Did you guys know that Laura Bush crashed into her friend's car and killed them after not stopping at a stop sign?
- Yup.DrBombay
- Angrymob and Deathboy won't acknowledge this.. they will just keep harping on Kennedy.DrBombay
- i knew this. did they call the cops immediatly, though. Also, laura never held office. She wasnt an elected figure.baseline_shift
- What does that have to do with causing someone to die?DrBombay
- http://www.usatoday.…DrBombay
- This isn't about who else killed someone...life is messy. We all make mistakes. Grow up. That's my point.monkeyshine

If kennedy had immediately contacted the authorities, i would have no problem with this incident. Shit happens.
its just how you handle the shit thats thrown your way that makes the difference.
- especially as an elected official.baseline_shift
- How did you feel about Cheney shooting a man in the face and dodging the cops for 9 hours? Just curious.DrBombay
- Oh my god. were you there? Have you ever been in an accident where someone died? Grow up.monkeyshine
- I agree it doesn't come off too great. I'm not defending Kennedy.ukit
- I feel terrible about what cheney did. Inexcusable. Im glad he wasnt reelected.baseline_shift
- I would call the cops as soon as i hit another car. Thats what ive done in both accidents i was in.baseline_shift
- Luckily nobody died in them.baseline_shift

@Bombay. Its a shame when someone dies, no doubt. They both are responsible for tragedy.
The difference between kennedy and laura bush is that kennedy was re-elected. He was able to carry on without being reprimanded.
Laura bush is a public figure, but not an elected official. The American people were stupid enough demand justice from this incident.
- do you enjoy pissing on people's graves the day they die?DrBombay
- *stupid enough to not demand justicebaseline_shift
- lulwut? Hes getting tv time and public morning. Nobody cares about little ol me, voicing my opinionbaseline_shift

Actually, the real difference between Kennedy and Laura, is that despite a dumb, likely shit-scared act that ended in the death of a woman, he went on to serve the public and fight for people like you that hated him, Laura just sat in a big house eating xanex all day.
- haha, can't argue with thatukit
- i dont think its fair to compare him and laura. first ladys do nothing. they arent elected officials.baseline_shift
- haha, that was awesome.DrBombay
- Best comment so far, haha.harlequino

'fighting for people like you that hated him' = drinking whiskey all day and having affairs.
dont be fooled. not calling the cops like he did is criminal negligence. he should have done jail time.
- im not standing up for laura, btw.baseline_shift
- Um, you're not REALLY saying the numerous legislative acts he helped push through = whiskey, are you?NONEIS

While Ted Kennedy's incident is tragic and shamefull we should be talking about his political accomplishments.
Honestly, If you look in to it the Clinton's have left a trail of dead bodies around them for years.
Never mind the people the Bush family has directly or indirectly laid to waste.
I think the criminal element in elected officials is almost a given. They all have skeletons in the closet.- by the time you get to any high level in politics, there is a wake of horrors behind you. i hate politicians.baseline_shift

Seriously though, Cheney shot a guy in his fucking face and dodged the cops for hours while he allegedly sobered up. Not a whole lot different there except that old guy didn't die.
- Not defending Kennedy at all, just stating what should be obvious.DrBombay
- I will guarantee you that Cheney won't be remembered for that incident in the same way.DrBombay
- Dick Chaney, known for Facial Shots, Dies at Age 69.
:Dharlequino - Yeah, hes not gonna be remembered positively at all. For his personal OR political life.baseline_shift
- Kennedy escaped with his political life intact.baseline_shift
- No he didn't. He had no chance of the presidency after Chappaquitic.harlequino

Bush started a war resulting in the death of millions based on some bullshit excuse.
No one's perfect guys.
- this is a kennedy thread. not an everyone thread. thats why we were discussing him, not cheney or laura or w.baseline_shift
- To be more specific, it's a thread about his death, not about what happened in his life either. Not that threads have rules...juhls
- rules...juhls

haha, Foxnation has disabled comments on the Ted Kennedy page on their site. http://www.thefoxnation.com/poli…
Wonder why they would do that? This entire site of theirs is driven by user comments :P

The Kennedy's were flawed in their personal lives but worked hard for the common man and civil rights. Not many families of the Kennedy's wealth and power do the same. Usually they stomp on the little guy while trying to acquire more power and wealth.
- yeah, i guess this is probably the difference between them and the Bushes....twokids
- Well, that and the hair. And the choice in women.TheBlueOne
- get out of this thread rabblerouser!DrBombay

he may have been a great senator, im not sure about his record. but he seems to me like a rich kid whose daddy's money got him out of trouble. sounds a little like our last president.

Anyone on this thread kills someone and lies about it and they spend a life getting your ass jammed up in the big house... oh, but not Teddy-O, cause money and power talks, right? And that just seems so fine with you all? Let's give him a medal for being a murderer, a liar, a drunk and a jackass.
- He was an important law maker though, I suppose.AngryMob
- Hi Wilhelm!DrBombay
- Rick.. you are a one trick pony.mathinc
- And so are you Will.mathinc
- May you both contract Syphilis.mathinc
- Amen.mathinc
- I am unconcerned with what you think. The guy tries to masquerade as tho he isn't Wil.DrBombay
- I thought me and you used a condom anyway?DrBombay
- Like I would ever get drunk enough to fuck your termite infested wooden head.mathinc
- The way you ride my nuts like a bike it would seem like it.DrBombay
