RIP Ted Kennedy (No Politics)

...the skier that was.

He was known to ski at Stowe and Sugarbush back in the day.

The above picture was him at Butternut Basin in Massachusetts.

Regardless of his politics, you have to admit that he was an interesting character.

I remember Bobby Kenndy and family stayed at the scribner hollow lodge in Hunter in the 60's I believe. They use to have a picture of him skiing in the lodge at Hunter. Not sure if Ted ever skied there.

I'm torn about this

Didn't he drive off a bridge??? My republican friends on Facebook down in DC are having a fun day of Ted Kennedy bashing...anyway there was an article about him in Newsweek about how he is for Universal Healthcare..RIP Ted..

Despite all the other stuff the one of the big things that kept him in office was his constituent services. He took care of the people that came to him for help. The man knew how to get stuff done.

We buried my wifes uncle today. I'll shortly be taking my wife out for lunch and have a drink and toast to him. As far as Kennedy and every other politician are concerned, they can all kiss my big black ass.

they can all kiss my big black ass.

Awesome!!!!!

I'll give him, or really his family, a modicum of respect for a little while. Still the death of a fellow human.

Just because someone is part of history doesn't mean they deserve tribute any more than any other human.

I could not agree with you more, but the flip side is they don't deserve to be ridiculed in death because they where part of history either.

Upon the passing of one of our loved ones I doubt anyone would want to read vile comments about them and how others were glad he or she was dead.
