” I was surprised to see Bloody Mary’s being served. I truly was in a town filled with Kennedys. ”
” kept thinking that it looked like the type of place where people like Eliot Spitzer and Ted Kennedy kept their girlfriends. ”
As much as I disagree with Teddy, lets all pray he makes it through this.
Yeah, that was some news about Kennedy today. I hope he’s okay. Whatever you think of the Kennedys, Teddy’s eventual passing will truly mark the end of an American era. Suddenly I feel old…
Ya’ know, I was never one to but into all that Camelot schpeel, having a more realistic view of the Kennedy’s; the good, the bad, and the indifferent. Heck, I remember getting into heated debates with my big “D” Democrat family over whether JFK was really the liberal icon he’s made out to be (I always thought he was a bit of a status quo corporatist). But you can’t deny the impact this family has had on the American psyche and mythology – our very identity.
Update: Normally on Saturdays I sleep until noon. Since the Chicago Cannonball is in town, I had to get up at an ungodly hour (before 10am). I hit the publish button on my column that was pre-written several days ago. I did not check the news. I then went to the beach, which I have not done in years.
I just got home, and saw the news about Senator Kennedy.
I fiercely disagree with his politics, but the man is a human being. Had I known about his condition before I published today’s column, the line regarding him would have been excised.
Got it. No prob. Actually, I couldn’t imagine having taken offense at what you said in the first place,,, it was funny. We can’t live life without the ‘funny’ just for death.

Eric having traveled to DC MANY times, I want to know where you can find even a Courtyard by Marriott for only $100.

I also hope he survives. I may not like his politics but I never wish this stuff on anybody.

Stick around Teddy. America needs you.

I realize that you printed this before you knew about Kennedy Eric.
I meant no critisism towards you.
