Death of a Dangerous Pig

When I was younger, I worked at one of the nation’s leading cancer research hospitals. I watched my mother die of cancer in that very hospital. I deeply empathize with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s suffering and that of his family. No one should have to die in such a manner.

That said. I believe it is hypocrisy to lionize someone simply because they have suffered and died – particularly when that person deserves no lionization at all.

Ted Kennedy was a dangerous pig. An elitist who perceived average Americans as utensils for the machinations of avaricious scoundrels like his father Joe, who was a bootlegger and Nazi sympathizer, Teddy hid his money offshore while appropriating as much of ours as he could. Throughout his political career, he crafted legislation to accomplish the worst of the worst in terms of subjugating Americans’ liberties, weakening our foreign policy, stultifying our economy and compromising our borders.

He was a murderer; he left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his car in 1969 whilst saving his own fat, drunken ass. He was a coward: He failed to report the accident for more than a day so as to sober up and get his story straight. He was a loud, boorish drunk, an adulterer and a womanizer.

Finally, to the end of his struggle with cancer, he connived to circumvent legal statutes he had instituted in order to keep his Senate seat within his own corrupt party.

In the practical sense, all I can say is: It’s a good day for America. Good riddance to some extremely bad rubbish.
