Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-Mass.) widow said on ABC’s “This Week” that her husband wouldn’t have been surprised at Chief Justice John Roberts siding with liberals on the court in the ObamaCare ruling.
“I think he felt very strongly in health care reform. He had studied this issue for more than 40 years,” Vicki Kennedy told George Stephanopolous this morning. “He believed in it. He believed in its constitutionality. He had looked at it in every way. And I think he would have been pleased, but not surprised.”
She talked about the “lovely, lovely call” she received from Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was speaker of the House when healthcare reform passed.
“She fought valiantly for health care,” Kennedy said. “She led the House of Representatives beautifully in fighting and championing health care for all Americans. She’s — really was a real, real heroine in this battle.”
Kennedy dismissed polls reflecting ObamaCare’s unpopularity, saying that “when people look at each individual provision, it’s wildly popular.”
“As people know more and more about these, as they reap these benefits, they embrace them, and it’s a very, very exciting day in America,” she said.
Kennedy said she would mark the 20th anniversary of her marriage to Kennedy this week “privately.”
Do we really need to read anything more about any those Kennedy’s?
…correction….read…”any of those Kennedy’s?”
Kennedy excitement is a fire gone out of the universe.
“As people know more and more about these, as they reap these benefits, they embrace them, and it’s a very, very exciting day in America,” she said.
Seriously, these people are all delusional. Did you read any of the effing bill? Ten years of taxes for six years of service! In what f**king universe is that sustainable? Do they understand the costs have already superceded what was predicted and the revenue has already fallen short of projections? Do any of these morons know how to read and count at all or do they just live off the fortunes some greedy ancestor made and spend their days sucking down vodka and avoiding sales taxes on their yachts? Dumber than a bag of drunken $600 hammers.
Memo to commiecrat propaganda media: Ted Kennedy is roasting in hell for his mortal sins and is beyond the reach of Obamacare. No one is interested in anything his widow has to say nor about how drunken Ted would feel.
The only thing Kennedy “studied” for forty years was young girls’ butts and the insides of liquor bottles.
All the rest was pure pandering, from an idiot’s perspective.
He was always a drunken fool. “Lion of the Senate”? Don’t Biden, Dodd, and that scumbag from Maryland, Sourbones make up the rest of the pride?
It was all media spin. Biden’s a dope, Kennedy and Dodd are skirt-chasing old drunks, and Sarbanes is a pathetic, although accomplished, liar.
Well, male lions sit around all day, eat all the food, and screw all the females. Other than that, they’re useless.
I guess they were lions, after all.
– now in Malta with its Catholic Knights and like Fat Ted drinking wine and gobbling red meat just as in the Dark Ages.
Kennedy women are famous for being gentle little ladies who shut up and did what they were told, and turned a blind eye to the fact that Kennedy men too often behaved like pigs. Why would anybody credit anything this one has to say?
Didn’t Ted’s ex-wife try to contest the annulment Ted obtained for their marriage? Rebecca, at least she didn’t stay quiet.
Anyhow, cheaters and lairs know each other; that’s the lesson.
Yes, she did. But it took a lot of alcohol.
Teddy was also very happy to stab Ronald Reagan in the back, sending one of his top aides (Strobe Talbott, IIRC), to offer tactical assistance to the Soviets during Reagan’s Strategic Arms Talks.
Back in the days when we still had a country, some might have called that treason.
Kennedy not only killed a woman. He sided with the Soviets over his own country.
Sorry if I don’t give a rat’s ass for his stance on health care. I have no doubt it was more motivated by getting everyone to vote Democrat than it was to help the ‘little guy’.
