Remember!

Always remember....

    Paul Trost, 20, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., says he was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., in which the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.


    Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

    "Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center Tuesday morning.

    Just as Kennedy began speaking, Trost was walking out of the room when he shouted, "Remember Chappaquiddick!"

    "Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."


Gasped.. I bet.
    The student said one of his teachers confronted him after a class about the Chappaquiddick issue.

    "One of my teachers called me ignorant and told me this was an embarrassment to the school," Trost told WND. "She said to me, 'Can't you forgive him after all these years?' And I said, 'No, he killed somebody.'

    "If it had been me or any other person, we'd be in jail," Trost says he told his instructor.


It is unknown if Senator Kennedy's face got any redder than usual.

Ahh, the hardships young Edward faced, growing up a Kennedy in Hyannis port. Really, it drives me to tears thinking about it. Which Harvard fraternity would he join? What ARE the restrictions on his trust fund? Truly a hardscrabble existence.

Chappaquiddick kept him out of the White House, at least. If the Commonwealth wants to send this drunk, vicious, murderer to the Senate every six years, that is their Constitutional right.

I can respect most every holder of elective office on some level, but after the Alito hearings, I can no longer extend this courtesy to Senator Kennedy.

Not in defense of Ted, but of the veracity of information on our dear blog, I'll correct your otherwise perfect characterization of him as "drunk, GUTLESS, murderer." The murder he committed was an act of cowardice, not viciousness.

Senator Kennedy is a vicious man. He attacks his enemies publicly with distortions and lies. When he is attacked with truth he shows indignation. I will not take that adjective back.

Fair enough... you had a comma betwixt them.

"Drunk, vicious, gutless murderer."

You're right. Again, be very careful. That Threesources Editor position is still open...

Most errors I let slide. This one was material: A United States senator who should be in prison.
