Chance of Obama Visit Highlights Bond With Kennedy
"With Kennedy now at his vacation home in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod and Obama setting off on his weeklong stay on nearby Martha's Vineyard, there's speculation the president may come see the ailing senator." AP
Dear Ted,
Charge up your motorized wheelchair make tracks for Route 6 pronto. Barry's coming and YOU KNOW what his plans are for sick old people. He's looking for personal examples about the folly of performing medical procedures on people who are going to die anyway.
First he pounded everybody over the head with that story of his grandmother's broken hip but we've all heard that one by now. He needs a new story "even a man of power and influence ... all his wealth couldn't save him ... experimental treatment after a terminal diagnosis ..." Yada yada. It'll play in the heartland.
You're in for it, Ted, unless you skedaddle out of town before he gets there. Ah well, might be no use anyway. He's like a one-an death panel with his own air plane. Be sure to say hello to Madelyn for us. And that other girl - what was her name?
Best regards, Suzette
UPDATE:
This thing you're doing to Obama? It is so righteous and Right! Please keep doing it.

It's true - Ted becomes The Prophet (with a Blessed Name) and the First Martyr in BO's Jihad for Socialized Medicyn. Hyannis Port will become the destination for millions of the stricken who make their final Hajj to expire nearest the Holy Site.

I can sort of see Obama wheeling Ted along a bridge, you know, for a photo op . . .

Obama might give the visit a personal touch and pull the plug himself...

Schmed,
Having just returned from a trip to Boston that included the JFK Library, Museum and Most Righteous Hall of Glory, I can tell you that the shrine is already there and waiting for Teddy to move in.

You are the funniest woman on the planet! Thank you for your humor - and your wisdom.
(Laughing so much that my husband thinks I've lost it....)

Suzette,
Reading this post and all the clever comments posted has simply made my day and put a big old smile on my face. Living only 34 miles west of the White House tends to make one a bit too serious about those crazy scary things happening in Washington.

dogette is right! Perhaps BO can take Ted for a drive to Chappaquidick?

Too late. You heard that loud noise up in the sky, sounding like a beaver's tail on the water? Mary Jo bitch-slapping Ted in front of the Pearly Gates.

Yes, Obama appears on Martha's Vineyard and Teddy passes. Coincidence?

Cripes, Suzette! You are a political Swami. A seer of the hidden agendas, a bone-reader of the political ruins. We are not worthy.
Ruck me funning, but you nailed that coffin shut before the coroner arrived!

Obama mentions going to VISIT Teddy today and Teddy gives up the ghost last night. Hmmm. Rather extreme.
(I am crazy about Joan of Argghh's name.)

You are no less than Ted's Jeane Dixon!
