Teddy Without Tears
It's a dirty job and Gawker loves to do it:He was the very definition of a functional alcoholic, able to achieve bipartisan compromises on important health care legislation by day and then fuck a lobbyist on the floor of a restaurant by night. He destroyed Robert Bork's chance at being on the Supreme Court, and paparazzi snapped him fucking a girl on his boat. He and Chris Dodd went out boozing and skirtchasing together. They'd later be joined by Ted's fuckup son Patrick and fuckup nephew William Kennedy Smith. After hitting the bar with son and nephew in Palm Beach in 1991, William allegedly raped one of the women he and Patrick had picked up. Ted testified. William was acquitted.True, they wimp out at the end but, hey, they're perverts too.

Your Say
"We" (many of us opted out) celebrated the grotesque in the life and death of Michael Jackson. We do the same with the Kennedys.

The comments to that article (I only made it through the first 20 or so) reveal the sickness existing in the minds of a good 30-40% of our populace (and probably 60+% of the people who live in Mass), and help explain why people like President Wee Wee'd get elected.
