Examination of the Kennedy-Andropov gambit

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Apparently, today, Hotair.com has examined recent revelations involving Ted Kennedy and former Kay-Gee-Used-to-Bee chief Yuri Andropov. It's an 80's scandal that I certainly didn't know about.

I realize that the man has just been buried, but the adage goes, "the more I know him, the less I like him."

Remind me again - why did my college's newspaper devote today's op-ed section to this guy's memory?

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Because he's a leftist and a Kennedy? What more needs to be said?

This bit has been known for quite a while, but of course not much attention has ever been brought to it except on the conservative talk show circuit.

True, but then, few people knew about Chappaquiddick until this week (I did, though). Here is a fun example of such:

Thank you, media whitewash.

Yikes!

This will not garner any attention as now the communists area dvising the president. Just ask Van Jones.

I read this today on HotAir and my jaw dropped. It's one thing to suspect Kennedy and his ilk of corruption and wrong doing, but to learn how he actually did it? Too many people try to brush over the terrible things he did in light of all the good things.

Just more hypocrisy from the left. They ridiculed Bush for being a spoiled rich kid who used his family money to get ahead and the Kennedy's were 100x worse.

And the Kennedys are the poster children for elitism. And we'll get revisionist history, next. Just you wait.

Meanwhile, Bush is still Hitler, and we'll be told so for the next thousand years.

On top of being a murderer, he was a traitor. Nice.

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

And he was successful on both counts. How about that?

*is fuming*

I knew about this already, but reading this makes me angry all over again.

It's crap like this that made me avoid the television for the past week. I didn't want to dedicate any of my time to this murdering traitor's "memory."

was it possible for this guy to be any worse?
