Another one bites the dust

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat and liberal who was the last surviving brother of a legendary political family, died late Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, his family announced. He got to live as long as to 77.

Kennedy had been in declining health since having a seizure in May 2008. Subsequent tests determined that he had a malevolent brain tumour. As the standard-bearer for the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, "Teddy" believed in government's ability to help solve people's problems, and over the decades he learned how to wield power in the Senate to move the government in that direction. In other words a leftie nut-job.

I think I leave Obnoxio The Clown to cover this news in his own little way:

Obnoxio The Clown

Eddie's Teddy
From the day he was born, he was trouble.
He was the thorn in his country's side.
They tried in vain, but he never caused them nothing but shame.
He lost shame when they tried...

From the day she was gone, all he wanted
Was left-wing porn; to fund the IRA
Shooting up junk
He was a low-down, cheap little punk.
Taking Mary-Jo for a ride...

When Teddy said he didn't save Kopechne you knew he was a no-good kid
But when he threatened her life with a sinking car
When he died
Makes you smile
Und I did.

Everybody shoved him, I very nearly loved him
I said hey listen to me, stay sane inside insanity
But he locked the door and threw away the key...

But he must been drawn into something
Making him warn me in a note which reads (what's it say, what's it say?)
"I'm outta my head, O hurry or I may be dead.
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds..."

When Teddy said he didn't save Kopechne you knew he was a no-good kid
But when he threatened her life with a sinking car
When he died
Makes you smile
Und I did.

Rest in absolute misery, you murdering scum.
