bet bush would be a hufflepuff in the end
I was thinking the same thing!
I was too!
BTW this LOL is amazing!!
Haha me too…
weird!! me too!
*rofl* That was also my first thought!
ditto ^_^
Guys that’s mean; Helga Hufflepuff would be insulted!
Yeah! He would probably go to Slytherin for ambition.
Yeah. I don’t think he would even get in in the first place; any one of the founders would be insulted. Besides, doesn’t everyone know he’s a muggle?
Hufflepuff is way too cool for Dubbya. He’d be a Gryffindor. Reckless, idiotic and UTTERLY convinced he’s doing right.
Yes. He’s not honest or hardworking enough for Hufflepuff, and too stupid for Ravenclaw or Slytherin (despite having ambition).
… I can’t believe I just typed that. I feel nerdy now.
Crabbe and Goyle were both in Slytherin so I’m not sure intellect is a requirement.
You always need minions.
slytherin didnt care about how smarts you is, they just wanted ambitions and powers..
He would TOTALLY be slytherin.
He’s full of ambition & has the connections they’d love to use.
Actually Slytherin is about cunning as well. So clearly he wouldn’t qualify.
Good point! It seems that cunning is emphasised, but not all of them have it.
Excellent point…
Hufflepuff believes in fair play, hard work, and justice, so I’d think not. He’d be a Slytherin, imo.
Hope the mispelling was intentional.
Still, hilarious lol.
Yes. Hufflepuff for sure.
Wow. He even thinks with misspellings!
As I once said, “Stream of conciousness is a valid way of writing a novel; it is no basis for political speachmaking!”
Surely Dubya would be a squib?
*snort* Good point.
He sure as hell wouldn’t be in Ravenclaw. You have to be keen of wit for that.
Teehee. “Wit”.
And also need to like reading.
True. He would be Slytherin for ambition.
AND Evil!
And Putin woulda been in Durmstrang, so it’s kinda a moot point.
Maybe he’s an exchange student.
But good point.
I don’t get the Hogwarts “tryouts.” Personally, I find that if you’re going to make fun of someone, it’s better to reference pop culture correctly.
they spelled gryffindor incorrectly too. methinks this caption was written by someone who saw the movie… once.
The reference may be technically wrong but it’s still understandable, or else why is neither of you complaining that those aren’t Hogwarts robes?
As for spelling Gryffindor incorrectly, well, it is Dubya’s thought bubble!
i wasn’t even going to get into the “how are asian-themed robes even remotely reminiscent of hogwarts robes” discussion. because i definitely didn’t see the immediate connection. for the purposes of this caption they may as well have been standing there in suits…
Actually, I read all 7 books in a5 days, and saw the movies a few times. This is what’s known as a ‘typo’.
ok, so ‘splain how you “try out” for hogwarts…??
Normally using a 1-3 minute monologue and a prepared piece of a musical number.
hogwarts is art school? man, that changes the whole story…
Magical arts… right?
and sounded out the name of the house…
Putin would go for slytherin
I like how Bush’s feet are in the “cute asian girl” position. Pretty surreal.
Totally! OK, someone needs to find a pic of him in a plaid skirt and knee socks standing pigeon-toed for the full “asian school girl look”.
Just photoshop Brittany Spears early works onto him.
EWWW ewwewwwewwewwewweww
Please to be removing this mental image from my head DX
And mine…..
As in, remove image from my head. Ew.
Brain bleach for sale, only 20 USD (plus shipping and handling) for 6 full ounces! AND I PROMISE NOT TO YELL MY ENTIRE SALES PITCH IF YOU BUY ONE!
Plus, if you buy it now, it comes with this handy-dandy eyeball-scraper at no extra charge!!
It can be yours for only 15 easy payments of 13.97 USD each (S & H is kinda high on this one due to the hazmat requirements).
But wait! Order now and receive an extra bottle free! That’s a 497 USD value! Or not – but still – a whole extra bottle!
Wait, there’s a typo – that’s supposed to be 19.99 USD in the first line, sorry.
*imagines George Bush in Brittney Spears schoolgirl pose*
Bush on Iraq war “Oops, I did it again”
Aaagh!! My brain melted !!
Me buy brain bleach – me think good deal (but me brain is a puddle of goo, so what do I know)
I’m very sorry to hear that your brain meltored down – but according to our records you have not sent in the first payment – could you possibly get that in the mail for us today? Thanks!
No no….he is is his Wing Chun training stance. The man is DEADLY.
Is IN….grrr…I stink.
Having never seen the Potter movies, nor read the books, I have no idea what this caption is about.
There are four houses at the wizard school in movies/books.
Gryffindor: The brave (and has most good guys).
Slytherin: The cunning (and usually bad guys).
Ravenclaw: The wisest.
Hufflepuff: The loyal.
Hope that clears it up, at least a little bit.
LOL, Elfking has been waiting for this moment to arrive …
Yeaaaah, pretty much.
I just love to use my nerdiness to educate people.
Me too sweet pea.
I agree, Bush is a squib, and Putin and Cheney in Slytherin.
Both of them would make Voldemort piss his pants.
yeah.
I just want to say: To all the people calling Bush a “squib”- You’re commenting on a picture on the internet; he was elected President of the most powerful nation on Earth twice. And no, it can no longer be argued that Gore won in 2000.
So you’re taking the position that Bush can, in fact, perform magic?
Well, he WAS elected twice. I call that supernatural.
Buuahahahaha! Brilliant. And funny as heck. I LOLed more from your comment that from the photo.
*washing ravioli off screen* teaches me to eat at the computer
@ lowly grunt: that was rofl worthy
Indeed, this is only explainable with a mass imperius curse.
*hugs Diss* I can’t explain how hard I laughed at this.
…
Just a puppet on a string
Ooh, who would ever want to be king?
…
your right…bush is a witch…
BURN THE WITCH BURN HIM!! ITS WHAT CHEESUS WANTS!!!
‘E turned me into a newt!
[looks dubiously at m00finsan]
“And no, it can no longer be argued that Gore won in 2000.”
Why is that?
I was just wondering what in the world about the discussion of this lol made him post THAT Mark..
There are no tryouts for Hogwarts!
Do outs, or do not outs. There are no tryouts.
Hahahahaha!! Who cares!!?? Get over your Potter-related anal-retentive leanings. Still a funny LOL.
RIP Teddy Kennedy. I have a sad today.
Mary Jo Kopechne finally has justice.
It’s about time.
TOOO SOOOOOONNNNN!!!
Not soon enough.
If someone killed your daughter, you’d want justice, too.
Oh I get it, George and Vlad are reenacting the bridge scene?
Apparently she was an only child and her family has passed away. They never brought a lawsuit againts Kennedy, perhaps they forgave him for his bad judgment that night.
WAY too soon….
CLEARLY.
Now, as soon as Laura Bush dies, we’ll have 100% justice, right?
She wasn’t drunk, and she didn’t abandon him to die.
Nice strawman, though.
*applies flame*
Me too. TT_TT
R.I.P Ted Kennedy 1932-2009. One of the greatest senators of our times. Should have won 1980.
I don’t know that I would go that far.. In fact, has there ever really been a great Senator?
-
For the record, I don’t think I’ll be attending the funeral. I have a prior engagement.
Excellent point, Eds.
I can’t say he was one of my favorite people, so for me he won’t be missed (and I don’t mean that in a snarky way, I just don’t have much of an opinion of Ted.) In fact, I barely blinked when I heard it on the news.
I was never a big fan of his (I always thought he was too partisan and basically had his job due to his name), but while listening to the radio on the way to my oboe lesson this afternoon (what? I play the oboe, get over it) people who knew him – including a journalist not affiliated with any cable network – stated that he had a gift for bringing the people in the Senate together – none other than Orrin Hatch (senator from Utah, who initially campaigned on a ticket of thwarting/controlling/whatever Ted Kennedy) has since spoken of Mr. Kennedy as his best friend in the Senate. The journalist said that he had 99 friends in the Senate. I think he did a lot of good, important things that not everyone outside the belt is aware of.
Having said that, I think his name and his friends and his own position did get him off of a manslaughter (not murder) charge – his judgment was certainly poor, and I believe that I would’ve been sent to prison had I done the same thing. But that’s the nature of fame/influence, and that’s why some people believe they can get away with things (I was surprised the Phil Spector was actually convicted, to be honest). Every time we let someone get away with something because they’re an athlete or a rich person or a politician or a celebrity we’re telling them they’re special and above the law. Bad precedent, I think. Would you raise your kids that way?
I agree with you.. on the other hand, I do feel a bit of sympathy for him because he had to live in the shadow of JFK and RFK. I still believe he was own worst enemy in his personal life.
theatrics….like tossing the word MURDER up every few sentances…thats not theatrics at MURDER all…no no its not cheap MURDER tawdy theatrics at MURDER all
Why am I so tempted to tell Randomness “You keep using that word… but I do not think it means what you think it means.”
guess randomness drank the MURDERaid
redrum! redrum!
Why is all the redrum gone?
I thinkk it was Randomness.. can’t be sure though. It could have been BT.
*burps* Oopsh..
A repetitive bullshit spewing ass that no one likes is ordinarily defined as 1) Randomness 2)Randomness 3)Rand- Oh hell you get the point, no one here cares what you think. Period. You come in here starting a bunch of shit and when no one even wants to debate with the brick wall that you personify because you can’t even talk like rational person.
The girl’s dead. Kennedy’s dead, and farmer brown wants you to know the horse you’re beating is dead.
I would urge everyone to ignore this worthless waste of space that calls itself Randomness. He’s a pointless as a circle and his arguments follow the same pattern.
Don’t belittle yourself by even acknowledging his existence, because in the grand scheme of intelligent thoughts… he doesn’t exist.
they were supposed to get their masonic robes on, but someone switched the wardrobe!
This would have been a lot funnier without the caption at the bottom.
See, this is why they have the option to recaption it. Have fun
Oh em gee, Bush is a secret Vietnamese!!!!
I think the Sorting Hat would touch Bush’s head and say, “GTFO.”
Hard lols. Kudos Captain Wow… Kudos.
bitter troll talked to magic sorting hat, it choose bush guy to go to the broom closet
I just have to say that I am enjoying the discussions about which house these individuals would be in if they were actually sorted much more than I enjoyed the actual picture/caption.
….MURDER
………murder……MUUUUUURDER
murdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdermurdmurdermurdermurdermurderermurdermurdermurdermurder

bitter troll is shocked and appauld you didnt use the word MURDER once in that entire post…shame…the shame
she is slowly dieing of cancer…but i guess you know that. how charming of you to want to bring that up .
Eh bitter, do like I do, just skip Random’s posts and ignore him. You’ll find the atmosphere to be a lot more enjoyable with that failure of a human being out of the way.
since you cant stand the laughing you hear, because you turned youself into a moronic joke, you decided to sink so low? rather her the boos and hisses then the laughter? but we are still laughing at you
Oh i have a job little man, guess you have not been stalking me as much as you think you have.
AH HA!! I knew it! Very personal.
Wow. That was pretty fvcking sick. I hope there’s a cure for whatever has destroyed your brain, asshole.
Jane, damn it, did you leave the kibble out again? If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, “Put it away when you’re done!” Now get busy and sweep this mess up!
No Eddie, I’m the one who’s causing this madness!
You liar! I helped!
I doubt you have any nerve to strike, or else you would not be on a forum posting like your a big man.
Never my dear! I know you’re angry at the world, but I still love you!
Testicle and I will always be here for you! No matter what! No matter how much hot wax you pour on me, or how much you beat me! I WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE LOVE YOU SO DESPERATELY CRAVE!!!
Penis can say what he likes, but I still havent forgiven you for killing my brother 40 years ago. I told you that horse would kick! But you didn’t listen you just had to have sex with it because little sis didn’t want to that night. And now *sniffles* Lefty’s gone! GONE! GONE FOREVER!! MURDERER!
For example, those who continue to troll on a board because they think they are funny or better than others (or inferior, which is more likely the case), have not learned from past trolls that they are in fact completely worthless people who just need to STFU.
It’s not that I agree or disagree, it’s the way in which you choose to voice your opinion. Personally, I have always felt that Ted should have been held accountable, but that was out of my control, so c’est La Vie.
I agree Eddie, Ted did some things that were abhorrent, but he also did some things that were very admirable. I’m not absolving him, but at least he wasn’t a complete waste.
He could not get his point across, a valid if not to late one, so he took it personal and acted like vile ilk. More then likely he is alone at his desk, his hard on in one hand and a john wayne movie playing in the background.
No random…i am not angry…digusted yes…but not angry.
frankly little man, your goal today was to piss off the forums. You worked very hard and had to go very very low to do it.
In the end, all you got was pitty.
I forgive you for your personal stabs. Now please grow up.
Pitty? Pay closer attention, went i talked about the plant closeing..i spoke of how it SHOULD of closed..As for my mother, i was asked, thus i answered.
I was not distorting facts.
still pokeing? must want a reaction that badly huh?
You no longer amuse me.
is this really the attention you want out of people?
Bitter, I’m willing to work with you here. Respond to me, ignore him. He’s just feeding off of this attention, the sooner he learns we don’t care what he has to say, the sooner he’ll fade back into the obscurity that is his existence.
True enough, but clearly this fellow has been around a while, recalling facts like that from awhile ago. Pretty sure whom ever it is, just useing another name tonight.
Be that as it may, I’m with Max here. Let us retire to the fortress and have a G-rated family evening of tea and trumpets.
Trumpets to hard to chew!
Well fine then Mr. Picky Pants. We’ll have crumpets.
Uhm, you mean crumpets, right?
-slowly grinds his bitter teeth against a trumpet- bitter troll can hear new orleans crying…
Crumpets make such a loud racket when you blow them though.
well then you should blow…-insert joke here-
and there was much rejoiceing..yay
You know what they call a fart down this way? a bum trumpet!
Bum-pet!
Richard Gerbil.
OMG! Its all become clear to me!
Ramdomness is actually Aimee in disguise!
I apologize if I contributed to a big-ol’ flame thread in re Mr. Ted – I wasn’t trying to excuse his actions; I gave my opinion of the situation and the man, but I don’t know nearly enough about it to offer an educated opinion. I was repeating what I’d heard on the radio and giving my personal feeling that we (that’s all of us) sometimes let people get away with things until they cross that final boundary. They don’t all get away with it, but we don’t rein them in before they get there, is my point.
There’s a fable (and I could be completely messing this up) where a boy does worse and worse things while he grows (stealing, hurting people etc.) and his mother always turns a blind eye and/or supports him until he (as a man) kills someone and is sentenced to hang. His final request is that he get to kiss his mother goodbye. When she gets to the gallows he bites her instead – and when she asks why, he says “If only you’d stopped me back when I was younger, I wouldn’t be here now.” I have probably completely botched this, but I hope I’ve conveyed the feel of it.
On the one hand, it could be that he was just a sociopathic SOB, but on the other hand, as a parent, I don’t want my kids to believe that they can get away with anything just because they’re special in some way, whether it’s athletics or acting or music or whatever. As long as they know I love them, and that they’re responsible for their own actions and the consequences thereof.
I know, maudlin much? Sorry.
Bah! There’s nothing wrong with expressing an opinion. I don’t think you have anything to apologize for..
MUUUUURRRDEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
REDRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM! REDRUUUUUUUUUM!
nope, we all agree and disagree here. this is a place to both express your ideals and try to make a laugh. I spend 8 hours a day on here while at work, chatting and trying to make people smirk, if they agree or disagree with me.
Explains why you’re illiterate. Work is supposed to be, you know, WORKING.
Eh, work is for those to whom things don’t come easily.
Do you get paid to post on a lol site all day in baby talk?
Yes, yes I do. Well, I invite you to find where I’ve posted a lot of “baby talk” and confront me with it. I often find that visiting the LOL pages is a good diversion while I’m working something through in my head, particularly during design phases (essentially waiting for the pieces to fall into place). And I frequently find myself working at odd hours because the pieces just did, in fact, fall into place. For example, I got up before 5:00am this morning and was at work by 5:10am (took a shower) because a concept had come through for me and I couldn’t sleep any more (even though I was still tired).
I wasn’t talking about you
But you replied to him.. looks like a sequence failure to me.
No, I asked him a question. It wasn’t an accusation. I think it’s an abysmal statement on the American work ethic to make such a statement in a public forum. As should anyone who employs such an employee. It’s theft, and if said employee’s IP is audited, the employer could prosecute appropriately.
Go back and reread, ok? I didn’t say you were accusing anyone. You’re making huge leaps in assuming what his company’s policy is. Some companies don’t mind what you do, as long as you are performing your job to their satisfaction. For example, the place I work approves people to be on Facebook, as long as it doesn’t impact the employees productivity.
I have to have a Facebook profile. It’s a requirement of my job.
Posting on-line in a shift position? Not so great. I just read an article about this at CNN.com. Many companies have people in HR who do nothing but search out your on-line postings, trace the postings of your IP address, and then reprimand/fire you as a result of the things you post, even anonymously. Because you leave a track wherever you go.
Sorry that makes you unhappy. It is what it is.
I’ll pay for his welfare. That’s why.
You could always just kill yourself. That would tie everything up in a nice little package and you wouldn’t have to whine so much.
bla, stop bothering yourself with that sad little man. talk to ME!
That’s a sin. It’s also illegal.
How was your drive home, dear? Bitter, I hope.
it was ok. just a drive…GAH im breaking character , i should be acting like a troll
I don’t steal from my employer. I bust people who do.
Cute conspiracy, though.
You should try breaking bad. It’s much more fun.
You really need to quit assuming. I suspect if his employer cared, don’t you think they would have been on to him by now? I mean, most companies would have had a 1-on-1 by now if he was violating the policy.
So how long have you been posting from your current work-supplied IP address, there, BT? Just curious.
Man, I can so relate to that. There was a time when I was an engineer I would get flashes of inspiration at the weirdest times! Drove my ex-wife nuts.. or maybe she was already nuts and I just pushed her a little further over the edge.
You know… insanity is just like gravity… sometimes… all it takes is a little push!
I love the Joker! He makes me tingly.
And then everyone already knows.. gravity sucks. So maybe I didn’t really push, she just got sucked in. Either way, I can only hope!
I think Moron Baby Joke-ass was talking to bitter. Why he replied to you, I don’t know. Ignore the trolls trying to get a rise, it works better.
Why am I a moron? Because I am appalled by someone’s public admission that they would steal from their employer by spending 8 hours a day posting on line?
If it was your employee, you’d be appalled, as well.
You’re a moron because only a moron calls themselves “Dead Baby Jokes”. As for his employer, see Ed’s response. Some companies have lax rules regarding internet usage. Jumping to conclusions is also the hallmark of a moron.
And a genius chooses a moniker that means what yours means? Seriously?
See above.
The word “Charro” has many different meanings. It is also a shortened version of the name I was given by my parents at birth and thus was a nickname bestowed upon me, for reasons that have nothing to do with any of the multiple definitions of the word “Charro”. I can only imagine what your parents named you that “Dead Baby Jokes” seems like a much better handle.
And read your own words, moron. “Many companies”, not “All companies”. Stop talking about things you know nothing about it makes you look stupid in addition to be a crass douchebag.
charro charro sweet charro….stop talking to the help.
Also makes me wonder why he has to have a Facebook account.
-
Oh man, he’s one of those Facebook haxors!!!11!!elebenty!
RUN!
Turn off your computers! The interwebz nazi’s have us pegged!
But bitter dear, I need somewhere to put my douche when I’m done with it.. This douchebag does nicely.
he is way to soggy…i think rosie o’donald was useing him before
Where did I say all? Hmmm? Read your own words.
Yer stoopid!
I think Dead Wiener Joke is the same sock as Randomness. Notice how one vanished and the other appeared? Cheesus.
Um, you didn’t. That was my point moron. Learn how to read.
oh that much was clear a while ago sweetie..see he is wanting a reaction since that ugly title upset eric yesterday so
I love your conspiracy theories. They’re FUN!
Yer stoopider
Well, hopefully he just kills himself and all will be well.
we wont be so lucky hun…but i do hope he gets @ss herpes
Ran out of insults so that’s your best shot?
Yer stoopider kill yerself MOR BETTERER!
Well, at least I still have my Oreo cookies and my teddy bear.
awww-snuggles with charro- im better then a teddy bear
I know right! You also have Ben and Jerry in your lonely bed. Sorry about that.
*huggle snuggles* You are better than a teddy bear, for sure.
Cause internetz relationships are teh best lonely sad woman relationships of ALL! Technological jailbird marriages!
ROFLMAO!
he thinks we are really a internet relationship?
I guess. More assumptions.
He clearly needs attention though. Gotta feel sorry for a sad sack like that.
Assumptions? How? You two are way cheaper and more amusing with an even better plot than any Skinamax movie could EVER be!
Pron on!
-pulls charro into his lap while he makes some LOL- hey eric friended me
I NEED attention? Is that more funnies?
“I’m so hot and panty and sweaty and touch me there and…”
Total
*wriggles in lap* Hey, I friended you too.
whatta know!
I think if you will look at the time stamp, you will see it is now evening not day.
…and if you look below, you’ll see that “the troll” just left work.
Again, if you will look at the time you will it is night, not day. He even said it was night where he is.
Cry about it. Please. Your tears satiate semantic Nazis the world-round.
Thank you all – I’ll go back to being just another goofball (I’m really better suited to that anyhow).
Oh, and Brane Bleach(tm) is now available for the low low price of only 19.95 USD per six-ounce bottle (just so you know).
…I should probably mention that shipping and handling has gone up a little bit though…
Oh, goofball! I read that as golfball and wondered why you would want to be smacked around with a club.. but then, to each their own..
*blushes* Eddie, stop talking about me!
ok off for the night, will poke my head back in once i get back tot he apartment
“I have no life and therefore I now live vicariously through this site.”
“Oh pot! Kettle is calling for you!”
“Why hello, darkest cast iron frypan of all!”
Bitter, we’ve changed things… forever, and there aint no goin back.
You see to these trolls, we’re just freaks.
We say they’ve crossed the line, but we crossed the line first though. We hammered them, and in their desperation, they’ve turned to socks they don’t fully understand. Some socks can’t be reasoned with. They can’t be bought, bullied or intimidated, some trolls… just want to watch the forums burns.
So how do we catch these trolls? We burn the forest down!
Oh and in the words of Mr Green, from “Clue”: I’m going home to sleep with my wife!
A plant? I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.
bitter troll loves that movie. heard they are making a remake
Ooh! I love that movie too! I’m not so keen on the idea of a remake though. Who can replace Tim Curry?
hopefully it wont be the same movie, different characters and jokes , just the same names. and different endings to boot
I hope so.
We used to play “Clue” when I was a wee lass and I was always Miss Scarlet. She was HOT.
Can’t come up with words of your own?
-tries his battroll voice- whErerere EEiish DeeRAWR JOraawrker?
…well, ok, but will you buy some Brane Bleach(tm) first?
So, my attempt to apologize for the flame-thread resulted in another flame-thread? How feeble is that? I refuse to bait the troll (not you, bt, the other one). All I tried to say was that I find it conducive sometimes to distract myself from an internal brain-thingie in order to provide the best solution per the requirements I’ve been given – I have to think about things like consistency, how the tools work, future enhancements and maintainability, database design…it’s not a simple thing like “move this pile of sand over there with this shovel” and sometimes I need things to…ripen in my head in a sort of background mode – these forums provide me that distraction on occasion. It is sad when people just don’t understand that (and yet many of them gain leadership positions). Having said that, please note that I’ve put in around 10 hours at work today, much of it on the phone helping someone else, and maybe 30 minutes (during work hours) here.
Which is as is should be. You don’t need to justify your time on this forum. Someone who announces they spend 8 hours a day here on their employer’s dime, and it is proven out through the time stamp on thei IP address posts, probably will eventually be compelled to do so. No sense crying over spilt milk.
Warnings sometimes fall on deaf ears.
Hah. Missed an r. Must be pirate day.
How the heck did the comment section of a Bush and Putin Hogwarts related LOL turn into two arguments, one about Ted Kennedy and the other just some random trolling?
Cripes it’s depressing.
It was because it took too long until we got a new lol post on PK. Had we had another one quickly enough, the random trolling would have been more focused there.
I’m still trying to figure out how the PK dynamics work, but I think it’s something like that.
This page is just stuffed full of trolling. *sigh* Arguments are fine and all but trolling is just saddening.
Seriously, this whole thing reads like the comments section of a youtube video… please tell me PK isn’t descending into that level of madness and hatred…
I feel your pain…
Pfft. Just wait, I have a feeling a Ted Kennedy lol will be coming up on the front page soon. Hopefully this comment explosion will keep that one from going full nuclear. I think I’ll go for a walk…
“Hopefully this comment explosion will keep that one from going full nuclear.”
Yeah, but I’m not going to hold me breath.
HOW DARE YOU BESMIRCH THE GOOD HOUSE AND NOBLE HOUSE OF GRYFFINDOR WITH THAT MISSPELLING AND THAT EVIL LITTLE MAN.
HOW DARE YOU BESMIRCH THE CAPS LOCK KEY WITH YOUR FANGIRL FROTHING AND SALIVATING.
besides, bushman would of pronounced it wrong anyways
WHAT IS THIS CAPS LOCK KEY OF WHICH YOU…oh, there it is, never mind.
i don´t think any of the houses would fit him. gryffindor is too noble. ravenclaw and slytherin are too smart, and hufflepuff is too friendly.
Don’t you have to be brave for Gryffindor?
Actually, if you compare academic history for the last few presidents and candidates, Bush 43 would have been the closest to Ravenclaw. Mr. Obama might give him a run for his money, but all his records are sealed, so we don’t know.
OMG HE’S WEARING A DRESS!111
I think if Snape found out Dubya was in his class, he’d probably bite his tongue and try to drown in the blood rather than deal with it.
“…do what now…?”
Inaccuracy.

I had a friend who was killed by a drunk driver three years ago (more of a friend of a friend but I knew him fairly well, he was my close friend’s roommate). The driver was 19 years old and fled the scene but was caught the same night, and was incarcerated, and is serving a very long sentence. The victim’s parents didn’t feel vindicated by the arrest and sentencing of the driver, because it didn’t get them their son back. Essentially two lives were lost that night.
When an unintentional death occurs, it’s hard to define what justice is. An eye for an eye is not always justice, and forgiviness doesn’t mean you don’t care about your loved ones.
Maybe you should have prosecuted Kennedy since you have inside knowledge of what happened that night. I think it’s safe to assume that Kopechne’s parents cared more about her than you do, and yet they chose not to file suit against Kennedy. Maybe you should have prosecuted them for not agreeing with your definition of justice.
“To be insulted by you is to be garlanded with lilies” – Aristophanes
Clearly someone here does not understand the term murder =/
Automobile accidents are typically, and especially in cases of drunken driving, considered manslaughter not murder.
There is a real and significant difference, especially if you’re talking about dispensing justice.
Also it wasn’t his last name that won him acclaimation. He was the lion of the senate for a reason.
Consequently, do you also think Laura Bush is a murderer?
May you be judged by your own standards. Upon your death, may you only be remembered for all the unkindnesses you displayed, for all the the mistakes you made, and for all the lack of compassion you showed; and may everyone be quick to point out your flaws, preferably before your body is even cold.
“The evil men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones.” — William Shakespeare
It was an accident, not a murder. What happened was that he left the scene of said accidence without filing a report.
Don’t try to defend his actions. Anyone who tries fails. What he did was sub-human, and you know it. If he couldn’t save her, leaving her to die without calling anyone else to assist is simply abominable.
in re_ your quote…and as per the norm, using someone the words of another because you can’t come up with your own…
Are you kidding? He crashed his car, climbed out and left her in it, and waited until he sobered up to even CALL the cops.
Moron.
Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. But do we consider that important? No, we consider the fact that he rebuilt a nation.
Similarly, Senator Ted Kennedy left the scene of an accidence without filing a report. He did get jailed for that. But look at his legacy, look at the great things he fought for. Without him the Senate has descended to a lower, more partisan level.
Nice moral relativism.
“Kill whoever you want when you’re young, as long as you have the right last name… just make sure you do enough great things after to balance it out…”
There aren’t enough great things to balance out stealing someone’s life. Ever.
He crashed his car OFF of a BRIDGE, and into the water. He had to make an under-water exit of his car. He did not dive back underwater to try and free to poor young woman. I would qualify that as manslaughter. As for the investigation, someone arranged for all of his co-party-ers to be off island before the police had a chance to investigate. Which would be obstruction of justice, but probably by Kennedy’s father.
Was Ted Kennedy a saint? No. I would say he was a slut and a drunkard for most of his life, and also guilty of manslaughter.
But he was an excellent senator in spite of it.
And an average person would have never had that opportunity, having been incarcerated for the crime he actually committed.
See what I did there?
“On July 18, 1969, at approximately 11:15 p.m. in Chappaquiddick, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown. I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street. After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge. The car went off the side of the bridge. There was one passenger with me, one Miss Mary [Kopechne],[17] a former secretary of my brother Sen. Robert Kennedy. The car turned over and sank into the water and landed with the roof resting on the bottom. I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock. I recall walking back to where my friends were eating. There was a car parked in front of the cottage and I climbed into the backseat. I then asked for someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period and then going back to my hotel room. When I fully realized what had happened this morning, I immediately contacted the police.”
That is what happened. He tried to save her. Then, when he was sober, he remembered, and contacted the police.
Where have I tried to defend his actions?
“As per the norm”? I had no idea you’ve been paying such close attention to my posts, I must admit I hadn’t noticed any of yours prior to today.
About the moral relativism….He did not steal her life.
Again with the personal attacks! If my ego was a bit softer, you would have bruised it.
Or, better yet, it (the ego) would have gotten into an accident, and you, being drunk, after multiple attempts to save it, fail, and then, when your mind clears, you report it, and then get blamed for its murder!
I think the reason you guys are giving these personal attacks is because you don’t have anything that we haven’t refuted.
Who is this “we” of whom you speak? I for one think that you calling names negates any good point you may have had. Clean it up, fuzzball, and you’ll have some support in your arguments.
you would if you dug up her back yard in texas
Also he could be tried for wrongful death, neglect, battery etc.
But not murder, the facts simply don’t fit.
Ok, done ranting about legal definitions.
To quote Lloyd Benson from his 1984 VP debate with Dan Quale, “I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack was a good friend of mine. And Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” There have been Senator’s far more worthy of that title than Ted Kennedy (and as I stated elsewhere, I don’t know of any good Senators.
-
To say that Kennedy didn’t win acclaim because of his name is total BS. That is the ONLY reason he was able to stay in the Senate for so long. Otherwise he would have been voted out.
Unless she killed those people in her own home, under the assumption that they were harmful intruders.
Then the Castle law takes effect and she gets off scot-free
well we will have to call CSI : Texas to find out-nods-
Also, as an add on, if the family didn’t prosecute then they didn’t think that the treatment of Kennedy, post-accident, was unjust.
The position of the family of the victim, in this case, is what determines whether the handling of the case is just or injust.
If they thought it was unjust they would have sued.
There wasn’t any family. Can you not read?
We’ll start reading your comments when you start being simple.
Bah.. simply civil… it’s been too long a day for me to jump into a “Ted Kennedy BAAAAAAD” argument.
You’ve got that one covered well, obviously.
Ted Kennedy MUUURRRDERERRR!
Besides, I wasn’t the one who made the comment about her not mattering because she had no family.
Again I ask: can’t you read?
well to bad you waited till after he was dead to say anything..
since clearly you had inside information the police where not privy too
Actually, no one made a comment about her not mattering because she has no family.
It’s been what, 40 years? How is arguing about it now going to change anything? On top of that, is the law in Mass. the same now as it was then? Could that be a factor in whether or not charges were pressed?
I’ve said it all along.
He bought his way out of a murder prosecution using political clout. End of story.
Which is clearly a NEOCON!!!11ELITISTNAZI!!111 move. Sooooo…
But if you have no proof of that, you cant’ just swing it around like a dead cat. There is no proof one way or the other, just speculation and rumor. Besides, it’s been 40 years. I think that the statute of limitations is way past on this.
There is no statute of limitations on murder. Anywhere.
Earlier that morning, two amateur fishermen had seen the overturned car in the water and notified the inhabitants of the cottage nearest to the pond, who called the authorities at around 8:20 am.[14] A diver was sent down and discovered Kopechne’s body at around 8:45 am.[15] The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne’s body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded that
“ Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim’s side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car.[8] ”
Farrar believed that Kopechne “lived for at least two hours down there.”
I dont’ believe manslaughter is murder, darling.
That’s where you’re wrong, dear.
The court system disagrees Randomness. Manslaughter is different than murder. Had Kennedy bound her up with no hope of escape it would have been murder. Kennedy swam for the surface, and made it out. That was manslaughter, and despite what your own bitter definitions tell you, the legal system disagrees. Feel free to head to the supreme court to get the stipulations changed for manslaughter if you’d like.
That’s wierd… If as Randomness says, she was alive for up to 2 hours down there and Ted and already managed to exit the car that would mean two things 1) there was a way out the vehicle i.e no blocked doors or anything and 2) if she was pressed up against the roof because she had moved there, then she could move.
My question is… why didn’t she get out on her own?
I still think Ted was a kunt for not reporting it till the next day and leaving her behind, but that story doesn’t add up.
and by neglect I meant negligence…
Here, moron, let me help you with that legal definition thing.
Yeah, it was the WALKING AWAY that made it murder. You know, murder? The unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse. You know, where there’s a drunken accident YOU caused and then you walked away and LEFT the other person to die?
Yeah. That’s murder, dipstick. Look that up.
tonight, when bitter troll master-bates…he will think of dear old departed uncle ted
Eeerr…maybe…sure he was a drunken booze loven drunky drunk drunk…but if he did a real bad job , the people he represented would of sooner or later voted him out, in favor of someone who would represent thier interests better. it might of worked for a few terms..but not decades.
now he did get acclaim cause of the name, lets not be livein in a fatasy world…but it only opened doors we will never have. didnt open all of them…
cant fault him for that, others have had the same privlage, say our last president. i doubt he would of ever of owned a baseball team or became president man if he was a normal guy like you.
cant fault bush for that either…if i had it offered to me, i would take it….BUT ME JUST A TROLL OOGA BOOGA
Ted Kennedy quietly helped many Massachusetts residents over the decades. Also, he supported many causes important to those residents. This is why I voted for him. There may be Mass residents who voted for the name, but that is not the case for most of the people I speak with…
It’s what he would have wanted, I’m sure.
If it’s not what he wanted… then its at least what he NEEDED eh?
*cough* sock *cough*
It’s ok SB… So far Randomness “words of his own” involve swear words… And clearly “justice” is what Randomness likes in his scotch.
Can’t. Ted Kennedy drank it all before I could get any.
i like scotch
scotchy scotch scotch
here it goes
down into my tummy
well now randomness you can ferment his corpse and drink it!
someone has a potty mouth
zombie reagan would not appove
SO fu(king what?
Like I give a shit what that dooshbag has to say.
Ted Kennedy = murderer is not lib or con. It just is.
And here you said you hadn’t had any scotch…
Except wher you forgot the part which includes “malice aforethought”
He didn’t intend to kill her–even if he walked away which he alleges he didn’t, a court could reasonably find he was disoriented enough not to know that by leaving she would die, which even then *still* wouldn’t qualify for murder–, he certainly didn’t intend to get into a wreck and injure some one.
Therefore no malice aforethougt, therefore no murder.
Learn your legal definitions.
The inquest into Kopechne’s death took place in Edgartown in January 1970. At the request of Kennedy’s lawyers, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordered that it be conducted in secret.[29][30] The 763-page transcript of the inquest was released four months later.[30] Judge James A. Boyle presided at the inquest. Among Judge Boyle’s conclusions in his inquest report were the following:[31]
the accident occurred “between 11:30 p.m. on July 18 and 1:00 a.m. on July 19″.
“Kopechne and Kennedy did not intend to drive to the ferry slip and his turn onto Dike Road had been intentional”.
“A speed of twenty miles per hour as Kennedy testified to operating the car as large as his Oldsmobile would be at least negligent and possibly reckless.”
“For some reason not apparent from [Kennedy]‘s testimony, he failed to exercise due care as he approached the bridge.”
“There is probable cause to believe that Edward M. Kennedy operated his motor vehicle negligently … and that such operation appears to have contributed to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.”
Under Massachusetts law Boyle, having found “probable cause” that Kennedy had committed a crime, could have issued a warrant for his arrest, but he did not do so.[32] District Attorney Dinis chose not to pursue Kennedy for manslaughter, despite Judge Boyle’s conclusions.
The Kopechne family did not bring any legal action against Senator Kennedy, but they did receive a payment of $90,904 from the Senator personally and $50,000 from his insurance company.[33] The Kopechnes later explained their decision to not take legal action by saying that “We figured that people would think we were looking for blood money
He tried to save her. ” I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock.”
It was an accident. I think you’re doing this just to hurt his moral reputation by “spreading the word” of Chippaquidick, so that others would hate him. By doing so, you’re hoping that others will join your cause. Well guess what? Swearing and calling others who don’t agree with you “retards” and ‘morons” will not attract people to your cause. And, once again, this wasn’t murder. We are not trying to defend murder. Now that Senator Ted Kennedy is dead, we mourn the loss, as he has done good things. His is still a human life.
Maybe because hit and run is different than hit, fall off a bridge and try to escape from a quickly sinking car. Besides Kennedy did testify that he tried to swim back down to save the other girl. Secondly no hit and run case that is deemed an honest accident–much like this case–is ever charged with murder.
Certainly hit and runs can qualify but there *must* be malice aforethought. As in the guy hit the other guy ON PURPOSE and then ran.
We have to take that testimony as fact because it’s the only testimony we have
Randomness let me break this down in words you’ll understand..
You fu(king retard! Cant you see we’ve already been over all this bullsh*t? You’ve yet to present one fu(king piece of evidence other than manslaughter and unless you grew up and a farm and fu(king retarded, you can see you’re just making yourself look like a fu(king retard!
There… I hope I put enough “f*cks” and “retards” in there for you to use context clues to understand the other hard words in the sentence. I know it’ll be tough… but dig deep into the elementary school education and you’ll be able to understand that you’re wrong, and just making yourself look like some kind of vengeful codpiece…. a size “extra fu(king retardedly small” codpiece at that.
Considering he didn’t run away before attempting several times to save her, I think not.
Secondly considering he *didn’t* intend to kill her and didn’t intend to get into an accident, still no malice aforethought.
As many insipid insults as you can come up with, I fail to see how–under the legal definition–Kennedy had any malice aforethought in relation to the victim in the accident.
Randomness, let me guess your real name: “Light Yagami”
–
What? You are very similar to that fictional mass-murderer. The only difference is in intelligence
Thank you, ESM.
You’re a flaw. One big, fat, festering, fvcking flaw. Fin.
Awww, but froo… I like watching little children embarrass themselves when speaking on things they know nothing about…
Key emphasis on the embarrASS.
You’re using murder as a catch-all, you cant’ back-pedal and say you meant something different when you clearly didn’t.
In the case of drunk driving, most of the charges filed (and I’ll defer to Diss on this one) are manslaughter, not second degree murder.
Wait a second, did I just hear the plural of “Data”???????? SaWEET!
If your cousin had no malice aforethought, then he didn’t deserve that. That would be manslaughter, not murder.
Gee, from your posts and the levels of intellect and maturity they exude, I figured you were half that age at the oldest.
And the ad hominim starts, because clearly you have no argument to make. You’re so cute when you veer off the tracks.
Well, considering that I’ve never used profanity with you, and never called you a name, I’d say you started it. But you’re still veering way off the tracks of your original argument, which means that you have nowhere else to go with it. So you have no choice but to change the argument and level personal attacks against people who are disagreeing with your particular statement.
Cute.
lookie me mommy, i can say anything i want online cause there is no one to wash my mouth out with soap!
and its so brave of you to come into a faceless internet site to call a man a murderer after he is dead.
….you must be….MACHO
Aw, made of jealous, are ya little dooshy?
Your hand doesn’t count as a partner, jack off. But, I can see why you think it does, I’m sure it plays hard to get with you all the time.. Seeing as how you confuse contemptuous sneers with an offer for sex. I wouldn’t even have fake sex with you, I don’t need my computer catching your dooshiness.
Oh, you’re so cute you think you hit a nerve! How adorable. Keep sticking that thumb up your ass sparky, that’s the only shot you have of hitting a nerve.
Awwww… Do you feel all better about yourself because you insulted people on the internet? No wonder your hand doesn’t want you anymore, you’re not man enough for it. Well, to you sir I bid you adieu. The only thing people like you deserve is to be pointed at and laughed at. *points and laughs*
I love how the guy who’s responding to every single person’s posts with froth and foam is accusing everyone else of having a nerve hit.
Ow, Max, that was my nerve!
he really only felt up my nerve…it tingled…like the tingler
Shhhhhh, dont’ try to un-delusion him. He’s very happy in the world in which he lives. All the crazies know him there, and have elected him their king.
Ah. I was under the impression that you thought that he didn’t deserve it when I decided to post that. Though I really believe that neither deserved that. And please, cool it with your ad hominem. It’s only making people turn against you. Wait, no, actually that’s the base for your entire argument…
does that mean george bush is going to hell?
he’s rich
what about JFK? he didnt kill anyone with water, but he was rich..and he LOOOoooved the ladies
But we can’t go back and dwell. It’s not helping anyone. Kennedy has done some good things with his career in the Senate, so perhaps we can look at that as him trying to pay pennance.
As far as what she would have done, the way I look at it is that she had her life taken away from her early, but who are we to say that God didn’t have that in his plan? I dont’ even want to speculate on what would have been accomplished by someone had they lived. It’s just too sad and tragic.
-laughs so hard he almost pees-
Oh. I thought this was mary jo’s ghost or a distant relative or something. The issue sure is personal.
Oh yeah, BareAss? Prove it.
Can you define murder for me? I’d love to see your definition of murder. Besides saying “murder: wut ted kenedey duz. dur hur”
Or vehicular homicide.
