re: #595 steve

Watching ABC News and they were doing the Ted Kennedy is so good and everybody likes him segment (while showing the casket laying is state.)

I know we’re supposed to be respectful to the family, but Ted:

1. Cheated on a test and got kicked out of Harvard
2. Let Ms. Kopechne die. Either he wanted to keep from being arrested for drunk driving or just had bad judgment.
3. Criticized Jerry Ford for pardoning Nixon — citing that no one is above the law.
4. Talk to the USSR in the 80’s about helping the Dems in the 84 presidential race inexchange for helping the USSR in the future.

Ted was not to to be admired.
