UGLY AND VENEMOUS

I’m a civilized, compassionate person so feel sorrow when informed that a living creature is threatened with a potentially mortal ailment. Edward M. Kennedy’s falling into that category qualifies him for my sorrow and hope, along with prayers for a happy recovery.

Still, I’m amazed at the clamor and lamentation over Ted’s latest affliction. It’s as if a benevolent statesman is ill. He’s old, so, I suppose is seen to be beloved, like a Hollywood sleaze ball in later life, but consider the man’s credentials.
1. Expelled from a law school for cheating.
2. Dissembled, concealed evidence, and God only knows what all, in the devious, lurid affair of poor Mary Jo at Chappaquiddick. Her family’s iron-clad, post mortem silence was an excellent indication of bribery.
3. A century, it seems, as one of the most loony of the many senate Lunatic Liberals. Ted lives like a feudal lord but will vote 100% in favor of building a housing project across your street and 100% in favor of bussing your child 100 miles to a school full of incipient criminals. On the other hand he will be 100% opposed to any Supreme Court nominee that believes simply in the Constitution.
4. He’s a Kennedy, one of our self-appointed Irish-American royals, whose ranks has featured prominent junkies, womanizers, and accused rapists, such as the son of a former Ambassador to Ireland.(As head of the Kennedy Klan, Ted led a delegation of them to the trial, and in the face of such authority, the jury declined to accept the woman’s word.)
5. He’s a drunk.

I’d be delighted to know that no group other than Massholes and Californicators would elect this sorry specimen to so much as County Clerk.

Very regrettably it’s not a precious jewel this toad wears in his head, and I do hope he’s cured of the foreign body there, but I don’t imagine he’ll ever be free of his other, encephalic deficiencies.
