Kennedy Hypocrisy

It literally makes me ill to hear such as Sen. McCain and others who reviled Teddy Kennedy in life (except when they wanted something) refer to him as “The Lion of the Senate” (“Lying,” more likely) and the one “almost indispensable man” when he died. Kennedy was responsible for some of the most reprehensible legislation ever passed. He drove his car into Chappaquiddick Bay with his young, beautiful, pregnant girlfriend inside and swam away, to go back to his motel, shower, and go to bed (as if nothing had happened), leaving her to die when a simple phone call MIGHT have saved her life, if made in time. But that was not Kennedy. Maybe he felt an “out-of-wedlock birth” would ruin his career, and her death almost did. But he was wiley enough to overcome killing her and “served” for many more years, screwing up everything he touched. People say you should not “speak ill of the dead,” but being dead doesn’t make you into a saint. If you’re a jerk alive, you’re still a jerk dead. I say, good riddance. (Just common sense)
