RIP Edward Kennedy

[KRonn]

Goddamn Massholes.

They can rename their newly-independent country 'Kennedyana' with the capital city of 'JFKburg', and currency called 'Tedwards'. 

Really, it gets nauseating. I'm hoping that Joe Kennedy doesn't run, son of Robert Kennedy. He runs Citizen's Energy, brings low cost heating oil to those in need, using mainly Venezuelan oil. I guess he's doing a good thing there. However, I don't want to see a Kennedy get elected based mainly on the name. Time to move on. Joe has been in some politics so he wouldn't likely be laughed off the stage like Caroline Kennedy-Schlossberg, but he's no bright spark either.

I think it's about time the rest of us kicked Massachusetts out of the United States. 

Kick out the home of John Adams?!  NEVAH!

Now Thomas Jefferson sucked so we can boot out Virginia...except that would make Lettow happy.

Valmy hates George Washington!

Ok fine keep Virginia.  Boot out Delaware, Caesar Rodney wasn't that great and nobody would miss them.

[KRonn]

Ok, boot out Massachusetts, so I'll finally have to join a more rational part of the nation. Darn frustrating being a moderate/centrist, fiscally conservative person in an ultra lefty state. Even so, there seems to be a lot of people and groups concerned with and keeping a watch on govt spending. Doesn't seem to be doing much good though.

You are welcome to  come down here and debate evolution and posting the ten commandments everywhere.

Contrary to what the rest of the United States thinks, there ARE some non liberal people in Massachusetts.

On a related note, I'm operating under the assumption that everyone that lives in San Francisco is homosexual.

Shoot, I'm part of the family (black sheep branch, thank god) and I wouldn't mind seeing many of the self-righteous schmucks get the boot.

The corrupt Massachusetts legislature is meeting to change the law to now allow governors to appoint a Senator, to fill Senator Kennedy's seat. That law was changed when Repub Romney was governor and Kerry was running for President. At the time the governor could appoint an interim Senator. The late Senator Kennedy then pushed the state to put through a law to prevent the gov from appointing a Senator, and for a vote to be had instead. Now though, the legislator wants to change the law back, for the convenience of the Dem party, in their arrogance, to change the law again! It was actually Sen Kennedy who, before he passed, wanted the law changed again, and again pushed for the law to be changed back as it was before, so the now Democratic governor could appoint a Senator. Lol... even comments passed from Dem legislators are suggesting how bad this all looks, and is. Saddest thing though is that I'm hearing that ex-Gov Dukakis (Dutaxus) will get the nod.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Yes.  This is party politics at its worst.  Felon Finneren was on the radio this morning deriding it while also admitting that he was the one who got the last change passed.

[The Brain]

Dukakis?!?

[Admiral Yi]

Goddamn Massholes.

And their ACORNist ways.

[KRonn]

Yes.  This is party politics at its worst.  Felon Finneren was on the radio this morning deriding it while also admitting that he was the one who got the last change passed.

Howie Carr is having a field day on it.

I imagine that even Eagan and Browdie are having fun with it, both moderates or Dem radio talk show hosts.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Well why shouldn't they? This is beyond what even the most die hard liberals should be able to accept.

He's not drunk enough. Maybe his wife should be appointed instead. But hide the listerine and rubbing alcohol.


Will a change in the law be able to affect the current vacancy btw? I can understand Ted wanting them to do it before he kicked it, but it's a bit late now, right?
