The Kennedys have had one member elected president, and none elected governor. The Bush family has two presidents and two governors. Aren't they closer to being considered the closest thing to royalty than the Kennedys?

was done under the cloud of his being able to buy off the police department over the negligent death of Mary Jo Kopechne.

Had the police department, district attorney and the media treated him as any other person, he would have stood trial and faced the consequences for his drunken behavior.

Oddly enough, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers also gave him a pass for the death of a pregnant woman.

His only undying love was for every tinhorn communist dictator in the world and his skill at getting US Taxpayer help for them.

Much the same as is what is ocurring in Honduras right now.

He is finally dead, others can rest in peace now.

Kennedy was a liar, a cheat, a coward, a murderer, and his moral compass seldom pointed north.  He meddled in the affairs of America for many years, and America is a worse place because of him.  How can anyone praise someone like him?

 I'm sorry, but the first thing I thought when I heard of his passing was "good riddance."   And good riddance to the Kennedy clan in public life.  Royalty?  America does not need or want royalty.  And that includes the imbecile currently in the white house.

Every time I hear that about them, I want to puke.

This is one of the most dysfunctional families in the history of families. They are the real-life version of the Simpsons and the Bundys rolled into one.

As for Ted Kennedy himself, he had more to do with pushing this nation to the very edge of its own destruction than any other person who ever existed.

His constantly pushing to exponentially expand the freedom-robbing nanny-state may very soon result in a financial meltdown unlike any other in recorded history.

Our economy is currently dying under the weight of the cost, as well as the debt, that Ted Kennedy's "legacy" of unbridled, irresponsible socialism has left us.

This man does not deserve to be lauded in any way. He deserves to be reviled and despised, as he was a charter member of the Enemy Within Club.

Ding dong, the Ted is dead, which ole Ted, the killer Ted, ding dong, the wicked Ted is dead . . .

One less skirt-chasing, booze swilling, two-faced lying scumbag who left a girl to drown POS

I think it is only fitting that the private Congressional Health Care Plan should be named after Teddy Kennedy. The TEDDY KENNEDY PLAN, a symbol of self-indulgence and total disregard for the public. The other plan, the PUBLIC plan is something else, however. I suggest that the public plan be named the MARYJO KOPECHNE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. This will properly memorialize a lifetime of Teddy's work. Surely the public WILL NOT receive the same benefits as Congress but this Kennedy plan will provide the same level of care given to Maryjo by Teddy, with similar results. For those who wait eagerly for passage of the public plan, (as Maryjo probably waited) my advice based on past history is DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!

""He bore the unspeakable grief and overwhelming hopes of a nation."

Bull. He might have bore the collective blood alcohol content of a nation...

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

I'm old enough to have lived through the Kennedy era and I can tell you that Camelot was a myth and those who think of the Kennedys as royalty are sadly mistaken.

""Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government," and on and on." Well, not as badly as that, but he definitely would have tried to censor television, that's for sure. I skimmed through a book that Bork himself wrote and I thought "Yikes!" Perhaps being "Borked" isn't as bad as it sounds.

Anyway, yeah, the coverage is pretty much over the top because they're trying to turn a good man like Ted Kennedy into a great myth. Of course, I think that's done to overcompensate some of the bad things that are being said about him as well. We get it, he screwed up on saving his wife or lover or something in Chappaquiddick, so what? Is he the anti-Christ or something? Is he the second coming of Jesus? No, I think he was just a good man who tried to follow his conscience. And yeah, I think he had a conscience.
