to learn that those workers are not installing a new aquarium in the lobby.

I’m old enough to remember brother Jack and how he was demagogued by the press and most voters and how he backed out on his promise of air support during the “bay of pigs” invasion. Every where I went people were disgusted with his performance in office. Then the tragic day in Dallas. That one event turned him into a national hero, the greatest president of all time. He went from a failed official to a cult hero over night. How fickle are the American people. Does anyone agree or am I just imagining this?
And by the way do you remember this? “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”….I guess that was before the “Dear Leader’s” time.

Rush was wrong about one thing - the bill did not pass before Ted did…but he was right about the dems using Kenndy’s death as a rallying cry…..and as other posters have said - the dems have no shame…..

On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh suggested that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) would be dead by the time health care reform legislation passes. “Before it’s all over, it’ll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill,” the talk show host says. He says President Obama has moved on to health care because he can’t solve the economic crisis.

We don’t need to see the Certificate Of Live Death… just show us The Note from Ted.

Using his death and the unending press adoration to put a plug in for health care legislation as a ramp up to the Democratic astrotrufing campaign being planned between now and labor day, which the media will do their best to turn into a “groundswell of support” and “repudiation of deceit” etc, ad naseum. This also sweeps the CIA controversy of the lede and fills the dead-time of Obama’s vacatioin.

Furthermore, the Democrats now have the time to get the MA legislature to approve of the governor appointing his successor, either long-term or until the special election - and installing his widow, who will provide another vote on the Senate floor and be able to make emotional pleas to “win one for the Gipper” and otherwise push the legacy issue.

At least, this would seem to be the Democratic game plan.

However, whether Ted was hurried along to his death is highly speculative, given that death follows no one’s time schedule. But this doesn’t really matter; what matters is recognizing the game plan.

Did he?

I guess if the left can pawn Clinton off as the first ‘black’ president it isn’t that much of stretch for President Obama to be the last Kennedy brother.

Have they no shame? At long last have they no shame?

Careful, Chrissy…remember the Kennedy Curse.

Instead of passing the torch to the young agressive men who’d been the Lt’s and Captains in WWII and who were willing to pay any price and bear any burden, Comrade Obama has taken the torch and is using it to burn down the Country.

…whose love child is he? We may never find out unless we see his birth certificate.

I didn’t realize that Chris Matthews was a secret “brither”. Either that, or he’s just slipped up and revealed that he has seen Obama’s birth certificate.

Out with it, Chris…tell us the rest of the story. You can’t hold back now.

trying to out-ridiculous each other? What kind of prize is Immelt offering anyway, there name on a wind farm powered by GE wind turbines?

Geez…

and ridiculous assertion of the day. OK, yeah Zero is the next’s Kennedy brother, come-on lay off the pills or come out of the darn closet with your man-crush all ready. Because heh, its not obvious or anything.

The violent component of the IRA in Northern Ireland with their indiscriminate bombing of civilians and vigilante tactics towards “collaborators” for instance represent tactics that can only be labeled terroristic.

In more recent times, the IRA turned to political negotiation and gradually have purged out the violent and lawless elements, but in the bad old days, it’s hard to avoid putting on the terrorist label on the IRA.

And families like the Kennedys had not compunction about supplying money for weapons and bombs to carry out these violent actions.

And charge the government of Northern Ireland with committing genocide is totally “out of touch”.
