“Let us all remember Mary Jo Kopekne who died July 18, 1969.”

Fox just briefly covered it. They’re not giving him a very flattering review....drinking, etc.

Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:

He described the Iraq war as a fraud “made up in Texas” as part of political strategy — accused the President of the US of "telling lie, after lie, after lie", in order to go to war in Iraq.

Amen. The recent generation of Kennedys lacked his political skills, thank God. We have heard the last of them, I hope.

I have nothing positive for any Kennedy I can think of... Eunice was alright. Joe, Jr. died on a WWII combat mission. John's term as President was too short to really know what he would have done (although I suspect he wouldn't recognize today's Democrat/communist party). Same with Robert, although he was certainly on board the anti-war movement with Walter Cronkite and the college kids. I always suspected that John, Jr. was a conservative. Other than them, I could spit on the rest, or pee on their graves, whatever....

AGREE with you 100%!

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for this tyrannical, treasonous, murdering slob.

Fox is running on the Ticker the info about Mary Jo....while showing pictures of Kennedy. At least they are running the ticker. I doubt we’ll see that info anywhere else.

For me....thats the phoniest part of the Kennedy legacy....some Catholic Church will will praise him...even tho they stood for everything the Church is against!

The roof should fall in on any Cath. church who holds a ceremony for this murderer!

I hope he is brought to justice for what appears a tyrannical and wicked life. If I'm wrong, I hope I'm forgiven.
So you think he should go to hell but if he goes to heaven instead you hope god will forgive you because you disagree with his judgement.
Correct?

I suppose there will be some of this, but it won't carry much weight. The dead belong to the past.

You're right. It will be a lot of noise from the Democrats and their organ grinder monkeys in the media--but it won't change the mind of a single voter now opposed to govt. deathcare. My biggest fear however is that it will move a few imbeciles in Congress like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins as well as enough Blue Dogs in the House to allow Dems to pass a public option. So be it. 2010 will be a Republican tidal wave if they do.

Well well...as much as he fought to live...he lived only 16 months after diagnosis...

Under the HC bill they are pushing, he would not have been treated at all during those months! (except senators don't want the HC we will be subjected to)!!!!

Good riddance. May he rot in hell, especially regards what he did to Mary Jo.
