Like all figures in history — and like those in the Bible, for that matter — Kennedy came with flaws. Moses had a temper. Peter betrayed Jesus. Kennedy had Chappaquiddick, a moment of tremendous moral collapse.
Carl comes up with the most gorge-gurgling comment yet about Saint Ted Kennedy.
Submit to Stumbled Upon!
Carl needs to go to Sunday School. Judas betrayed Jesus, Thomas doubted him, Peter denied and, on several occasions, questioned him . I’m surprised that someone who went to Our Lady of the Hickory Stick didn’t catch that.
Just wondering - did they consult the wife, or the numerous “girlfriends” for testimony on this?

Of all the attempts to put a shiny polish on Turd Kennedy we’ve had inflicted upon us since he began to assume ambient temperature, I (so far) loathe this one the most.
Oh, please…just because persistence pays off, in the end, does NOT make it an unalloyed virtue. In Teddy-boy’s case, it was not a virtue at all - quite the opposite.
Persistence, in the end, was all he had - which in his case was bad for everyone, including himself.

That was precisely the point I made: I was quoting a Boston Globe columnist, who obviously was unfamiliar with the Bible.
