Cover the Grave

The fawning coverage of Ted Kennedy in the dinosaur media is making me sick. Teddy suddenly has "risen above partisanship", when in life, he was among the most divisive Senators. (Just recall how President Bush allowed Kennedy to write the education bill only to have Teddy become one of Bush's most vociferous critics on everything else-especially trying to thwart victory in Iraq). Andrea Mitchell has been slobbering over the corpse on NBC, glossing over any failings. Other network reporters are virtually suggesting canonization. Saccharine biography becomes eulogy from so-called historians-how this royal graced us with his noblesse oblige of spending our tax-confiscated money on the dole dwellers and the deliberately unproductive. And to use his memory to force socialized medicine, which is wildly unpopular with the voting public, down our throats-Kennedy would be delighted, that is exactly how he operated as a leftist, partisan hack of a Senator. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has pushed care-denial of what he deems no longer productive senior citizens, and he has access to Obama's administration at the highest levels where he can become the effective equivalent of Dr. Jack Kevorkian for the nation's most vulnerable-the aged, infirm, chronically ill, and disabled. Yes, the Chappaquiddick drowner would be proud to have his name attached to this monstrous piece of terminal socialism.
