What I find most telling is the adoration heeped upon RedDeadTed when he died by liberals all over this country.

The guy was a homicidal drunk but he was a good liberal so its all good. This is what that side does.

Unlike the self-Righteous who are too stupid to understand the ONLY difference between Ted Kennedy's driving record and those of Bush and Cheney who both have DUIs is pure dumb luck?

I once read an account from some conspiracy group which basically said Kennedy was run off that bridge by a car load of men trying to kill him and the he swam to the mainland because they knew he'd gotten out of the car and were still looking for him. He turned himself in to that local Sheriff, a friend of the family, for protection. Supposedly, the message to him was crystal clear.

Given that both of his brothers were assassinated and, knowing what we know now about the mysterious deaths of other Kennedy's, including John, Jr, what say you about that?

Kennedy said later he had made a wrong turn and drove off the bridge. He did not explain why he did not report the incident to police, nor sought help from a nearby lighted house. Kennedy never did any jail time or pay any other substantial penalty.
Four years ago this country learned that bankers had repackaged toxic loans and sold them to the world as AAA investments. Four years ago we learned that international bankers stole trillions of $$$ from investors. Today, not one of those bankers has been arrested. Instead, we gave them more money because they are "too big to fail". Four years ago we learned that we'll be screwed coming and going, and no administration (including Obama's) has the balls to do the right thing.

Who cares about Kennedy with the reality we are living today?

I understand that for some liberals it is very difficult to grasp the difference between killing someone and not killing someone.

Nothing mysterious about Little John's death.

And nothing mysterious about Teddy driving off a bridge, drunk, as usual.

And for the delusional self-Righteous it's apparently impossible to understand the sameness between driving while intoxicated and drivng while intoxicated, eh?
