Last Brother-No Longer Standing

He carried himself gracefully in that final year. A picture showing he and Vicki (his wife) emerging from a Hospital after first being disclosed presents an interesting test for all who saw it. He seemed relieved while his wife actually smiles as if they are both in agreement. Its time to play with the Brothers who left a long time ago but-In real time-was yesterday. Teddy Kennedy had his nasty episodes in life. But a booze soaked night takes it toll on the biggest and brightest intellects in our historical society. His enemies seized and he stood before the glare shamed, embarrassed, in total trauma having regained sobriety to realize that a woman who trusted him was now the victim laying in a Morgue as a result of a rogue drunken action called  "Chappaquiddick" Time passed and more unsavory episodes. All on the road to becoming a lionized Statesman. It is adequate for one to think that this is not the last we will hear of The Kennedy's. But the flourishing Sons of Joseph Senior first father of The SEC will never be repeated in this lifetime. Baby Boomers such as this writer will always carry the shock, grief, outrage as not One, but Two, promising figures of our culture were cut down in their Prime. And that a Lone remaining brother took his turn at the bottom of the heap-found a trash burner and destroyed all the devils who pursued him . And in the end this day-as the end of day broke through to another evening of the eternal flame Teddy Kennedy was laid to rest permanently with his brothers. It would not be surprising to drop by Arlington maybe in the future and see the ghosts of them all-cavorting with each other, That was indeed called Brotherly Love.

" It would not be surprising to drop by Arlington maybe in the future and see the ghosts of them all-cavorting with each other" With the ghosts of Marilyn Monroe, Mary Jo Kopechne and several other women looking on and crying.

I guess we could say the same for the Bush family when their time comes with all the families of slain for nothing soldiers families looking on and crying. Or Newt Gingrich with his ex-wife who was dying from cancer doing the same. Or a ton of other phony family values type Conservative leaders who claimed being above the fray while their useless dongs pulverized as many bodies as they could find but they called it justified sex. Glass Houses Mr Cynic crack and break quite easily and so do warped brains that call themselves cynics. Might be a good idea to sit down and hold Governor Sanford's hand or Jack Ensigns and a number of others.

My you do have some issues.   I don't recall lionizing the Bushes or Gingrich.  There is a cult of worship of the dirt bag Kennedys that is wrong, plain wrong.

As there is when someone calls themselves cynical. Check the dirt bag of the Bush and Gingrich family pal and you just may find the Bones
