The Teddy Eulogy

Oh, MYGOD, Did you watch Joe Kennedy II and his yacht-racing eulogy at the Kennedy Library?

I couldn't believe it and the total elitism that surely appealed to the sentiments of the African-Americans (who didn't show on the cortege route, but provided the Gospel back ground). What a total embarassment!

Then came the other half of the waitress sandwich, Chris Dodd, wallowing on the floor of the Brasserie, to give kudos to "Teddy" for being with him in all of his losses. Too bad Teddy didn't give him advice on his loss of ethics.

Who scripted this disaster -- David (call me Lee Atwater) Axelrod?

[crymeariver]

It’s totally partisan...I knew it would be! They are laughing their heads off at Dodd’s partisan jokes. Ha ha ha....

[NautiNurse]

It's a funerally! The crowd is applauding. Chris Dodd just brought up health care reform. No doubt TOTUS will too.

You guys have strong stomachs. I can’t bear to watch horror shows.

I turned FOX on, and a “so-called” Catholic priest
was praising Kennedy in the most glorious terms—how the angels of heaven were greeting him and other such garbage.
This is a man—Ted Kennedy—who was 100% supportive of
abortions. I will pray for his soul; I will not listen to some sell-out Catholic priest ( I am a Catholic) who
nearly canonizes this self-serving blow-hard who has the blood of innocent babies on his hands. Amen.

Oh, MYGOD, Did you watch Joe Kennedy II...

No. This is a prime example while I simply do not watch any broadcast news. Period.

It's the Wellstone thing all over again. I turned it off after hearing about 2 minutes of Joe II. What a non-connecting mental midget. I guess so much family money, that NONE of them has actually earned, has bred out of the Kennedy clan gene pool common sense and decency and character. Some would say they never really had class, going back to Papa Joe.
Here they are eulogizing a drunk, womanizer and nasty politician. (lets go the the video tapes of the Bork or Alito hearings)
Hope he meets his maker and has to answer for his 40 years of deception re the girl he killed. May he rot in hell.

Did anyone mention that The Swimmer’s favorite jokes were about Chappaquiddick? He apparently loved them!
How crass this fat steaming pile of s*** was.

I think Teddy’s Contribution to the Planet should be summed up as Fertilizer. In so many ways.

[SE Mom]

LOL!

There was part of me that was going to watch it for the whole “moment in history” thing (plus I haven’t seen a good Wellstone moment in awhile).

Wwhen I first heard the reverence in Shep’s voice at 7 pm I simply couldn’t do it and went to my book instead:)

[NautiNurse]

The funerally even has a Master of Ceremonies.

OMG--John McCain is the speaker now.

[B-Cause]

We come to bury Kennedy, not to praise him.
The evil that he did will live after him;
Any good will be grossly exaggerated.

[SE Mom]

NO WAY?!?! A Master of Ceremonies? Get out!

See? I was smart not to watch- McCain is speaking...;)

[NautiNurse]

You are gonna owe me two pounds of fine dark chocolate for watching this nonsense and reporting on it.

[NautiNurse]

John McCain received a standing ovation for his eulogy.

Next is a video about The Swimmer's life, narrated by--Ted Kennedy himself.

[BenLurkin]

Sorry.

Wasn’t watching.

[crymeariver]

McCain didn’t stop to hug Victoria like the rest of the speakers did. Victoria and the family didn’t appear to like it at all. The video is supposed to make all of us change our minds and approve of govt. healthcare. It’s sooo obvious it’s funny.
