Ted Kennedy: Sittin' on the Dock and O.K.

Ted Kennedy spent the weekend at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, MA with his son Patrick -- using the assistance of a cane and golf cart to get around.

"...I saw him at a speech in Boston, he could barely put sentences together".

Being so critical about other people's speech you should calm down and watch your words: "murderer" is a person that kills someone deliberately and illegally.

"Wow. So it's okay to murder your pregnant GF and be glorified ...."

Your political belief is obviously influencing your language. "murder": to kill someone deliberately and illegally.

33. I am a democrat and I think Ted Kennedy is a disgrace. he has ridden his brother's coat tails his entire life. I feel sorry for him but he is getting what he deserves (karma).

35. Have to agree with Jason, want to know the truth? Read Leo Demure's book Senatorial Privilege - 1986, he's guilty. This is not a nice man with moral values.

37. Hey, all you fourth grade drop outs who want to bash Ted Kennedy: today he was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard, something that university RARELY does. How many honorary degress from Harvard did you get today? (Tools, I am talking to you: none!)

Posted at 10:09PM on Dec 1st 2008 by Your Typical TMZ Ingrates have no clue about the Kennedys

38. Ted was old school Kennedy, back in the day when they killed their women one at a time, not like John-John.

39. 31 you are kind of a dim bulb. Kennedy at the time of Mary Jo's death was under the influence we all know it. He evaded the law by going home an sleeping it off and then waited till he was sober to show up. The fact he paid off the family 90 grand says it all. When a drunk kills someone at the wheel it is murder it has always been murder. If he did that today TMZ would be all over him and the people of the US would see him pay. At the time his family name covered it up his money bought his freedom. Justice has never been served it this case Mary Jo has never had her day in court

40. 35 you mean the Kennedys that gave us vietnam, mary jo, booze during the 1930's. The kennedys that the whole time JFK was in office he was hooked on pain killers for his back. You mean the Kennedys that screwed every woman that they could find. You mean the Kennedys that gave is the bay of pigs, Cuba cuban missle mess. Peddle your crap else where we are old enough to remember everything. Why do all the democrats always elevate to sainthood such trash. Harvard gave him the honors because of all the family money they gave to harvard read up on and have you mommy help you with the big words. I for one will never let him off the hook for Mary Jo.

41. He kinda looks like Rosie O'donnel from a far

42. At least we knew about Ted Kennedy's accident...John McCain's accident, the one where he killed a guy at the gate of a Virginia military base back in 1964, was never made public because he also had a powerful military daddy to cover it up. Rumor is that he was pretty drunk at the time...
And yes, they are also the Kennedy's that gave us the Special Olympics, the Peace Corps, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Profile in Courage awards.
Ted Kennedy himself is respected by every member of the Senate, Democrats AND Republicans. He has consitently been named one of TIME mag's "10 Best Senators." He is well known for working across the aisle and his legislation.particularily concerning health care and education has affected almost everyone in this country.
OMG - if you knew anything about history besides what you google, you would understand that JFK actually saved us during the Cuban missle crisis...if it wasn't for his leadership, Castro would have had missles in Havana, pointed at the US 90 miles away, courtesy of the Russians. I guess that would have been OK with you.
The Kennedy's, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton have all done alot for charities and human rights around the world. Can anyone tell me what the hell Nixon, Reagan, or Big Bush 41 have done for this country since they left office (besides the work that big Bush did WITH CLINTON!!). They didn't do alot, besides sit around at the lavish retirement estates and look at their Presidential Libraries.

43. Joe jr, Bobby, Jack all dead but Ted still alive. It really goes to show you the good die young. Ted is a drunken worthless piece of crap, the only reason he is still alive is his brain tumor is starving.

44. Regardless of any of the previous 40 or so opinions of Ted, it's time for him to retire. He's no longer capable of being an effective Senator. The citizens of Massachusetts deserve to have representation.

As for his many past sins, I hope he gets what he deserves. JFK was a great man and a great President but the rest of his family tree has been an embarrassment to his wonderful legacy. Ted was the most rotten branch and really needs to go away before he further embarrasses his family.

I wonder what MADD would say if his Mary Jo “accident” happened today.

45. you have to shake your head in disbelief when anyone tries to deny ted kennedy is a murderer.

i fear for this country and this world because of ignoramuses like "bye bye bushie". people who let their ideologies get in the way of morality and facts are scary indeed.
