1. Wow, he's even further to the left than...

...John Kerry.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. Not according to the chimp!

The chimp claims that Ed is the "conservative" Senator from Mass. Needless to say, the chimp is full of shit on all matters big and small.

[vptpt]

14. Yeah

That's what I was getting at. Damn liberals and their funeral attendingness.

2. Have you a link to the article?

Thx.

[leftchick]

8. Sorry no article....Here is a link to the photos....

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?g=events/iraq/082701iraqplane&a=&tmpl=sl&ns=&l=0&e=3&a=&printer=

and you can rate them up. I find a hell of a lot of information in the Yahoo photo galleries that never makes it into an actual article.

[LynnTheDem]

11. thanks!

:)

[merh]

3. Thank you Senator Kennedy!

God forgive me, but I really hate the folks in power! They have stolen and are destroying my nation; they have hijacked and are distorting and perverting my faith; and they cause me to damage my soul by hating them so!

[Cha]

4. This is the way it should be..remember

when Clinton used to go to soldier's funerals?

Shame on repukes!

[robbedvoter]

6. "How do you want him to pick one over the others"? Pickles once asked

splaining to us why W avoids funerals (he just doesn't want to offend the others)

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Maybe he should just go to all them --

keep him busy. Idle hands, doncha know...

[markdd]

7. Photos of Kerry doing this....

and mention that * has never done it would either turn all the red states blue or set of a Faux sh*tstorm like we've never seen before.

[porphyrian]

9. I really like Ed Kennedy.

If you haven't yet, listen to some of the speeches he gives to the Senate (I usually catch him on CSPAN). He tears assholes left and right.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

12. That's something I've always been curious about.

If Kennedy's first name is Edward, why does everyone call him "Ted"?

[porphyrian]

16. Oops, I did call him Ed, didn't I...?

Um, I'm not really sure. Maybe there is another Ed in the house, and they didn't want to get them confused?

[txindy]

19. Ted is also a nickname for Edward, although less common now

Just like people really don't give someone the nickname 'Dick' anymore -- unless you're on live television and your real name is Tucker Carlson. :evilgrin: :toast:

[billyskank]

20. Dick's more of a description than a name, isn't it?

FWIW my name is Richard, too.

[txindy]

22. A description? Nowadays, I think so, yes.

Especially as used by Jon Stewart. ;)

[Bandit]

25. I think Dick and Tucker are now interchangible

If your name is Richard you can now be called Tucker if you wish.

10. like George says,

he 'does things difrint than Masachoosits libruls'

[diamond14]

13. the dead soldier's SON breaks down holding OUR flag (PHOTO)

21. This picture just breaks my heart....

These poor kids lost their dad. Seeing such raw, painful emotions brings me to tears.

I am so sad and so damn mad!

[n2mark]

17. Mark my words

we will now have photo ops with the Shrub at funerals until after the election.

[txindy]

18. Ted Kennedy knows what it's like to lose a family member in a war

His brother, Joe, was killed on a mission in WWII. Something like that never leaves you.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. The Democratic governor of Oregon

has been attending the funerals of all Oregonians killed in Iraq.

[Richardo]

24. Teddy's a veteran from a family of veterans, that's why....

He knows. :thumbsup:
