My last comment, I do agree about the MJ coverage and it`s still going on.

The media does not have anything else they can keep raving about. They want viewer`s and listener`s. Even if it`s old news. I apologize for getting off topic.

This thread was about what people thought about Kennedy. And that`s where it should have stayed. And no one should be kicked to the curb for their opinions, or their colorful descriptions of what they think.

No matter what anyone says, The Kennedy`s were not your typical all american family. It`s my opinion that they were typical office holders, as are most, power hungry, money hungry and thought they were above the rules. Ted included.

woah... got a little hostility there for me huh!!!!! Well Im not sure what it is about me that has gotten under your skin but it is plainly obvious that you dislike me and all the things that I post... which is quite a lot from the totally random to the very informative btw as you can see by most post count. Are you from Massachusetts then cause it doesnt say so on your profile? Well either way I am and all I was saying is that 3 days after he dies it is no longer "breaking news" There have been other people killed and who hav e died here in the past three days and not too mention sharks in the water off the cape... the Obamas on vacation here... a few burgularies... and where is the good stuff or is all news bad these days... my point was that it is ALL that is on TV and on 3 major channels. I am not disrespecting Kennedy whom by the way i did vote for I am dissing on the media who seem to always take things way overboard. Some news coverage is one thing... and not to mention durring the news hours like 8am, noon, 5pm, and 11pm... but im not exagerating when i say ALL DAY LONG. Now today was an actual story... all the political figures here and his family reading prayers and stuff... its actually something to see/watch... but yesterday they showed the front of a building that he was inside of for oh i dont know... about 20 minutes!!!

So tone your hostility down and get a grip on reality!!!

Just grabbed you, PP, as the MJ caught my eye. Monk and I went to the Goodwill the other day, looking for a shirt for him for picture day. We're on the way out and he whispers..."Mom...you won't believe this"...so, am thinking it's some wrestling stuff yet what is in the glass cases by the register? MJ stuff...TONS of MJ, from life stories to discs to buttons...you name it, there it was! Icon or not, the poor guy needs to rest in peace....yet for whatever reason, if there's something that someone feels can be marketed, then poof...there it is! What a greedy culture we live in, but at any rate...just felt the need to share that:)

And you're more than correct...the Kennedy clan was never typical nor will they be. They are so far past the American Dream and seemingly have gotten away with so much, well...again...God be with them.
