Thank you!

 
For me, pretty much the last straw at the funeral of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy was certainly a familiar tactic: when all else fails, shove a moppet on stage, give him or her a script, and let the adorable tyke lisp the syllables that would never b…

Dr. Zero,

You forgot the cheating stuff at Harvard but, hey, with as many fish in the barrel as the Kennedy clan gives us, it’s just not possible to kill every fish.

And also don’t forget his daddy money bags pulling influence for him during the Korean war to have him sent to Paris instead of Korea. I wonder who went in his place and what happened to him. Does anyone know if there were any unsolved drownings in Paris during the Korean war?

A little off-topic, but maybe not a new Rasmussen poll:

57% Would Like to Replace Entire Congress

So let’s see. 57% for replacing them. Must be at least 10% for hanging them. So at least 67% against congress.

The rest of us can neither afford nor tolerate anyone like Ted Kennedy, ever again.

Unfortunately -

The tax evasion goes on,

the hypocrisy endures,

the unmitigated gall still lives,

and the supply of mindless fawning sheeple shall never die.

After years of reading Hot Air… I was just about to leave when the “Green Room” arrived, and then Dr. Zero renewed my enthusiasm to check the site everyday once again.

its nice to have a reprieve from “I hate Glenn Beck except for when Michelle says the exact same thing at the exact same time… and I have to pretend to agree”. oh did I say that out loud?! At any rate… I’ve enjoyed reading Dr. Zero with great gusto whoever he or she may be.

Allah, Ed – maybe it’s time for a threesome on a regular basis?

Is offensive, I’ll give the Moderator that, but it is NOT a rumor.

I, too, have been blacklisted by the great HuffPo. I consider it an honor, actually.

For those who believed in his legislative agenda, and, correctly, believed that it required someone named “Kennedy” to accomplish it one innocent life was collateral damage in the effort to socialize as much of the US economy as they could.

While there ARE things worth dying for…

…there are very few things worth KILLING for.

And I am hard pressed, VERY hard pressed, to think of ANYTHING that Teddy did that would in any way, shape or form “balance” Mary Jo’s murder.

In fact, just the opposite.

Instead of redemption, he used his “get out of jail free” card to bludgeon and coarsen public debate and public service.

The only good thing I could see coming out of this would be for the liberal media to tell Democrats, “This is it, no more passes. We’re going to treat you exactly the same way we’ve treated Republicans.” I could live with that.

There wouldn’t be many democrats left if they did that!

The idea that political positions convey a supreme virtue, trumping abhorrent personal behavior, should be buried with Kennedy.

Exactly. I remember this idea being shoved down our throats about 10 years ago, by the defenders of the impeached Bill Clinton, who during his boyhood was lucky enough to get his picture taken shaking the hand of Ted’s older brother.

Thank you Doc. You did it for me and for everyone else who endured the hypocrisy of the last few days.

Amen for the good Doctor!

If you do not make a living by your pen, you should. You have a “happy talent for composition and remarkable felicity of expression.”

Standing up clapping and cheering

How about the congressional creep of the week? Probably not enough weeks to ever get it done.

As the son of Ireland born and bred parents, there was a time when there was a picture of JFK on the wall of every Irish household. No more.
