Then Shales stuck up for Kennedy after the third Bush-Kerry debate in the October 14, 2004 Post:

Kerry said he advocated a "pay-as-you-go" plan for the national budget, which Bush shortened to a "pay-go" plan, sneaking in an irrelevant reference to Sen. Ted Kennedy, with whom Bush and Vice President Cheney are always trying to link Kerry. When Schieffer asked a question about jobs, Bush took his cheapest shot of the evening, ignoring the question to say to Kerry, "There's a mainstream in American politics, and you sit right on the far left bank," then adding that Kerry was so liberal he made Kennedy look like the conservative senator from Massachusetts. It was crummy behavior for a president of the United States, the kind of thing better left to lap-dog pit bulls such as vice presidents.

When I saw this camera shot, I looked at my watch and thought... little early in the evening for hangover, ain't it teddy? 

This is what Massachussetts voters vote for? A slumping Kennedy doing his best snooze imitation? My goodness, these twerps get what their tiny little liberal minds pay for. A hapless, do nothing, blowhard baffoon. Hey, Massachussetts voters, hate to break your little bubble, but the guy is a drunk and so is much of his family. This is the kind of representative you want in the Senate. With a team like Kerry and Kennedy, the liberal bluebloods and union leaders must be so pleased. These blowhards have multimillion dollar mansions and holdings and you think that they represent the "common man/woman" of the state of Massachussetts? This is yet another reason that people are leaving this state in droves along with most of the New England states like Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. There's nothing there for any independent, intelligent, critical-thinking individual. The moose and deer have more independence and intelligence than your typical, New England liberal. Sad but true.

Three cheers for Mary Jo Kopechne, who insured there would be no President Teddy Kennedy!

That bloated, drunken waste of oxygen would have been as bad, if not worse, as Bill (I did not inhale, I did not have sex with that woman) Clinton.

And that is what people from Massachusetts want representing them in Washington?  Kennedy & Kerry: two reasons why stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

ted looks like one of snarky old hollywood hasbeens with the fat ass, alchohol induced red complexion.  he looks like the only thing that might light up that face is a good looking, well built cheap (or free)  hooker with a free stash of coke. 

The photograph in this posting doesn't do his red nose justice.

It was so repulsive during the address last night - not a pretty sight.

Why are voters still walking into walls for this drunk? 

He looked hammered to me!

Was this person serious? Ted Kennedy looks like he died 10 years ago, got stuffed, and has been being propped up ever-since.

The great state of Tax'a$$uetts's, servent of the people finest hour: maybe try "cut;en out the "double"johnny walker,before run'en to? or was that ,from your? job? those long table dancing, lunch'es are truly hard on the old body ?  

A couple of months ago I actually visited the grave of Claude Rains. I'm sure he's rolling over in it today after being compared to Chappaquiddick Fats.

Claude Rains served with a Scottish Regiment in World War I and was honorably discharged after being blinded in one eye with poison gas in France

On the other hand, Teddy got his rich Daddy's help in getting out of the Army after only serving 16 months out of a 4 year hitch in 1953. And until he got him out early, Old Joe also pulled strings to get him stationed in Paris, instead of being sent to Korea, where the shooting was.
