(CNN) -- Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the patriarch of the first family of Democratic politics, died Wednesday at his home in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was 77.

"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," a family statement said. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice."

who??

TOO BIG FOR THE RIDE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good fucking riddance

and as I said on the lemmingtrail board...

"... I assume now the MA congress will make it so that senator replacements will happen through the govenor's office just like Teddy wanted, as opposed to by way of popular vote... like Teddy wanted in 2004 in case Kerry won."

^what he said

Ted was nothing more than a super-liberal douche.

you both are wrong, but whatever. have funny with no one caring about mass in the congress anymore. hope you didn't like the tax money (that the fed will take from you anyhow) that kennedy brought back to your state.

Then maybe it might teach our state gov not to spend it like a drunken sailor, half the time on horrible shit that doesn't work until the Feds don't wanna give us anymore money (i.e. Big Dig)

Otherwise, yay, now I get to hear about this shit ALLL DAY at my barbershop.

I'll bet the Bushies and dittoheads will be beside themselves with grief.

Teddy is Deady.

oh, internet.

Right... the Big Dig sucks. You know what would really suck, having 2x worse traffic getting into/through Boston and having the shitty corridor which is now becoming green space. If they hadn't done the big dig, Boston would suck more shit then it already does. (I'm not saying it was done right, but it was needed to be done 15 years earlier).

You can always count on this place to piss on the corpse of someone who achieved more than any of us combined will ever achieve in our collective lifetime.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!!!!!

Troof. I think they projected that Boston would be in 22 hours of gridlock by now when they started planning the big dig. Needed to be done.



Burrrrrrrned!

Why would you do that? Hilarity would have ensued.

cant wait to here about this for the next 2-3 weeks

they barely tell you about how he murdered someone before

aril, I usually agree with you on 50% of things. but this time you are wrong. The first news story I heard I thought that same thing. In the shower and on the way to the office, I heard 6-ish stories on NHPR and every single one of them mentioned it. 3 of which talked at more length about it then they did about Robert Kennedy's death. Only one of them failed to mention the name of the lady that died. So there you are wrong. One of the stories was all about how kennedy failed.

^ LOL @ revisionist history

well I'm never serious on this site so I don't know what to tell you haha

I wonder if Ted Kennedy only played old school video games?

he was half drunk through the 80s

I imagine he was tempted by their gentle caress.

regardless of political affiliation, this man was a true american who had a strong will and stood by his belief.
he was a good man, a caring family man, a loud voice in the senate, and a murderer. he fought for education rights and healthcare to no end and if anyone fails to acknowledge his efforts than you absolutely fail. even if you don't agree with his viewpoints, one should at least acknowledge the fact that he was both a loud voice in american politics, and a murderer who drank himself to sleep every night.
live long an prosper our dear teddy, see you in hell

look, if we had to hate everyone who has killed someone...

Who hates him?

the Jews

the only bad thing a kennedy ever did was kill that fatty actress monroe.

and a failed run for the presidency.

But hey, that worked...I mean...we got Reagan...oh...

and who ended the cold war?

weird, I'm still able to post

WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?

Fapfap

liberal rigging, what else? just like acorn's electronic voting fraud.

lol, silly liberal

well, since I can magically still post here, I'll just add my opinion.

I don't think Reagan's actions worked. The increased armament only made matters worse. I think Gorbachev and like-minded politicians did a lot more to bring an end.

Reagan just played politics with it. As would any politician, to his credit.

oh, and don't call me a liberal.

If people piss on Orin Hatch when he dies...if he ever dies...I'll defend him the same way.

Politicians are shit, but at least some of them get some good stuff done from time to time.

what am I looking at here?

the only politician that matters is yourself.

people in offices and chambers shouldn't dictate what YOU do.

come now, join my country, we can all be a free people once and for all. join us. we will ride the next comet to ascension and experience true freedom.

MMMM....comet ride. I'll drink the Kool-Aid in a second...no really...go 'head. Right behind ya.

We'll Brian, judging by the succession of posts leading up to the fish, it looked to be a hook, line and sinker. Years of deep political wisdom tells me you're the fish who took the bait. John Kerry 2012!

right, anyone want to get a partial birth abortion.. ooh wait..

anyone want to smoke dust.. oh wait...

Sorry. Was reading about heavens gate lastnight haha

masturbate!

Got drunk and killed someone with his car? Rich Horror does that on a daily.

Every four years I write in King Diamond for President.

King Diamond would make an excellent president.

he did it in 1998, 2002, and 2006

It's the thought that counts right.

And hey, I voted when I was 14. So hats off for my moxie.

Re: the big dig

If something hadn't been done about the traffic situation in Boston then someone would have been lynched. If you want to give TK credit for alleviating the traffic issue, do you also want to give him credit for appointing the roster of shady kickback taking, lowballing shitbags that ended up in charge of it too?

Chirp chirp

IT'S CHOWDAH!! CHOWDAHCHOWDAHCHOWDAH!!!

CHOW DARE!!

Kennedy brought in federal dollars on a project that went way over budget because unions wanted more money for the slow, shitty work that they did, which ended up killing another woman in a car. What is it with Teddy and women dying in cars?

This summabitch stole
my name

I piss on his grave.

Don't get me wrong, the idea itself was good and for it ultimately happening was good, but the vast overrunning and overspending sucked and the fact that they keep finding more shit wrong with it, things they have to fix and defects that some project in 10-20 years could make the whole thing collapes in some parts is VERY BAD.

SUCK DICK KETCHUP KERRY

I agree.

RIP
I totally called this in the dead pool that was created when MJ died.
Always have loved the Kennedy's because they manage to piss everyone in the world off. I could give two shits if he crashed his car 40 years ago or demanded that construction be done in Boston. I'm going to miss all the right wing cry babies whining about his policies.

Despite the fact that he should have AT LEAST done SOME jail time for being a vehicular man slaughterer (if not a negligent murderer) and that he was a socialist - he really was one of the hardest working members of our Senate. That's says a lot about the scum fuck privileged few who serve in our governmental oligarchy.

FWIW, the same people whining about his policies helping those who were avoiding their "personal responsibility" to get themselves out of poverty are the same people ignoring Kopechne's "personal responsibility" to not get in a car with someone who'd been drinking.

Since anyone with leanings toward civil programs seems to be a socialist these days, I'm just going to start calling those who vote against such legislation "nihilists" since everyone has decided to throw out specific political vernacular and deem just about everything under the sun "socialist."

Not that I agree or disagree with any particular point-of-view necessarily, but I'm completely spent on hearing the term "socialist" from anyone living in America.

This. You can all suck my cock. RIP.

His motorcade is about to go by my work. From what I hear he's standing up waving to everybody

R. Kelly that muthafucka!

Can you still hear his loud voice?

I lied. They're way behind schedule and bot even off cape cod. I guess he wanted one last drink.

But you can still hear his loud voice... right?

It echoes into eternity. The roar of the liberal lion never dies.

Can't hear him over the hordes of loud talkers in this shitty commonwealth.

I had shit to do, but did not bother going out due to this corpses motorcade. I live in Hyannis.

How ironic would it be if the hearse hit one of the numerous potholes on route 3 and got a flat?

Or went off a bridge into the Chappaquiddick.

shitty picture I took of it

Regardless of anything else, I was impressed with his senate work. I've watched his speeches to congress on CSPAN. He was very good.

Indeed.

wow, they needed a bus for that big ole boy!

form > content FTW!!!11!

/thread

HOLY SHIT MAYOR QUIMBY DIED???!!

ER, AH I AM ER, AH GOING TO ER, AH DRINK ER, AH WHISKEY, AFTER I ER, AH GRAB THIS ER, AH FAT CHICKS ER, AH ASS

am i gonna have traffic trouble from this kennedy bullshit if i drive into allston in an hour or so?

I thought mccain died when I saw this.

damn, he looks dead.

lol

RIP

Haha, I love the snide (sp?) look on George Bushs face in the church. All smug and shit. He is sitting with Bill Clit, Hillary Obama and the like. Funny scene.

I don't think the smug ever comes off his face...

Church music is giving me bad flashbacks of grade school.

Wow, that is a lot of sad white people.

I think the only black peeps are the prez his wife and Gizzov patrick.

There's more than that

haha, my mothers priest, father Mark, just gave a long winded speech at teddys funeral. I've met this guy many times, he has the mouth of a fucking trucker. Although religion sucks balls this dude is actually a funny fuck.

Haha does he? That rules.
Catholic masses are exactly the same all the time. I can recite half this shit all these years later. Blerg.

ugh...communion should take an hour or so.

yeah, haha. He is the priest with the glasses, middle aged looking dude. I think he is the only one that looks like that. But yeah, he is funny as hell. I have had a few conversations with him that were fucked. The only thing missing was sitting on a couch watching the game drinking beers with the guy. I think he is one of the few rare priests that does not have an affection for little boys.

My 14 month old is trying to sing like the guy on TV. lol.

hahaha

Fun fact: The priest who baptised me and married my parents was a kiddie-toucher and extorted money from my family's church. They moved him to another church, of course.

My mom doesn't go to church anymore now.

I can't believe his unniversal healthcare system wasn't the cure for brain tumors...

Oh shut up.

Patrick is a fucking mess.

absolutely.

I actually don't have a problem with Kennedy. Unniversal healthcare is icky though.

Getting loaded and then murdering prostitutes and driving them into the water is the best thing any government official ever did for massachusetts.

"universal health care" is so icky. fuck the poor. let them eat cake!

He'll be missed

God hates everyone in that church.
