It's kind of sad how much the DNC has being using Teddy so quickly after his death.

Kind of reminds me of Weekend at Burnie's..only this is weekend at Teddy's. They propped up his still warm body like they would a visual aid to help them pass the healthcare bill. Really its pretty damn sick, they could at least let the family mourn him and bury him first.

This is pretty much politics at its worst - that they can't find something else to do for a week to give the family a chance to grieve without exploiting his death is really just pathetic. This is a politician thing in general of course, I have no doubt the Republicans would do the same damn thing if the situation was reversed.

Just goes to show how disconnected from reality politicians have become. I really hope there is a backlash for this..but the media seems to be going along with it so I doubt it.

You'd really have to be a complete ideologue not to see something wrong with this. Is one week really that long to wait? Apparently it was, because they didn't even wait 7 hours, much less 7 days.

I would think that would be the best way to honor him, to use his death to fast-track that health care bill. It was the cause of his life, after all, and i doubt he'd want anything more in death than to see that passed.
