It’s brutally ignorant to say you can’t think of a single thing. Why don’t you share some of his important legislation with us? Look, he’s a Senator. The sad truth is that nobody really gives a shit what you do in government unless it involves invading somewhere or emancipating someone. ---

Even in the Pit, let’s try to remember the positives. Ted Kennedy’s life was about a driving need to cross bridges to make connections. It was about plunging deeply into the river of experience and leaving the dead weight behind. It was about drinking in fully the heady brew of politics, speeding widly into the hurly-burly without a care, taking some hard knocks, picking oneself up and heading into the twilight with no regrets and without looking back. Sure Ted was a big spender, but he had a big heart, and he knew you can’t get anything worthwhile done without spending a few Kopechs. Who knows - he might have been President, if only he had hit the breaks. 😉 ---

I view him the same as I view Bill Clinton; bot very effective at their jobs but possessed of weak moral character. Oh, yeah, Rush is a pompous, bombastic blowhard and so is Michael Moore and Ann Coulter. I say let’s deep six all of them and start over. ---

When Rush Limbaugh dies, they will bury him 10 feet deep. And deep down, Rush Limbaugh will be very good.
