I want to create a Kennedy who never dies

Sigh.

Wouldn't want passers-by to see 'em. We're just a buncha clowns, after all.

I give you a kick!

Not sure I got your reply either.

Oedi got mine, I'm sure. I kicked it up. Can't recommend, though.

And I'm mourning, too. Check GD tomorrow for my threads about how Europe honors Ted Kennedy. :hi:

:cry:

I've been thinking about that all day.

:wtf:

but i agree with you wholeheartedly. :fistbump:

:hug: :grouphug:

Thank you.

Well, there's still Maria Shriver, too.

I imagine it's hard to grow up in the shadows of legends and giants.

Certainly Kennedy was not the latent peacenik Oliver Stone alluded to in his JFK movie. Many critics point out that in the war LBJ only followed the linear logic of Kennedy's Vietnam policy. Others counter that LBJ really followed Kennedy's policy to it's linear extreme, while JFK's history was one of handling problems with much more finesse than Johnson ever showed, that he would have come up with a creative solution that would have been equally unpopular with Johnson's megawar, but a good deal less inflammatory to the nation. I personally wonder just how many "creative solutions" to Vietnam there might have really been--probably none. He would never have fully withdrawn US troops from South Vietnam--the conflict would have sullied his reputation as badly as it did to LBJ.

 

Kennedys, The Next Generation.

Here in Maryland former lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend lost her gubernatorial bid, and gave us the first Republican governor in a long time in a blue state. Fortunately, he lasted one term.

His lieutenant governor won't go away, though. Michael Steele, now chairman of the GOP.

Mark Shriver ran for a congressional seat, and lost in the primary to Chris Van Hollen, our very visible congressman.

:P

If only...

:kick:

I think that what the Kennedys stand for will live forever.

At least Teddy got to live a full live. We lost a hero.
