Good bye, Ted.

I’ll miss your drunken singing at DemCon.

I’ll miss nothing else.

To borrow from Rush, if Teddy was the lion of the senate, the we’re the gazelles…

Dedicated to Big Ted Kennedy:

Big Ted’s dead , he was a great old pig
He’d eat most anything, never wore a wig
Now he’s gone like snow on the water, good bye

He was getting old so the farmer said
“Sold him to the butcher just to make a little bread”
Now he’s gone like snow on the water, don’t cry

Ted may be a moo cow next time around
Giving sweet milk to the people in the town
He’ll be whatever he will choose on air or sea or ground

The sows are busy with the piglets fine
I’d put them in the forest now if they were mine
cause I know they like acorns and I don’t like bacon

Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Sham sham sharoo, oh sham sham sharoo
Big Ted’s sold and gone

He came into the kitchen while we were away
He took all the rice and he forgot to pay
He´s gone like snow on the water, good bye

He never cared to do the boogaloo dance
All he ever thought about was food and romance
And he’s gone like snow on the water, good bye

Ted may be a moo cow next time around
Giving sweet milk to the people in the town
He’ll be whatever he will choose on air or sea or ground

The sows are busy with the piglets fine
I’d put them in the forest now if they were mine
cause I know they like acorns and I don’t like bacon

I vote that they just say the hell with it, appoint Princess Caroline to Uncle Teddy’s seat, and not even bother with the special election. For that matter, just do away with the regular elections altogether and make it a lifetime appointment.

The sad thing is, I’ll bet a LOT of Mass. voters would happily go along with that.

I was thinking the same thing earlier.

Sen. Edward Kennedy’s legacy is likely to be a demonstration of the truth that Democrats are not willing to play by the same rules (or laws) they demand Republicans follow.
