I'll concede the wrestlers to the Republicans. Big Show is a big Republican, and Ric Flair was a Huckabee supporter.

That's alright - you guys get Barbara Streisand and Oprah.

Both of whom I would love to see in a WWWF match.

Oh yeah, I forgot Ted. BIG, BIG Democratic star ... even more dramatic at his first post-diagnosis major appearance.


And while I don't exactly rejoice, scaeagles, at the demise of certain Republicans, when I think on the likes of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond, I can't help but be glad their time has passed.

That's because, allowing for certain shades of gray, I think they were actually evil. Is that how you see Ted Kennedy?

No - I see a big oaf who murdered a woman. Evil? No. Guilty of negligent homicide? Yes.

I only brought him up, though, as a big name Dem who will probably be passing soon, and was simply trying to give a tasteless example because I thought your statement was tasteless.

Perhaps Robert Byrd might fit in more with your evil considering his past with the KKK and all, but I'm not really trying to think of dems that I would categorize that way.

If I'm not mistaken, negligent homicide isn't the same thing as murder. Laura Bush ran a stop sign when she was younger and killed a pedestrian. I don't think anyone would say that she murdered someone though. And in both cases, it was clearly an accident. Of course, Kennedy exercised extremely poor judgment in not immediately reporting it, but that doesn't make him a murderer.
