Of course this is the hot topic in the news rooms today. Senator Ted Kennedy passed away last night due to brain cancer. I'm sure all of the tributes and comments will be lovely. As you remember Eunice Kennedy just passed two weeks ago herself. But as long as Ted Kennedy has been a senator and as much as all the news coverage will be heartfelt, how is it possible that people have forgotten how corrupt this man has been?
Someone doesn't spend nearly fifty years in the senate without being corrupt. His family has had their hands in so much dirt that no one is surprised by the "Kennedy Curse." His leaving the scene of an accident that killed a woman. And not even calling authorities until after the body was recovered. He was an alcoholic womanizer. He attempted to cover up a rape his nephew allegedly committed in his home one night after an evening of partying. He is rumored to have paid off individuals to get his nephew acquitted of the crime. He was even rumored to assist in the cover up of Martha Moxely's infamous murder at the hands of Kennedy clan member Michael Skakel.
All of his years of "service" to this country has not and does not make up for any of the murders, cover ups, and illegal activity in my opinion. The Kennedys are known for playing dirty and always have been. So maybe God is paying them back in His own way. But this is one life that I won't be celebrating. If I owned an American flag, there's no way in hell I'd be flying it half- staff!
