Did I say that? I'm not a fan of his current politics either, but you're just being flat out disrespectful. His body is still warm and you're ripping him a new one -bringing up Chappaquiddick, calling him a drunk and an old bastard? Come on.

If you hated him so much, why not quietly be happy he's gone? Sure blogs are about posting how you feel, but how about a little couthe?
