It's sad for MA since John Kerry is ****ing useless. Maybe they'll get lucky and Barney Frank will want to change houses.

Or maybe they'll get really unlucky and Romney will get that Senate seat he wanted so badly back in the day.

ETA: It's only sad in the political sense. He was still a drunk driving ****************.

He's an interesting study.

Does altruism later in life make up for the fact that he ****ing drove a woman off a bridge to her death?

Hell if I know.
 
I don't know either. He was a hell of a Senator and he did some good ****, but he was a drunk driving ****************.

This seems to be par for the course for Kennedys though, contrasting good works with dickshittery.
 
I'd venture that Bobby was a notable exception. I'm not aware of anything shady RFK ever pulled.
 
Is that the one Joe Kennedy lobotomized and basically threw away?

And by the way, if we're making the argument for Kennedy *******-ness being a genetic condition, you couldn't ask for a better pedigree than Joe Kennedy, Sr. Hard to find a bigger dickhead than a guy who backed the Nazis and discarded his own daughter.

ETA: Never mind. I just remembered who Mary Jo Kopechne was. The Kennedy daughter I was thinking of was Rosemary.

I recall hearing that he was also hitting Marilyn Monroe. I wouldn't necessarily call it shady, however.
 
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.

No sir. Everybody was in those days. Hell, I bet Mao was at least getting a handie or two.

Hey Teddy got shot during a speech and finished it before he was taken away. That's how a Rough Rider does things.

Teddy R is like the turn of the century Chuck Norris. Example:

Thomas R. Marshall said of [TR's] death "Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight."

In the chest. Where he was keeping the folded up papers of his speech.

This is the real complaint about Obama and the teleprompter. The Secret Service need to do work.
 
Yeah. Grave dancing is only appropriate for evil people. Ted Kennedy, whilst possessed of certain ****head qualities, was not evil.

If you knew Teddy R. was a racist you would not be saying such nice things about him.
