Kopechne

We have rightfully been fixated on the 40 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, it is the 40 year anniversary of another event:


The American Spectator has an excellent column on this sad subject. Mary Jo Kopechne would be 68 years old now had she not taken her ill-fated ride with Ted Kennedy. Now, the "Liberal Lion" of the Senate wants to drive us ALL off the bridge with this health care legislation. Ironically, all the advanced cancer treatments that Teddy is receiving now would NOT be available for us under the Congressional plan being advanced. American Thinker has a great piece on that subject this morning:

Is Senator Kennedy's life valuable enough to dedicate millions of dollars to extending it another month, another day, another year?

Because Barack Obama and Ted Kennedy agree with each other that they of all people are entitled to make that decision. Your decision to live or die will now be in their hands.
Take a hard look at this picture, then ask yourself this: "by what moral authority does Ted Kennedy OR ANY OTHER bureaucrat have to tell you what you can or cannot do with your health care?"

Amen. He is getting close to facing a real judgment that he cannot spin away from.

It is amazing how disgraced liberals, even ones guilty of manslaughter--get rehabilitated by the press, especially if your last name is Kennedy. Conservatives are required to leave public life, period. No space for mistakes.
