the epitome of a hypocrisy...Ted Kennedy

[Rooster]

Read the whole article, this is just a quote. If the show fits where it, the law should NOT be changed b/c 5 years ago he wanted changed so the very thing he is doing right now could not happen.

What Mr. Kennedy doesn't volunteer is that he orchestrated the 2004 succession law revision that now requires a special election, and for similarly partisan reasons. John Kerry, the other Senator from the state, was running for President in 2004, and Mr. Kennedy wanted the law changed so the Republican Governor at the time, Mitt Romney, could not name Mr. Kerry's replacement. "Prodded by a personal appeal from Senator Edward M. Kennedy," reported the Boston Globe in 2004, "Democratic legislative leaders have agreed to take up a stalled bill creating a special election process to replace U.S. Senator John F. Kerry if he wins the presidency." Now that the state has a Democratic Governor, Mr. Kennedy wants to revert to gubernatorial appointments

Especially when Mr. Kennedy's motivation for changing the law is so obviously born of partisan interest, not principle.

And this surprises you?

No it does not surprise me, but you are not hearing about it on the mainstream media

I started to put that in my post as well. That part does not surprise me either.

That young lady he abandoned (murdered?) at Chappaquidik (sp?) Mary... will greet that bastard at the Pearly Gate and show him the down escalator.

T. Kennedy is a dirtbag, even factoring in that he's a politician.

Just put and arrow by the door stating, "THIS WAY TO THE BAR".

Who in their right mind (yeah, I know) keeps electing this guy? I mean, really...whether it's Kennedy, Franken, Ted Stevens, or William Jefferson (or a myriad of others), why on earth would you want them representing you in Washington?

Kennedy because he's a Kennedy (the "last" Kennedy), and because he truly represents the views of his constituents.

Well, they will not be voting him in again. He died last night.
