"Open Mike day": First Listener Request Fulfilled

This Opinion Column, still awaiting syndication through MSM outlets, operates on a number of inflexible and rigorously enforced standards of journalistic ethics.

Rule number 1473 in the "Onsdorffersphere Code of Conduct" is to never speak ill of the dead. The terminally ill, however, better watch out, as we will not suffer fools gladly here.  In this vein, I definitely suggest that Ted Kennedy try to keep his head above the water line, which in his situation is way to close to the Mendoza Line.

First he names his new dog "Floating Bubbles", then he recuses himself full time from all Senatorial duties for the last five (5) months, while hiding from the Grim Reaper.  All well and good for him, but what about his constituents who elected him to stand tall for their interests in the Congress?

I kid you not, Ted weighed in on this serious issue in a letter to the Governor late last week, saying that upon his departure from his Senate seat, the critically important issues now confronting our Republic were too pressing to wait 5 months for a special election to be held to fill this "soon" to occur vacancy.  

Apparently, no one on the de facto former senator's staff told him of the irony of his wanting a working Senator appointed the minute he leaves Mass. high and dry yet again.
