Mourned by some - but not by many.

As to picture - Ouch! As to sentiments - heartily concur!

Well done! He was a slob.

We can let the family mourn in peace, but why the gushing eulogies? The BBC has just been praising his life. I'm old enough to remember some of the things that he did, and some families of dead soldiers might just remember his efforts to help the IRA.

The man whose self-awareness was not sufficient to prevent him from calling one of his dogs Splash. Amazing.

If anyone feels like sticking up for him, please read this first:

An utterly revolting son of an utterly revolting father.
Those who lavish praise on this arch-stinker have not researched their disgusting subject & know not whereof they speak.

Three obvious remarks spring to mind :

1. Gordon Brown during his visit to the US the other month (you remember the visit where President Obama presented Gordon with a pick&mix collection of DVD's that didn't even work in the UK) knighted Kennedy - that's right he received an honorary knighthood. Funny how the BBC etc have forgotton to call him 'Senator Sir Ted Kennedy'

2. Senator Sir Ted was shouting away last week about the disgracefull release on 'compassionate grounds' of the Libyan Pan Am bomber by the Scottish Executive. He would have been cheering away from the rooftops if it had been an IRA bomber. Remember NORAID. The IRA had many supporters among the Democrats in Congress until 9/11.

3. Sorry. Whoops - I forgot. IRA bombers are all good god fearing Catholics - Pan Am bombers are good god fearing Muslims. I thought discrimination between persons on grounds of their religion was illegal in the States but maybe someone forgot to tell Senator Sir Ted Kennedy. After all he was above the law wasn't he ?

Good stuff, Ivan. Fortunately, Edward Kennedy wasn't British so couldn't use the honorific "Sir". See also: Bono, Bob Geldof etc.

And Jean Monnet.

Did anybody read the BBC comments? Apparently he barracked some innocent British soldier which if true to my mind makes him cowardly and a thug.

Just thought I'd share the pic and text of National Lampoon's infamous Kennedy Volkswagen ad:

Is anyone else here utterly depressed by the fact that some people lionise this murderer, this ostensible lover of mankind.

I traveled far and wide through many
different times
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed

I traveled far and wide to prisons
of the cross
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins
I traveled far and wide through many
different times

This is the best summary of Ted Kennedy and the title says it all:

Be fair to the man. He didn`t have an enemy in the world. They drowned . Or the IRA finished them.
