Ted Kennedy bashing = good times

Re-cycled is Re-sponsible!

What's the difference between Esther Williams and Mary Jo Kopechne?

Props to the headline writer!

Wow, EMP, talk about dating yourself.

To answer your question: A lesson or two.

I don't see how that slug remains after all these years. Maybe some one should put one of those DUI bumbers stickers on his car. I wonder when the Kennedy curse will befall him.
 
2003-09-24 03:54:57 PM
Drop it, already. Enough bashing. This was decades ago, and has no relevance to anything. Quit bothering Sen. Kennedy. If he had really done anything wrong, his constituents would have removed him years ago.

For the 99.5% of Farkers who weren't alive at the time...Who the fark is Mary Jo Kopechne?

Now I feel old.
 
2003-09-24 03:56:29 PM
Bumbers stickers?
 
2003-09-24 03:56:32 PM
I heard the ceremony was held on a grassy knoll.

You know what they say " A Blond in every Pond. "

I wonder if they'll name a street corner in Texas after Pickles Bush's old boyfriend.... that she ran over and killed?

So...they named it that in 1994, and put up signs (covered in garbage bags) in March 2002.
So they are just taking the garbage bags off the signs.

Yeah, by Post standards, I guess that would be news.
 
2003-09-24 04:00:38 PM
How is this news? According to the article, the City Council renamed the reservoir nine years ago, and the signs were put up 18 months ago, so what is this story about? Apparently Christopher Ward, commissioner of the city Department of Environmental Protection, has a good PR agent, or someone at the AP owes him a favor.

Please, for the love of God, tell me you are kidding Gromky.
 
2003-09-24 04:10:11 PM
Ahhhh. "A bridge over troubled waters.".

2003-09-24 04:13:23 PM
hmmm...named her after a reservoir, huh? Must have been reminded of the water weight gain she'd get when she was PMS'ing...
 
2003-09-24 04:17:02 PM
Why is someone digging for gold in that reservoir?
 
2003-09-24 04:22:32 PM
Gromky: The people of Mass. would vote him out if they weren't brain-dead leftists.

Riigghhtt. Murder committed by the wealthy elite should always simply be shrugged off. Ted Kennedy is a farking asshat and should be strung up from the nearest tree (assuming it can hold his bloated carcass).

Isn't it a law that you people have to say 'Tax-a-chusetts' whenever you talk trash about that state?

Did you hear the news? Dinosaurs are extinct, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and there are these things called "computers" that will change the world.

given the frequency of assassination by "lone nuts" of potentially politcally powerful men at this time, I'd have to wonder about a frame job here.


There is some evidence of shenanigans in this case going both ways.


but hey, conviction in the court of public opinion seems the norm these days.

*Mayor Quimby type voice..

When I last saw MaryJoe, she..ah..was breathing quite normally..face down in the watahh.

/Calls brother Bobby to come and clean up this mess.
 
2003-09-24 05:05:46 PM
It's funny that Ted is the one that escaped assassination, and the right calls for his blood.


Just get an assassin you dumbies and quit your ineffective whining.

Let's not forget that the Bush Regime is complicit in allowing hijacked airliners slam into the WTC and the Pentagon.

/ Osama didn't have the ability to call NORAD and order them to delay intercept.

What, no Jacqueline Kennedy Oasis jokes? Is that one too obvious, or does it just hurt too much, like a good pun should?
 
2003-09-24 05:29:42 PM
Has anyone ever seen Teddy up close? I saw him last winter and he doesn't look good. He's farking huge, and he lumbers around like Sasquatch.
 
2003-09-24 05:45:31 PM
Enough bashing! Don't you people know that politician are blameless, holy creatures of God?

Political candidates are carefully screened and tested for administrative competency and honesty.

Voters are smart enough, I mean, name the last time an idiot was voted as President! Or Governor even!

You just need faith in the Process. The Process cannot fail. Surely you don't think that the Process is a sham created to make people feel involved, while in reality been separated from their money and having no say as to how it's used?

Plato imagined a 'perfect plane of existance'. All of our shabby reality is just a shadow of this perfect place. America is that Perfect Place! Deaths are noble, people are happy.

/tired of idiot political debaters - liberal, conservative, all of you.
 
2003-09-24 05:46:31 PM
still ya gotta wonder about Teddy...how many people can you think of that survived a farking plane crash...

link contains other useful useless Kennedy Curse factoids...
 
2003-09-24 05:47:49 PM
Or it did, anyway...must be the Conspiracy Gremlins...

1964: Senator Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, son of Joseph and Rose, suffers a broken back when his private plane crashes on June 19. One of his aides is killed.

A question: Why would NY want to name a bridge after Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne?

They both lived in Massachusetts and MJK was killed in Massachusetts.

/Oh, wait. I get it. It was some lame NeoCon joke. :P :P :P

NeoCons trying to be funny are like Englishmen trying to speak French - it's just embarassing to have to watch.

In the early 70's, when VW still sold their beetle in the USA, they were fond of bragging about how air tight they were. One of their ads showed a beetle floating in the middle of a pond. National Lampoon ran the same picture with the caption: If Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he'd be president today!
When a law suit was threatened... by VW, National Lampoon ran the following retraction: Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today.

Is every conservative a NeoCon now?

What are liberals then, NeoComs?

I'm sick of things being named after Jackie O...and all the 'Camelot' worship...honestly, people, there was nothing special about them...and this is a Democrat speaking.
 
2003-09-24 11:31:37 PM
*yawn* on the Kennedys. Whatever happened to Kennedy the MTV host? If you want to name a bridge after someone, it should be her.
 
2003-09-25 07:37:04 AM
Whenever confronted with a difficult decision, Ted pauses, then says: "We don't have to deal with that now. Buy when we do, we'll drive off that bridge when we come to it".
