Hmmm, this should be a favorable development in the political arena...

Too bad there is no life after death. If there were, Teddy, The Swimmer would have an interesting meeting with Maryjo Kopekne, the woman whose death he cause when that drunken s.o.b. drove his car off the Dyke Bridge in Chapaquidic. Then he swam for his life leaving Maryjo to die by drowning in the car. Nice fellow that Kennedy. Only a Kennedy could get away with an outrage like that, with not a single charge being brought against him and his political career intact.

Rot in Hell, Teddy, The Swimmer.

Great another Kennedy passing. I live in Hyannis right near them. Everytime one of them dies, its a total zoo here for a week. Now for the next 2 weeks every time a Kennedy takes a crap we will hear about it.

I never understood why the media is so obsessed with that family. Let them morn in peace.

Ted Kennedy's several accomplishments speak for themselves. If you have done better than this, or if you have not benefited from anything he has done, they critize away. . .

I am VERY worried about how his passing will effect the sales of alchohol. Now that he is gone the sales drop could effect the whole industry.

I don't understand how Kennedy can die from cancer in an organ that most democrats lack. :P

If Ted Kennedy had driven a V.W. Beetle he would have been president.

You probably didn't even know about a quarter of those before you cut and pasted your post. I personally have done far better things that Ted Kennedy by not deciding that having a good time was more important than a human life.

What goes around comes around, too bad it didn't happen sooner. Now that he's dead, we can finally get that wind farm we need to fix our electrical power problems in this state. He was the chief opponent to the Cape Wind project because if it were built, he would've seen a tiny white blip on the horizon from his back porch. What a great man he was, deciding that his backyard view was more important than the power problems of the state that kept electing him (for some reason), and committing murder without even having to pay a fine.

JFK was a great man, Ted was a fat bastard

I was late for the bus and pasted quickly. Perhaps you missed the cut and paste that Ted Kennedy co sponsored the Americans with Disability Act.

besides, no one ever seems to remember that Mary Jo had a choice to get into that car or not. This idea that women are so unqualified to not be responsible for their own actions annoys me.

Having never been able to fathom Yank politics, I'm confused as to just what he stood for ...

But unless Caroline becomes a Senator, then that's the end of the Kennedy dynasty.

Wind farms are weak sources of power anyway. they only generate 1/25th the max output of a nuclear reactor complex.
