Teddy’s funeral will be the Wellstone Memorial cubed and on steriods.
Teddy was a force and the number one money raiser for Republicans for decades. He was what he was and did not apologize, no misdirection about his beliefs as one sees with Obama. Teddy never deviated from his leftist beliefs throughout his career - he was consistent. I will never forget that insidious speech about Judge Bork - he will answer for those lies. Generally, Teddy was considered inept in his family, the Old Man pushed Joe, Joe pushed Jack, Jack pushed Bob, Bobby pushed Ted and Ted fell on his ass. He was a buffoon, kicked out of Harvard for cheating, to the underwater escapades to the Au Bar incident where he wakes his nephew on Good Friday to go out drinking, and then the horrible rape accusation, and getting drunk on a plane and screaming. He was so far removed from Jack and Bobby it was like having a mentally challenged cousin - but by the sheer force of the family he was made a senator for life. Even the raft trips that Bobby had run for the kids and Teddy took over turned into complete duds. Teddy had fulfilled everyone’s dissappointment in him. He could have been president but it was never to be. He was smart enough to run with what he had and never deviate to be successful, he was smart enough to know that he couldn’t maintain two opposing ideas at the same time, so his remedy was not to have them.
He has to answer his God about abortion, while the priests bless his body.
