The "Dead" Kennedys

It's a wonderful week for conservatives, where the Kennedys are concerned.

Only minutes after being interviewed at the post-inaugural lunch in the Capitol, everyone's favorite corpulent, unindicted murderer, the Tedster, a/k/a Teddy Kennedy, collapsed with a seizure.

Is he dead yet? Sadly, no. But hopefully getting much, much closer.

Some would say I'm being callous, insensitive and mean. I disagree (obviously). Rather, I think too many Republicans and conservatives extend unnecessary courtesy and tiptoe around Kennedy's damaging liberalism, not to mention his lack of intellect and habit of simply lying when it suits him.

The GOP has been far too easy on Kennedy for too long. Let's be honest. Only death will remove him from the Senate.

Question. Would you want a person who has experienced this many brain seizures, and has brain cancer, to be your Senator?

Does anyone really think this guy has whatever mental faculties he may once have possessed? Granted, they were never very formidable, but even the mundane ones he had must now be suspect.

But, that's not all.

Caroline Kennedy, Tedster's niece, and pretender to a Senate appointment for the vacant New York seat, announced that she is 'dropping out' of consideration. Funny how she tried to beat New York's governor to the punch, as he announced that she's out of the running.

It's somewhat hilarious that Caroline claimed her withdrawal is because of her ailing uncle Teddy.

Precious, but totally unbelievable.

There are, however, two silver linings. First, it seems that Americans, New Yorkers, and even the state's governor, realized how shameful Caroline's naked grab for power, based solely on her last name, and her father, was simply too much.

Second, as a result of the first, we may finally see a Kennedy-free Senate within the year.

Who said it's a totally dark time for conservatives?
