mary Jo have greeted him and sent him on his way down — way down.

It will be my great pleasure to p!ss on his grave if I get the chance.

ted, you commie murderer — the world is better off without you.

Now that the last of that evil family is gone, our national nightmare is finally over.

A few years back he named his dog "Splash".That fact alone makes this quote completely credible,IMO.

Praying for the repose of his soul.

Let those who loved him bury their dead.

There is time enough to argue our political differences at a later time.

Power grab prior to death—Teddy trying to keep the liberals in charge in Congress—they wrote that law to prevent Republicans/others from gaining power—looks like it might come back to bite them in the butt!

Everyone needs to remain civil about this, and I have it on good authority that the Admin Mods have received "special" posting guidelines for these very serious "Death Threads" against US Senators here at FR. Here is that secret memo that I obtained through very great risk to my person. If you never hear from me again after this, just address messages to me, care of Club Gitmo, "FR Special Annex". They'll know where to find me...

SUBJ: Special posting guidelines for Ted Kennedy "Death Threads"

All right Troops, listen up! I have had repeated "Twitters" from Michele Malkin overnight demanding that I take steps here at Free Republic to keep the talk about the death of Senator Ted Kennedy civil. She tells me that there is a serious increase in the incidences of "death threads" about US Senators and demands that I lay down some rules in advance of any problems. I will be watching these FR "Death threads" very closely over the coming days and I want you all to do the same, and we want to avoid any unpleasant statements on these sad days leading up to Senator Kennedy's funeral. In that spirit, let me provide some special posting guidelines for these "Death Treads" here at FR.

Members reflecting that the Senator is no need of embalming fluid would be considered "unpleasant".

But a politely worded inquiry from a Member asking if it is true that the Senator's cremation will only require a wick and a match would be acceptable, abet close to the edge.

However, any suggestion by any member at FR that the Senator should be "buried at pond" will be severely frowned upon.

I hope this helps. Thank you for a brief moment of your time but really I must go, as I suddenly have this funny craving for some Chivas Regal and a Polish Secretary.

Thank you for your continued support of Free Republic.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks.

And g’mornin’ !! :)

Timing is EVERYTHING, sometimes.

I was AWAKE when this news hit, but ...

I didn’t see it posted on FR and didn’t
have my Talk News on at THAT time of the
night.

So I casually get up and turn the radio on
and hear Mark Davis talkin’ about Ted Kennedy.
He didn’t hafta SAY Kennedy had passed. That
he was talkin’ about him, was enough to know
his time had come.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

May his family find solace in this time of grief.

May his soul receive compassion and mercy in equal measure to that which he showed toward the most innocent while he lived.

[Monkey Face]

Wouldn’t we all?

That’s OK. He’s beyond our judgement, now, and will get whatever he has earned.

*SMOOCH*
