An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Kevin’s Not Dazzled Either
It’s no secret I absolutely adore Kevin Jackson (The Black Sphere)! The man has more common sense in his little finger, than most people will ever have, or dream of. His take on ol’ Teddy’s death, once again, hits the mark.
Here’s just a snippet:
Today however, the news will report that a great man died. They will say how he was a wonderful legislator, and that he “reached across the aisle” in a bi-partisan effort to help all Americans. You will hear things like dedicated father, family member, friend, patriot, American, and a host of other platitudes that Kennedy frankly doesn’t deserve.
Kennedy was good at one thing: Being a Kennedy! Actually, he was just ok at that.
Teddy Kennedy was a relic of a bygone era—an icon who never should have been an icon. When you really analyze what Kennedy accomplished in his life and career, the answer is nothing except being a Kennedy. In truth, Kennedy’s career was really about one quintessential thing: Keeping Democrats in power—by whatever means necessary.
Kennedy literally had NO idea what it is like to be black or any concept of being poor. Teddy was born into a life of luxury, and I’m not talking “nouveau riche, don’t blink when you buy a Ferrari.” Kennedy money is “don’t blink when you buy an island!” Teddy was handed everything, having lost the only thing his family could not steal—a second time—the presidency. Even with his Kennedy lineage, Teddy couldn’t earn that.

I heard this afternoon they are burying the old reprobate in Arlington Cemetery. Is it just me, or is this extremely offensive to anyone else? I think of all those young men and women who died serving this nation who are buried there, and I’m wondering….other than being born a Kennedy, killing a young woman, managing to get himself elected over and over again, and totally screwing up our health care system with his bs HMO scheme….what has he done to deserve this honor?
Ted Kennedy served in US Army.
Yes. I’m aware he did. So did Timothy McVeigh. I feel about the same about both of them.
WOW, OB. That was pretty harsh, coming from you. Sounds like something Id say ;P Maybe Im rubbing off on you?
Let me know which grave is his…. Ill be sure to go “water the flowers” sometime.
I read a comment yesterday that suggested he’s getting buried in Arlington precisely because most of the people who want to “water the flowers” will refrain out of respect for the other servicemembers buried there.
Oh, sb, you gotta dig deeper. I have some major moments! LMAO Just ask anyone who’s been coming around for a while.
Heather, you have NO idea how long it took me to ‘get it’. Jeeez. I need more coffee! Heh.
What is offensive is that the Archbishop of Boston will allow a funeral Mass for the abortion-facilitator.
dad, do you ever get the impression that the American Catholic church has forgotten what is actually IN the Bible?
It is quite shameful!
money talks, BS walks.
