Any insight into how Jean Fraud is taking the slam by Chris Matthews that Obama, not Kerry, received the Kennedy mantle?

Obama, called the last Kennedy brother, to eulogize Ted at Saturday funeral
MSNBC's Chris Matthews is taking a hammering from the right for suggesting that President Obama is now the last Kennedy brother. He said on NBC's "Today" show, "Ted Kennedy, last year, basically designated him the new brother and I don’t mean that in an ethnic sense or a black sense. I mean a brother of the Kennedy tradition."
Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh quipped that the mainstream news media would have his head if he used the word "brother" when referring to Obama..... |
...Fellow Massachusetians, I'm honored and humbled to say that, as the lyrics of that old refrain bring to mind, "he isn't heavy, he's my...huh, Obama gets the mantle? THRRRREEEEEEEZZZZZZAAAAA....WAAAAAAAAAHHHH....." |

Hmmmm...interesting consideration. While over-the-top ramblings are perhaps to be expected from an emotionally traumatized Matthews (and just as surely his ideological peers), this can't set well with the now senior senator (small "s") from Mass.
Perhaps even more apropos of the leftist/liberal penchant for manufacturing (or burying) history is the dedication of the Weather Underground's "Prarie Fire" to Sirhan Sirhan by Barack Kennedy's other "brother", William Ayers...
(thanks to an LA Times commenter for THAT little morsel).
Delightful. |

There are times when it's really really nice to have the Sci-fi channel to watch.
