When you end up in the hospital can we talk about how we hope you'll drop dead soon too?

As much as I DESPISE the man, it doesn't sound or look very humane to see that in print. Think it if you like, but no need to write it.

My point is simply that the news media locally is playing it up to the point you would think he has died?!?!?! The guy is after all....what....80 years old? He is bound to have a "health scare" or two!!! I hope he has a full recovery....he never did anything to me so I wish him well. I do think the media has more important things to talk about....15 full minutes on the news about this???? There was a cyclone, a massive earthquake that combined might have killed over 200,000 people and they talk about that in passing??????

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I don't wish the guy any harm either, but the continual banner across the bottom of channel 4 while watching golf yesterday was a bit much. And then the play by play by "Mike I wanabe a Kennedy", Barnicle, was a little over the top. Barnicle bought a house inside the block in Hyannis that is called the compound just to be close. It was said that was (his address) the only thing that saved him from ruin after the plajarism scandal a few years ago at the Globe. Remember the black female reporter was banished for plajarism by the Globe, and Barnicle was just kind of castoff for awhile.

Really though we should have some respect, this is the same guy who invented Vodka tenting as a family bonding adventure on the rivers of Maine.

And without Ted Massachusetts would never have received the 15 to 18 billion dollars it did for the big dig. Stay breathing Teddy the tunnels are still leaking.

Me either !
Growing up as a kid in the 60s being Italian and more specific Sicilian, people stereotyped you or your family as being mafia or criminals when fact , most all are hard working, law abiding, religious, family oriented people.
Where did the Kennedy fortune come from ?
Joe Kennedy being a murderer and bootlegger (scotch) !
Gets his POS son elected press with his filthy money, makes his other son Bobby attorney general who goes prosecuting mafia members (hypocrits)
As for Teddy, I doubt Mary Joe Kopechne's family will shed any tears for him !

Granted, Teddy has given us good reasons to not like him.

But the fact of the matter is, he's spent pretty much his entire life passionately working for the American people.

Like or not like his politics, this is worthy of some respect.

High and mighty?
Being a retard and hoping someone is dying is pretty damn high and mighty.

I detect a rampant case of cranial rectal insertion.

Maybe 40 years from now we can hear this line...

Growing up as a kid in the 00s being Spanish and more specific Hispanic, people stereotyped you or your family as being lazy or Illegal when fact , most all are hard working, law abiding, religious, family oriented people.

Only people keeping Stereotypes alive are the ones who feel they've been stereotyped.

kind of a lame excuse to wish a guy dead.

+1 to that...

The only Sicilian friend I have is a pretty hard working guy, his only fault is how much time he spends around that pogyman...but that's another issue...

That's not very PC. I'm a little dissapointed that we have to hear trash like this. Someday Ted will be rolling over in his grave. ( and I wouldn't be to close when that happens)

Blah, blah, blah........he's a fat, drunken, lying, murderer. He couldn't get work bagging groceries at Stop and Shop, if not for Daddy's illegaly obtained fortune. But, you liberals would vote Mike Ducucca in again if he ran. Boohoo for Teddy Gin nose. What a buncha!

PLEASE PICK UP YOUR TRASH!
