Sen. Ted Kennedy Dead

Bringing in all the non-white immigrants will lead to the eventual race war in America. When it happens you can thank Senator Kennedy.
 
I thought MaGZ was pro-race war. So shouldn't he be thanking Kennedy?
 
He drove Mary Jo Kopecne off the Chappaquiddick bridge... Oh, wait, that's not how the song goes.

When it doesn't happen, you can thank reality.

I feel as though I should point this out:

Death threw alcoholism, drunk driving, a plane crash, and a brain tumor to try and kill him. It took a second round of brain cancer to kill this guy.

Comparatively, Teddy Roosevelt went to war a few times and got shot before dying in his sleep. Teddy Roosevelt never traded a woman to Death for a Get Out of Death Free Card, though.

He did buy a Medal of Honor though.

Of course lots of people are involved in fatal car crashes see Laura Bush. She ran a stop sign and killed a class mate in highschool.
 
Whatever his failings were, (and he had serious failings), Edward Kennedy was sponsor or the force behind many of the most important pieces of legislation in this country over the last fourty years. He was an incredibly powerful Senator. A pretty fair amount of what this country is today is a result of his work.

I'm guessing many people aren't particularly happy about that either, and I have no problem with people criticizing the recently deceased, but at least it would make sense to judge him on those fourty-plus years of history, rather than one one day of it.

Actually, I thank him for giving us one more opportunity to notice who all the racist Nazi scumbags in that country are.

Shouldn't he be judged on both?
 
Tricky said:
Yes, but proportionately. Should Dick Cheney be judged by that one day when he shot somebody in the face? Turns out it wasn't tragic, but it could well have been.

Hey, he apologized for that! The victim, that is...
 
The difference between a Kennedy wedding and a Kennedy funeral: one less drunk.

What, too soon?
 
Does anyone know if MA got anything passed where they can appoint a temporary replacement, or do the Dems lose that seat until an election is held in some 3-4 months?
 
I've always felt a little sorry for Ted. He was the baby of the family, manifestly unready for the role of patriarch that was thrust upon him with the deaths of his older brothers. Although he eventually grew into his Senate seat, he was not able to handle his other duties as well.

Thank God for Roger Mudd!

Similarities between Laura's accident and Teddy's accident:

1) Laura failed to report accident for nine hours. No
2) Laura left her passenger to die while she fled the scene. No
3) Laura called two buddies to figure out a story that would protect her from responsibility. No
4) Laura used her political connections to influence the Texas legal system. No
