Cue photo of Pete Wilson on stretcher.....

Why doesn't he just take a paid leave of absence like Hilliary, Obama and McCain.

has to be the biggest ego move to date. Step down Ted!

The crowd was chanting "Mary Jo, Mary Jo..."

No, dumbass. That would be starting a war that didn't have to be fought.

gross!

An ailing Teddy Kennedy makes an effort to come in for a vote on Medicare?

Recieves a decorum bending, standing O from the gallery?

Sweet!

To wot effect may one ask?...

FTA: Kennedy's dramatic return gave Democrats the impetus they needed to free Medicare legislation from gridlock. It had received 59 votes on an earlier test, one short of the 60 needed to advance. Kennedy made 60, and when Republicans saw the outcome was sealed, several of them joined Democrats to pad the margin.

Sweeter still.

Any naysayers?

Hey Murphy, 1969 called.

They want their talking points back.

Be Well.

How did Mcsame vote?

Oh, right, he forgot to show up ....

Brain tumor 1; alzheimers 0

Or given Mcsame's not voting on FISA-alzheimers 2 times 0

Two major issues and Mcsame cuts and runs on both of them.
Pussy.

The uglies are spewing mean in full force, aren't they? Teddy feels a family tradition - to serve people - and the wee folk of the rigid right find an excuse to make nasty. Can anyone imagine a Bush, or a Cheney, casting a vote that matters while that ill? herm

You yahoos are really rude--surprised about Zat.

More like disappointed.

Uhm, what, exactly, were you expecting Ms. Christian Compassion?

The noble, honorable heir to Camelot.
(The mighty Obama his Lancelot!)
His bravery is touching; his courage remarkable.

Long live medicare!
Long Live Ted Kennedy!
Long Live Camelot!

Be Well.

You're right, I hope he keeps serving. Maybe we'll get to see his sorry ass die on c-span. I'll make popcorn. This will be fun! As for respect, the bastard is still alive and putting himself out there as a target so I'm respecting him by giving him what he wants.

You bastards didn't have the courage to go after Jesse Helms until his death. I just wish he were still here to poke at the wound with a stick...

Of course I'm just trying to goad you goons as it's fun and easy because you're so passionate about, well, that I'm still trying to figure out. You're passionate contrarians is all I can tell. I gotta finish working out - talk to you ladies later.

some creepy old turd drags his ass into the Senate and begs for free money.

Turns out to be a lard ass Liberal demanding that someone else pay his bills.

This is a surprise?

I wish lard ass Vern and 2stupid4words would just get a room and fuck each other's brains out. Literally!!

DR's pitiful excuse for Rtards are incapable of recognizing class when it bites them on the ass.

YTheseou sniveling pants-pissers failed to note that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN PRESENT joined in the standing ovation for Senator Kennedy.

I thought I just read about $93 million last year in fraudulent medicare payments - money doled out to fake identities and to dead people.

oh, good show. Let's all clap hands for the dead guy -- well almost

you display a chimpanzee's understanding of Medicare and how it distorts American health care

$93M is not trivial. However (IF true), let's put it in perspective:
- $93M amounts to about 30 cents per US citizen and
- $93M amounts to less than 7 hours of "Iraq War":

Nice to see all the rightards out displaying their hate in flying colors.

Good show!

Baloney.

I don't actually recall Jesse Helm's name coming up on a thread on the DR, maybe that 'cause I'm an ol' fart. But I can assure you that if it had an I was present I'd have excoriated him. Racist pigfucker. 2stupid4life calls out "contrarians", hell Jesse was the biggest contrarian in the Senate when it came down to what Americans needed or wanted. While on the other end of that scale Ted Kennedy has made it his life's mission to help Americans.

Fuck Mary Jo, she should have been a better swimmer.

Very true. Her judgement was also fucked up. Who (besides Northgay) would get in a car with a drunk, horned up Ted Kennedy?

i hear when it came time for Old Pudding Brain Kennedy to vote he stood up, yelled "Studebaker!" and sat down, only to shit himself 3 minutes later and have to be walked out.

Tuesdays With Teddie

A patch of scalp was clearly visible amid his familiar white hair, although it was not clear whether that was a result of surgery he underwent or the effects of chemotherapy that is part of his treatment.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

Did he vote "present" like Obama?

as well they should.....its called common courtesy.something socialist americans dont quite seem to 'get'.........
IT DOES NOT, however much you want to think it does, MEAN that they agree one little bitty bit with this MURDERING PIECE OF SHIT..........

If he's going to remain on the Senate payroll, it's good of him to be driven to Capitol Hill, wheeled up the ramp, and press a button so he can be paid this Friday.

Godalmighty. Reading the article, you'd have thought he was on one of those crab fishing boats in the Bering Sea or something. If 100-year-old guys can still perform the rigors of the job as a Senator, why is it a big deal when Kennedy does?

Probably has something to do with him being in the middle of battling brain cancer RiR

Hey stupidass, does this mean that you've recently changed your position on Joe Horn? Not idicted is not indicted. Or is that only something rightards give lip service to?

Rob,

To my chagrin I'd have to agree with that assessment. That's a particularly tough cancer from what I've read.

The irony of Teddy and other Kennedys is that, whether you like them or not, John F and Robert Kennedy had at least a small amount of integrity, and they were murdered. I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with them being lousy administrators.

Teddy never had any integrity. I don't believe he killed that girl on purpose but wimped out and got scared. He, being one without integrity has been allowed to exist.

Oooo, the irony

I guess that I confused BLGoo.

How touching. A bunch of dirty republicans standing in honor of a dirty democrat. Let's all gather 'round the camp fire and sing "Kumbaya."

Yeah, at least on FISA Obama had the guts to vote with Bush! Change we can believe in! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

When Jesse Helms went home to his lord and savior, several progressive posters here pleaded for restraint. I see that no middle class hang-ups like decency plague our rigid righties. herm

A shame he couldnt vote to give us the same health coverage he gets....

But thats for them not us.

Righties invariably surrender readily to anything attacking their brains, whether it be alzheimers or cocaine or VC propoganda.

They view the brain as a redundent organ, what with FOX News or James Dobson telling them anything they need to know.

right nancy

Posted by Myrox at 2008-07-09 08:10 PM

Obama was there doing his job but where was McCain again?

A hoo-ha elsewhere suggests Fox gives insufficient coverage to Jesse Jackson's demeaning slip.

Let me suggest that The Forces Of Murdoch decided in their infinite wisdom that Jesse Jackson criticism would tend to work, with Fox viewers, in O'Bama's favor. herm
