Are you sure they aren’t talking about the one at Disneyland?

Kerry did the same thing with his first wife.

“Again, kind post. I’m not going to comment on Ted Kennedy as my mother and father taught me, the dead are not here any longer to defend themselves. Although, my inner thoughts are similar to many here today.”

i agree, especially within the first 24 hours after their passing. That would be stepping on his family who are mourning their loss.

You actually expected something else? It was almost a forgone conclusion that it would happen.

Sen. Kennedy, last tie to Camelot, dies

I understand 100%!

I disagree with Chappaquiddick Ted on 99.99% politically.

He would have been ZERO but for Big Bro Jack, for sure!

In my estimate, he has always been a zero.

As I have posted before, he is (was) walkin’, talkin’,
livin’, breathin’ proof that there is NO MINIMUM IQ required
for votin’ !!

Well, it would be hypocritical of me to say that I'm sorry to hear about his passing. I honestly don't care – I know it's wrong not to care about someone – but I simply don't have a sympathetic reaction. They guy was a bad apple.

The blood from the death of an innocent woman was on his hands, and he escaped severe criminal punishment and the people of his state enabled him, returning him to the US Senate for decades.  On the contrary, he enjoyed the adulation and admiration of the media, and from many in the public at large.  He was treated like royalty and had exercised his government power for way too many years.

I know God is going to judge him, but that's not to say that he shouldn't face accountability on earth for his deeds.  He deserves more than just some criticism, in my opinion. Let God judge his eternal soul, and let us remember what he did during his time on earth.

24 hours is my rule
I gave it to novak even though he was a vociferous Israel hater and pro-arab at every opportunity. The left hated him? he was also against the war in iraq!

Though I grant that the Kopechne incident does make this more than just about a man who had very bad ideas.
