Spot-on piece by Mark Steyn: [Q] - We are enjoined not to speak ill of the dead. But, when an entire nation — or, at any rate, its “mainstream” media culture — declines to speak the truth about the dead, we are certainly entitled to speak ill of such false eulogists. In its coverage of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s passing, America’s TV networks are creepily reminiscent of those plays Sam Shepard used to write about some dysfunctional inbred hardscrabble Appalachian household where there’s a baby buried in the backyard but everyone agreed years ago never to mention it. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjZlNjA1MTRmYWViNjMwMDUyNjc1ZTg0NDQwZjk2ODc=&w=MA==
Read the whole thing. Especially you, Holly. Which reminds me, what did you think of the Kennedy kids pimping for ObamaCare, graveside? Bad enough when the adults do it, but putting words into kids mouths is below contempt. Which seems to be the essential character trait of the post-JFK Kennedy's. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
