Kennedy did it without the total reliance on the teleprompter

Stay classy, HH.

 

Classy. :

Only took 13 posts.

 

I'm personally sorry he's dead, as he was a worthy opponent. Still, there's that pesky business.

 

And sadly we all knew it was coming.

It's only a matter of time until the proliferation of "Good riddance" posts, blog entries and columns from the right wing.

RIP Teddy.

 

Sirs, Madames,

When I was in seventh grade it was the day of our grade-school grad ceremony when I heard about RFK's death. I remember tearing up with Teddy's eulogy ... nothing else like it.

I'm sure the trolls will cluster. Okay, I'll concede the point: He was no great orator like the Decider or Vice. Still, he tried to leave his country better than he found it and his ambitions were aimed higher than some attemot to turn executive privilege into the Cone of Silence.

Great senator of our time? Well, tenure, yes; if you're a liberal, yes. But let's be honest, if a GOP senator with his tenure and a Mary Jo in his past had come along, he wouldn't be labeled great, would he?

And let's be careful about using the emotional manipulation of the man's death as a reason to push through a health care bill that's not sensible. Having said that, RIP.

 

Oh, and his legacy might have changed markedly had you guys on the left took him over the Peanut Farmer in 1980. For sure, we'd had a true battle between left and right in Nov. 80.

 

If HH were 1/1,000th the man Ted Kenedy was, he would never have stooped to that post. BUt there's never justification for morons.

RIP to one of the giants of our country...a great senator, a great orator, a man who -- despite his failings and weaknesses -- truly cared about people and making this a better world to live in.

 

I couldn't have put it any better than that.

 

Even though he had been ill it still comes as a shock. Knew things were bad yesterday when a graphics op friend of mine at the nbc affiliate here was put on standby.
