Quote:Ted Kennedy has been alive and legislating for nearly half a century. Do we really have to dredge up a scandal from four decades ago in order to... what? Judge his opinion of health care?Maybe you don't understand: Ted Kennedy blew his shot at being president by getting drunk and driving himself and that young lass into the water. She didn't manage the emergency egress as well as he did. It was written off as "just one of those things." It's called "a free pass." In other news, Gary Hart just got caught messing about with Donna Rice and he didn't get a free pass. Ms Rice didn't die as the result of her association with a political big wig.
What's next, the Watergate thread? Maybe we should start one on the Teapot Dome? This is *ancient* news. Maybe it still matters to you, but it's certainly a dry stone as a topic.

The Health Care Bill was presented out of Committee in the Holy Name of Fat and Drunken Ted by the Chairman Dodd.
Ted has been trying to bring big ticket socialistic habits to America for about 40 years, or basically ever since his brother RObert was shot trying to do the same thing.
