In the wake of Senator Ted Kennedy's death, conservative talk show radio hosts are licking their chops, poking fun and making tasteless jokes on the newly dead Senator's behalf.
Rush Limbaugh of WABC chomped at the bits, noting Kennedy's reputation as "the lion of the Senate, we were his prey." Limbaugh did admit, "I'm a little uncomfortable going after Ted Kennedy today on matters of politics," but he took in many calls from listeners who showed no compassion.
Limbaugh focused on "the slobbering media coverage" of his life and the health-care plan Kennedy highly supported. Tom Marr called Kennedy a "left-of-Lenin liberal."
Sean Hannity was kind enough to say, "We send his family our deepest condolences," while fearful his death would be used to push President Obama's health-care plan.
Glenn Beck stated, "Regardless of what you thought of his politics, we certainly feel for his family in this tough time. Just another reminder that cancer doesn't care about party." Thanks Glenn, you finally showed some human capabilities.
Just goes to show how politically charmless some of these radio talk show hosts can be.
