Former Democrat U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy received his eight year sobriety pin today, August 25. Congratulations Senator!

More HERE. Read more HERE. And, more HERE.  And HERE. And THIS IS REALLY GOOD!

The New York Daily News

But This? This is historical revisionism.

A gallery of Chappaquiddick Photos HERE. 

Some experts concluded that Mary Jo Kopechne was trapped inside the car for four hours, attempting to stay alive breathing small air pockets that slowly filled with water.

And because tragedy plus time equals comedy... (even Al Franken says so)...

* How did people find out Ted was dead?
  He didn’t show up to the bar this morning.

* Ted Kennedy never became president because unlike George Washington, he couldn’t cross a river.

* They have named a drink after Ted Kennedy. It’s called the Chappaquiddick. It’s made by mixing Gin and murky water.

*  I’d rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than being in a car with Ted Kennedy driving.

* If Ted Kennedy is to be buried in Martha’s Vineyard, the island will sink below  sea level.

* What's the difference between Ted Kennedy and the Iraqi Army?
  The Iraqi Army never killed anyone.

* Why did God create booze?
  So Ted Kennedy would never be president.

* What was Ted Kennedy's wedding present to his new wife?
  A life preserver.

Ted Kennedy loved Chappaquiddick jokes. That's morbid.

CBS News: Ted Kennedy's memoir; he feels remorse and guilt over Chappaquiddick.  Yeah - anyone buying another attempt at Ted's Chappaquiddick revision of history? 

A very detailed and researched essay on Chappaquiddick.

THIS? Disgusting and in bad taste. I wonder who wrote it?

 

CHEERS on the eight years of sobriety, Ted!

I'll visit again in one year on your 9th anniversary of sobriety.
