I have a brief comment on the Passing of Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy that will be my last word… for now.
He was a worm, a coward and a worthless waste of oxygen, and he deserves the just reward I believe he has finally received. Perhaps Mary Jo Kopechne will hear him call from his place in hell and ask for relief the way the rich man in the parable called to Abraham (Luke 16:19-31). That’s the best I can imagine happening for the rest of his eternity, and if his enablers don’t take a lesson from his life (and it appears they have not, as yet), he can expect to have “rooms” prepared for them near his own eternal abode.
Luke 16:19-31 (New King James Version)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”
So to any of Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy’s extended family of enablers, I have but one comment: /sarcasm: on
Ritengo il vostro dolore; senso vostro angoscia
/sarcasm: off
*yawn* And I don’t flippin’ care, you partners-in-crime of a toxic bag of pus.
Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy: T.I.H., at last.
BTW, I’m not being hard enough on Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy. Van Helsing @ Moonbattery has this to say in “Death of a Traitor,” in a repeat of a piece from 2006,
The same Ted Kennedy who rants and rails against W’s attempts to defend us from terrorists arguably crossed the line from useful idiocy into outright treason when he offered to assist Soviet dictator Yuri Andropov in developing a public relations strategy to counter Reagan’s foreign policy — the foreign policy that was to defeat the Soviet menace without a shot being fired.
Yep, coward, drunken killer, priviledged scofflaw and, arguably, traitor: Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy. Too late dead. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
