Well folks, as I'm sure you're aware, there is a procedure for replacing Senators when they die or otherwise become incapacitated. In most states the Governor appoints a replacement to serve until the next election.
This was the case in Massachusetts until 2004. In 2004, there was a Republican governor (Mitt Romney) and Ted Kennedy didn't want him to be able to appoint a replacement for Senator John Kerry should Kerry be elected President. So, Ted Kennedy, being the fair and honest politician he is, pushed a law that mandated a special election to replace a Senator. That law passed and is now in effect.
Fast forward to 2009. Kennedy is about to kick the bucket (and it can't be fast enough for me) and we'll finally be rid of this low down, brain dead, (pardon the pun) communist jackass. So what does Kennedy think? He thinks that law he pushed back in 2004 is suddenly no good ... and he is pushing to change it back so that the Governor (now a Democrat) appoints his replacement.
You see, these laws aren't about the good of the people ... they're about giving Dipshitocrats a dishonest advantage for retaining power. To me, a lawmaker, in a position of public trust, who conducts themselves in this way should be in jail. Of course, nobody is shocked that Ted Kennedy wouldn't hesitate to stoop to any level required in order for his party to maintain power.
Oh, and what does his nephew, Patrick, have to say about this? Well, it's not a mental leap to surmise he might also be a piece of shit with selective amnesia. Here's his honest and forthright statement.
You're right about one thing, Patrick ... I'm thinking about him ... I sure hope he doesn't have a slow and painful death ... capisce?

It's typical of Ted Kennedy to be thinking ahead, and about the people of Massachusetts, when the rest of us are thinking about him," said Patrick, who just last fall noted more than 40 other states fill congressional vacancies by gubernatorial appointment. More here:
