Ol’ Ted’s Public Option

Somehow I don’t think naming Obamacare after the famously overweight boozer and skirt-chaser is going to boost the chances of it passing. Not even if, as Dan Riehl says, there are some new features:

"…amending it to include mandatory long distance swimming lessons, as well as CPR and breath control classes for all Americans. Apparently one young woman wasn’t enough for Teddy. Now he can play a roll in the un-timely demise of more Americans than he could even count."

The Dems and their captive media may have loved the deceased hypocrite, but many Americans did not. So it’s still going to be pass-it-at-your-political-peril for those up for re-election next year.

Teddy, the incoherent liberal

"For all the talk of how much he cared for the weakest members of society, the fact is he helped kill tens of millions of the most vulnerable."

Think Viet Nam, Cambodia, Iraq, aborted babies, Mary Jo Kopechne, etc. I will, once again, defy convention and skip the hagiography for the dead liberal senator who I always found, at best, a curious fellow. The Brothers Judd, above, include a bit of the usual Big Media swoon, along with their biting commentary. Nevermind one-term Barry’s equally incoherent praise.

I saw ol’ Ted in person several times. He was enormously corpulent. Jowly. He was always campaigning for more tax money for more issues to "fight" more problems. Did he ever create a single thing on his own?
