Connecticut remembers Ted Kennedy

Connecticut will remember U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as a tireless advocate for the less powerful -- from the mentally ill to the poor -- and as a team player who never failed to cross the border from neighboring Massachusetts for a good political fight.

[Yeah OK]

I remember the hypocrite.

[Roger]

I remember Mary Jo !!!! All the wonderful politicians speaking so highly of a drunkard who never reported the "ACCIDENT" He should have been charged with vehicular homaside,,,,BUT HE is a Kennedy and the crime was in Mass. Old night shirt Ted,,what a joke he was,. Let's not forget ,him and Chris Dodd and the waitress "Incident"
DUMP DODD

[seadoo]

Good Riddance....finally justice for Mary Jo. Where does everyone think good old Teddy wound up?...toast.

Who is next in the Kennedy clan, the rapist William?

[xyankee]

I remember a man of questionable ethics, shameful antics and an agenda that us centrists found truly frightful

[Just Curious]

Kennedy was to be admired for sticking to his course, but I'm not sure that Dodd does him any favors by speaking well of him.

[Saint Peter]

Sorry Ted you're going down. All your misguided welfare / social engineering programs don't make up for what you did to Mary Jo; liars and cowards belong with Satan!

[Deadward Kennedy]

What do I remember about Edward Moore Kennedy?

I remember the drunkenness, the wife beating, the whoremongering, the cocaine snorting, the aloof elitism, the hypocrisy, the lying, and most of all, I remember his complicity in the untimely death of Mary Jo Kopechne.

None of my memories of Ted are fond, I might add.

Oh yes, and I also remember that he is dead, which is rapidly becoming a fond memory.

[honor]

well, I'm from New Canaan,Conn. and all I remember was that Kennedy killed a girl,left her to die a horrible death

"Connecticut will remember U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as a tireless advocate for the less powerful"

Blah Blah Blah! That's only the LIBERALS in Connecticut, and the News-Times of course... goes without saying.

[newanarchy]

He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors, reducing the voting age from 21 to 18 were just some of his positive accomplishments. Was he perfect, absolutely not, as I imagine none of the above posters are either. You religious idiots with your talk of satan and hell should pay a little more attention to your book of fairy tales and what it says about judging others.

The cruel and harsh statements here over a man's death only serve to confirm the fact that the so called "conservatives" and "Right wingers" are souless and without compasion for their fellow man.

This is just the harsh and crass distillment of their basic philosophy of "I've got mine - everyone else go to h e l l". Its why they're against any program that might help someone other than themselves or against anything that might require them to lift a finger or pull a dime out of their greedy little wallets.

Case closed. Thanks for making it so obvious folks.

Ah, more stereotypical bullshit. I don't consider myself particularly conservative, nor am I a Republican, neither am I a "right winger" nor a Christian.

However, I do know shit when I see it, and that shit was Edward Moore Kennedy, nothing but a drunken, whoremongering, hypocritical, lying, traitorous murderer. If there is such a place as hell, he belongs in it.

He was a murdering,sexist whore pig, who f$ucked around on his wife and got his nephew off on a slam dunk rape charge and himself off on a murder charge. POS! He treated woman like they were less valuable than a doormat. Yet he treated black people like they were kings and queens. Bullshit! He got black Obama elected who had no ideas, no brains, no experience, was a complete and utter fraud. Whereas Hillary (a woman) who clearly deserved to win was more intelligent, had vast experience, motivated people, brains, ideas, and was the right choice. He was a complete sexist pig to slam her in the face. He is a murderer, drunkard, slimeball, pig, no good scab and the media and the good ole boys are holding him up as their hero. Tells you alot about the good ole boys club at the Whitehouse and Senate. POS all of them. IMO.

The Racist Obama is chomping at the bit to get some face time in front of the camera at the funeral. Hollywood hasn't called the black man in a while. Anything to get on tv. Remember, he sent out his so very important statement to the nation upon MJ's death! OMG! Who is the REAL WHACK JOB?

What a pair a trash bags!

[The New Milford Grouch]

U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3, said Wednesday that Kennedy was inspiring. "He was a beacon of courage and compassion for all of us to steer by," she said in a statement from her Washington office. "Unwavering in his principles and yet open-hearted to those who disagreed with him, the Senator always went the extra mile to fight for American workers, children, women, seniors, and families."

Mary Jo was unavailable for comment.

I think your note fittingly answered the rhetorical question "Who is the REAL WHACK JOB?" You have met the whack job and its is YOU.

Gee, I missed the 'governement will take away all things bad" speech. Of course I dont have the paranoid, me-first filter on everything I hear like you do.

I find it amazing that you people puff your chests out with this "America is great" "American can do anything" "We're the best to h e l l with the rest" pride but have zero optimism or zero risk taking mentalities and just throw your hands up and say "Hey, it is how it is...some will live some with die...some will be rich some will be poor....

Seems to me you're the ones whe are cowards.
