OK, the Gitmo thing is really, really stupid.

This is despicable:

U.S. troop funds diverted to pet projects - Washington Times

[Mr. Bill]

I'm not sure why the troops shouldn't give up some of their due for Eddie "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy to have $20 million for his museum. It's not like the Kennedy family can do it by themselves. They need a whole bunch of taxpayer money from people in states like Texas and Wyoming in order to make sure that place looks a little better than a mausoleum.

Quite true. If you want to attract visitors to some otherwise dull place like that you have to liven it up a bit. Perhaps, they could have like a huge aquarium where once an hour there is a re-enactment of Kennedy's car plunging into the water and Mary Jo scratching the roof of the car. And you could have another exhibit nearby to simultaneously show Teddy on his back to Hyannis while this is happening.

You have to make history come alive for people who were not even alive at that time. If they want to show the most defining moments in Senator Kennedy's life then surely that is obligatory.

I am not completely sure (might have to revise my thinking) but I think the water there at the Chappaquddick bridge is actually saltwater, part of the one tidal estuaries on the island. If so, you could have some lobsters and crabs in the tank there too crawling around the car for special effects. Love that type of exhibit.

I don't know quite what to say. Possibly the best post EVER!!!!

Watch out those libs will be highly offended at this post. How dare you make a mockery of this man's good name?

They're not offended that this event occured only that you speak about it now.

The only person who made a mockery of his good name was Teddy.
