Quote Of The Day
An absolutely brilliant post, Ron!!
In the 1960’s and 70’s, Eastern Airlines operated a shuttle service between DC’s National Airport, New York LaGuardia, and Boston. Planes left every hour, no reservations required, and at one point they flew turboprop Lockheed Electras, which had a semicircular couch-like seat at the rear of the passenger compartment. On one of those flights, the plane was full and I was sitting on the couch with several others when Ted Kennedy came striding down the aisle looking for a seat. We scrooched around and made room, one of us said “Good evening Senator, have a seat”, and His Highness squeezed in. He never said even thank you how are you or uttered a word the whole flight, just stared straight ahead, avoiding eye contact. In those days, flying was done in coat and tie business attire, not the refugee bum look popular today, but he was still too high and mighty to even use common good manners with the hoi palloi.
Today, Ted is still an un-indicted manslaughtering adulterous egocentric gasbag.
I concur and applaude the post!!

Make that 2 out of four, OCM. Don’t forget Joe Jr. He died on a mission in WW-2. He counts as one of the good ones.
Bobby was a fuckin’ carpetbagger. I lived in NY at the time he became Senator. He did the same thing that Shrillary did decades later. I wish I had the editorial cartoon that appeared in the Buffalo Evening News at the time.
