Actually my first thought was that it isn't a good idea to have every current and past president in one spot.

I figured it was a safety issue.

Did Ted attend the funeral of Mary Jo Kopekne, or did he say his farewells before drunkenly bailing from the sinking car and going home to sleep off his "grief?". I'm serious here, the fascination some Americans have with the Kennedey clan, "American Camelot," etc baffles the hell out of me. They're a family of ridiculously wealthy, drunken womanizers... how does that resonate in any way whatsoever with the common man?

Wow that is so true.

I am so glad I'm not wealthy or get buzzed and get all the babes.


Regarding the Kopekne incident:
Every human being has self-survival instincts, it is an innate part of our human nature.

I'm not suggesting his were valiant, but it is part of human nature nonetheless.

Does it really freaking matter? I care not if not one single person attends my funeral. He is dead, move on. We all die. He was a Senator big whoop. You glorify these people undeservedly so.

I don't blame Bush sr for not showing up. I wouldn't wanna go to that murderer's funeral either.


loved his excuses back then

"errr-a errr-a 10 hours yea that's the ticket"

I respect Ted Kennedy's service to his state of Massachusetts and his many positive contributions over long years in the Senate. I watched his memorial service on cable.

That said, it's just possible Bush, Sr. didn't like him very much. It could be Kennedy opposed some legislation that Bush favored or maybe there was just a personality clash.

Whatever it was, it doesn't make a difference to me.

I don't think a person should go to the funeral of somebody they aren't sincerely fond or respectful of.

If he wasnt a kennedy nobody would care. Im ready for the media to drop the subject. If it was anyone but a Kennedy the coverage would be very limited. Japan is having elections right now, on the great scheme of things that is a little more important than one of "Americas Royal Family" dying.... one big yawn here.

I think this whole thread is a joke. Ha ha!

Well, i, for one, love the Kennedys, they represented the class that was this country, and compared to these stupid bafoons who have been leading the country for the past years, KILLING MILLIONS, just for the hell of it, just for the fun of a fake attack, just for the hell of it, sending people to wars that were and are PHONEY WARS, just to accomplish their agenda,
so many CRIMINALS, also drunk on Satanism and Evil....AND YOU ALL KNOW THOSE BASTARDS ARE ALL CRIMINALS, and they're not done yet.....
When you put this whole scenario together, damn it, it doesnt seem much for a MAN to go off the road, perhaps in a drunken stupor and kill ONE person, who did not deserve to die, but it was an accident...damn it.....

WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS DOING TO US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IS CRIMINAL, OF THE HIGHEST ORDER,....

DONT BE STUPID- COMPARE TED KENNEDY WITH GEORGE AND CHENEY AND I ASK YOU, WHO IS MORE SINISTER, WHO WHO WHO???????

YOU GUYS DONT EVEN CARE, RIGHT? WHO IS MORE EVIL?
YOU SEEM TO FORGET ALL THOSE INNOCENT LIVES DEAD AND LOST IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CHILDREN, AT HOME, BLACK OPS, FEARMONGERING,




I WILL TAKE A DEAD KENNEDY AND MAKE THEM A SAINT compared to all the evil the past couple of administrations have inflicted on THE WHOLE WORLD.

VACCINES ANYONE??????
