Why I hate Liberals: Reason #7953

What to get an idea of how much of a worthless tool Melissa Lafsky is? Go read her article about her boy Ted.

But in all the florid or scalpel-sharp prose, there's one constant: Peeking out from the center of the story is the matter of his playing a major part in the death of a 28-year-old woman.

Mary Jo wasn't a right-wing talking point or a negative campaign slogan. She was a dedicated civil rights activist and political talent with a bright future -- granted, whenever someone dies young, people sermonize about how he had a "bright future" ahead of him -- but she actually did. She wasn't afraid to defy convention (28 and unmarried, oh the horror!) or create her own career path based on her talents. She lived in Georgetown (where I grew up) and loved the Red Sox (we'll forgive her for that). Then she got in a car driven by a 36-year-old senator with an alcohol problem and a cauldron full of demons, and wound up a controversial footnote in a dynasty.

We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.

Who knows -- maybe she'd feel it was worth it.

(emphasis added)

So apparently, the death of a bright, attractive young woman with her whole life ahead of her is nothing but "a controversial footnote in a dynasty".

And suggests that maybe she wouldn't have minded dying for fat, drunken Ted's career.

I guess we could go ask her..... Oh wait, we can't....

SHE'S DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think these people go into PSH over the fact that Sarah Palin killed a few moose!

THESE ARE THE ASSHOLES THAT SAY WE CAN'T WATERBOARD TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!

The irony! The hipocrisy! I haven't the words.

Oh and she's wrong about one other thing. We do know what Ted thought about Mary Jo Kopechne's death.

I don't know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, "have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?"

AFTERHOUGHT:

I think I'll run for political office. I hereby choose Melissa Lafsky as my human sacrifice, to die while slowly sufficating in a darkened, 2 square yard box, as it slowly fills with water.

Sorry About My Absence

The long and short of it is that I have been overwhelmed.

Everyday I read the headlines and I am amazed of the things being said and done in Washington!

It has rendered me speechless. (those that know me, know how difficult that is)

It's that simple.

Those in DC have become charactures of themselves. Really, if this shit was in a movie script, it would be shitcanned because no one would believe it.

I am in fear for our country. And our way of life.

Now That That's Out Of The Way........

Go read this to see how I feel about Ted;

The fact is, Teddy was a mess in virtually every way. But as a Kennedy he was so anointed, so privileged, and so exempt from the rules that hold sway over we peasants, that he could have raped an 11 year old boy on national TV, and the next day the NYTimes above the fold headline would have read that he ‘Cares for Children’. His was a life filled with the kind of excesses that only get excused for royalty. And in that way, he and his fawning media sycophants represent everything that this country was supposed to not be about.

He practiced the politics of self congratulation. And so long as you do that, the reliably leftist media won’t have anything bad to say about you… maybe ever. No matter who you hurt, who you slander, or who you leave to drown in your car at the bottom of a pond. Had Mary Jo Kopechne been able to walk on water like the media is pretending Ted could, then maybe she would still be alive today.

Where is her eulogy?

Ted Kennedy, RIP

Before I say anything else let me quote the Rott: http://nicedoggie.net/

To the loved ones and family of Ted Kennedy,

Ted was something to you which he will never be to me or the majority of the rest of us; he was blood. He was family. Today, you are left with a hole inside of you because of his passing. Having lost loved ones of my own, I know what that means and I do truthfully, honestly grieve with you for that. I will not hypocritically lionize or make up excuses for a politician that I despised, but I will also not deny that there are people left behind to whom he was more than just a politician, nor will I withhold my sympathy from them just because I loathed him.

It is a painful time you’re going through right now, but I hope and pray that you’ll remain strong. I want you to hold on to the joyful memories that you have of him, not only to grant you solace in your time of grief, but also because that is what will remain with you once the grieving period is over. That is what must remain for, in time, those memories will fill the void that you find within you now. And what’s better, unlike the mortal man who is now gone, those memories will never die. You will never need to fear that they will grow old and infirm and pass away.

I, personally, will never be able to even pretend that I’ll miss him or that he was a loss to our nation but, again, I don’t know him like you do. I do not have any happy memories of days gone by with him, as I’m sure that you must have. You have my sincere condolences for your personal loss, and I pray that G-d grant you strength to work your way through this.

"I'd do it again if I had to."

So Augusto, 72 -- known to most as "Gus" -- channeled his inner Dirty Harry and pulled out the Remington shotgun he had hidden under his desk for 20 years. He opened fire three times, peppering all four men with buckshot.

Augusto and his employees tried to get back to business as usual yesterday, although it wasn't easy. When a woman came to place a candle outside the shop, J.B. angrily kicked it across the pavement.
"Who's this for?" he demanded of the startled woman. "For the guy who died? F- - - him!"

I'm Back

I Haven't posted in awhile simply because I've been overwhelmed with what has been happening lately.
