"We live in Edward Kennedy's America not only in the consequential legislation that he sponsored and saw through the Senate, but also in the afterlife of the vulgar political sham on which Senator Kennedy relied..."
And this:
"No doubt Kennedy the man was a despicable cad, a notorious rogue, and, until late in life, a certified drunk."
And this:
"I can’t say that I’ll miss him...Ted Kennedy supported the expansion of the welfare state and a culture of dependency on government, made all the more tragic given how ensnared his life was to dependency. He should have known better given his own life and that of his family."
And these from the comments section of me own local fishwrap:
"He had a miserable death; only for that I'm sorry. Politics aside as this's a "non-partisan" issue: I have no sympathy for anyone who gets away with murder. Yes, dropping ones car in the drink, abandoning another person in that car, leaving them to drown a terrifying death, hurdly swimming away & NOT reporting this accident until confering with others the following day is a crime. He did not deserve any political office."
"This fixation on the left RE "hate." There are instances in which hate is appropriate, such as for racists (what's with affirmative action?). Ed (Ted?) Kennedy definitely deserves hate."
Oh man, I can't wait to get nose-to-nose with some teabaggers tomorrow night.
"hurdly"?
