Underwhelmed

What was my reaction to Ted Kennedy's death?

________________*birds chirping*____________________

Was his death as "shocking" and "tragic" as the MSM is trying to make us believe? No. He was 77 years old and had a terminal illness.

Like others, I definitely had my opinions about him. But, the following has more meaning to me, than just about Ted Kennedy:

    I saw what Ted Kennedy did to Robert Bork. I saw what he did to Kopechne. There was not a noble bone in that savage’s body. Any political position he took was calculated to garner him power. No more, no less. Which I suppose one could say about most politicians, absent the body in the Olds and scalps in the closet. Kennedy did not inspire: he merely counted coup.

    I just remember being quite stoned (while visiting Chappaquiddick — M), and staring into that little pissant pond of water, and thinking: how do you get out of a car, and shut the fucking door, and swim away, when there’s somebody else in the car? That’s all I kept thinking: he had to have shut the door on her, because she asphyxiated. At any rate, I never explored the details. I suppose he could have enticed her to roll a window up behind him. In an upside down car.

    Ted is how I’ll always look at liberals: you can walk down the halls of the Senate with a goddamned severed head in hand, but if your politics are correct the entire fucking universe of the left will surround you, and protect you, and nurture you. Because only the game matters. No rules, no decency, no pride, no law. Just the fucking game. And winning.

To be honest, I detest politicians.

It doesn't matter whether they are on the left, right or center. No, they may not all have dead bodies in their life, but they are all the same.

The bigger this country has grown, the bigger the government has grown. And that growth included, politicians heads. The bigger they got, the smaller we have become. In the grand scheme, we are all "collateral", like ants at a picnic". Ants do not need much to eat, do not need much attention. They can be swept away if they get in the way.

But, they need our votes. So they'll say anything to get them. Doesn't really matter if it's true or not. And for the most part, it's all a bunch of lies.

All that really matters, is the grand scheme. Their political future. Their egos and reputation within their world. They belong to their own world, which in no way, resembles our own.

The media? The brown nosing, gold digging media? Dead bodies, untasteful friends and ideals, are just minor inconveniences. To be overlooked, like your brother's drinking problem.

We of course, have no choice but to "pick" a politician. Kind of like rummaging through a drawer of stained and holy socks, we must find a pair with the least amount of stains and the smallest holes. But, we walk around all day, knowing deep down inside, that we are wearing a pair of stained socks, full of holes.

As far as Ted Kennedy is concerned, we can only hope, that like the title of the Cold Fury post I found this on, that he'll,
