Friday's Dispatch
- "‘Octomom’ is repulsively grim 2 hours of TV
Nadya Suleman’s life with 14 kids looks like a ceaseless hell of chaos"
- That was the headline for an article I just read and here's the opening paragraph.
- "You knew we were headed into Creepy Crazyville when, in the opening moments of “Octomom,” Nadya Suleman was bringing home the first two of her octuplets and she’s told paparazzi are closing in on her car. What does she do after covering the babies with a blanket? She puts on make-up for the photographers she’s “avoiding.” ew.com
- The 30 to 45 seconds of the excerpt I watched was enough to make me feel dirty.
- On that note: shows like that have been called "bad parent porn"
- Women who have the messed up lips like octomoms freak me out. I start staring at only their lips when they speak and they appear to move all funny and seem to have a mind of their own and be all over the place.
- It doesn't help any that I really noticed that the other day when my hearing aids were down and I had to watch her lips.
- Teddy Kennedy is dead. I remember thinking during the 80's when he was swollen, his eyes would be bloodshot and he would be trying to make a comment on something and not be making any sense- "Where are his friends? There must be thousands of people who would like to think of themselves as his friend and people are letting him destroy himself..." etc. I am honestly surprised he didn't drink himself to death.
- When sober though he was one of the best modern political speakers. President Obama has an undeserved reputation for same but, honestly it's his velvety cigarette smokers voice and scripted presentation that got him there. No one could match Teddys enthusiasm, sincerity and ability in off the cuff, extemporaneous speaking. Also, he had a pleasant enough sounding voice when he kept his Hahvahd Yahd patrician accent under wraps.
- People to continue to drag up the Mary Jo Kapeckne/Chappaquiddick issue- always have and always will, I suppose. I've never heard what her family thinks or thought about the issue though. The fact is never mentioned were it not for her death Teddy Kennedy may have been President at one time. Actually, although debatable- in my opinion it is nearly certain he would have been President.

I never paid much attention to Teddy.
Octomom flies under my radar as well. With all the kids I have running around, her show is the very LAST thing I need in my life.

I too have been struck by some of the blog comments regarding Sen. Kennedy and Miss Kopechne.
While certainly I've made my share of jokes over the years about Mr. Kennedy's driving skills (e.g. "I'd rather hunt with D. Cheney than ride with T. Kennedy.", or, "If Ted Kennedy drove an AmphiCar, he'd be President today.") However, I don't feel compelled or qualified to surmise how the Kopechne family feels about the Senator's demise. For all I know, they may have forgiven him decades ago.
I think you're right that absent Chappaquiddick, Ted would've been the Dem nominee in '76 (saving us the embarrassment of one James Earl Carter), or '80. And, I think that had he run, he'd have gotten elected (didn't say I would've voted for him - couldn't in '76, and voted for RWR in '80).
In any event, he led a very interesting life and had a long career in the Senate - the fact that many of us disagreed with him politically shouldn't negate that in a civilized society we can pay our respects to a distinguished American and to the family.
BTW, I have driven an AmphiCar, but it was in a parade in Trophy Club, not in the water.
don- the amphicar was my fave car as a kid! remember the 3 Stooges episode where they drove off into the water in one? it was said of the amphicar during it's run,"The amphicar promises to revolutionize drowning!"
The public should always bring up a crime that went unpunished. I doubt anyone, honestly, needs to hear what the Kopechne family feels about Ted Kennedy leaving Mary Jo, alive, in a car submerged underwater and not calling 911 to aid in her rescue, because all people need to do is think about how they would feel if Mary Jo had been their daughter or sister.
Ted Kennedy was a rich man who followed in the family business of politics pandering to special interest groups at the expense of taxpayers. Kennedy lived a life full of debauchery and drunkenness and encouraged the same in the younger members of the Kennedy clan. You do recall what happened in 1991 with William Kennedy Smith after a night of boozing it up at a bar in Miami with his Uncle Teddy?
mz- did i say something to make you think i agreed with,supported, or even liked Ted Kennedy or did not know about his past?
easy there.
Naw, CK, I think I drew that fire...inadvertently.
To Chupacabra...
I was merely responding to your last bullet point. No doubt Mary Jo Kopechne's family felt about Kennedy the way anyone else would feel about someone not attempting to save their loved one after they had put them in danger. If Kennedy had not been responsible for the death of Mary Jo, based on his nearly life long behaviour, it is safe to assume Kennedy would have done something else to have made himself unelectable as POTUS. From all accounts, Kennedy was a whoring drunkard from an early age and only gave it up when he became too infirmed to engage in whoring and/or drunkenness.
