Ding! Dong! The Kennedy Is Dead!

SOLO-International Press Release: Ding! Dong! The Kennedy Is Dead!

August 26, 2008

Not since the capture of Saddam Hussein has America had as much reason to celebrate as it has over the death of the evil Senator Edward Kennedy, says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

"This treasonist opposed the overthrow of Saddam, even though he was one of those who initially believed Saddam had WMDs. When he thought there was political capital to be made from opposing the attempt to remove that tyrant, he opposed it. He called it 'Bush's Vietnam,'notwithstanding that it was his brother who took America into that ill-fated venture.

"Kennedy drove a floozie whom he was intending to bonk off a bridge and failed even to try to rescue her from the waters into which he'd plunged her. He got away with it because he was a Kennedy. He went on to sponsor various initiatives designed to turn America into a socialist state. Most recently, Kennedy has been at the forefront of the move to nationalize health care in America—he whose own care was furnished so excellently by the private sector.

"Senator Kennedy was a two-timer, a hypocrite, a murderer and a communist. His death should occasion nothing but exultation. It should spell the end of Sovietized health care of the type he and Obama have been trying to sneak and rush through the legislative process.

"The old saying, 'Good riddance to bad rubbish' could scarcely be more apposite in the circumstances," Perigo concludes.
