As long as they can keep Obama from crawling into the coffin for a hug after the eulogy, and book Peaches and Herb doing “Reunited” for the wake, I’m down with it.

Where does this “lion” come from? This child of the trust fund from organized crime loot – what exactly was ‘leonine’ about him? His cheating in school? His daddy making sure he didn’t have to go to combat (take that BDS suffers!)? His heoric behavior at Chappaquiddick? “Lion” indeed.

Sorry, as a serviceman all I can remember is the man who never met an enemy of my country he couldn’t sympathize or empathize with, nor a defense budget he wouldn’t want to cut. To him, I was simply part of the “new management” of Saddam’s prisons or a dupe fighting a war conjured up “at a ranch in Crawford”.

Kennedy wanted to impose a health care system on the rest of us that ironically would not have provided the level of care he has received during his illness. Conveniently, the elite would not be limited by such constraints as contained in HR 3200 or some variant.

The effort to transform the US into the European model of socialism has lost one of its biggest proponents.
