Obituary for Edward Kennedy

In the past, we may have inadvertently conveyed the impression that the late Edward "Ted" Kennedy was, as were his hailed brothers, in some way an irresponsible womanizer who had left a young woman to die a horrible death in a submerged car because her presence alive might have embarrassed him. We now realise as of Tuesday morning that the scion of the most reprobate and degenerate illustrious and famously fate-stricken family in the entire Western world was in fact the most saintly man who has ever lived, who, with his charitable political activities, brought hope and succour to hundreds and millions of people all over the world.

We would like to express our sincere and deepest hypocrisy to all our readers on this tragic day and hope and pray that they will carry on reading our blog notwithstanding.


I stole the idea from a back print number of Private Eye who had applied the trick to the death of Princess Diana.

Yes, it IS funny! I may say so because I have stolen it.

Kennedy was not quite as widely loved outside of Massachusetts as the Democratic Party and the main stream media like to believe. The glitter starting wearing off of Camelot long, long ago. I also think the infatuation with all things Kennedy was somewhat generational. The up and comings don't really know or care to know much about the Kennedy legacy.
