OK I thought it would be appropriate to do a review of HBO’s Recount.  I watched it this weekend, and I got to tell you, it seemed to present an accurate view of the 2000 election battle, and more specifically the recount that occurred afterwards.  Now being a republican I though it drifted a little to the left, but only a little.  It was interesting to see how the Republicans worked the system to get a favorable outcome, however the Democrats worked the system as well.  All in all I would recommend it to someone who wanted to get a better insight into these past events.

So Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and all the newscasts can talk about concerning this is “Oh those poor Kennedy’s”. However the Kennedy’s are anything but poor and this country has treated them very well. All these so called tragedies with the exception of JFK’s assassination, Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, and the death of Jackie Kennedy were all brought on the Kennedy’s by the Kennedy’s! Like Teds infamous Chappaquiddick incident. They call this a tragedy, it wasn’t. Could it have been a accident, perhaps however the way Ted handled it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Also let’s not forget the tragedy that was John Jr’s plane crash. HA! This was simply a stupid move by a overconfident under experienced pilot. Plus the very way the Kennedy’s originally got there money has been covertly “swept under the rug”. I guess prohibition profiter doesn’t look that great to the American people when running for public office. These events are not tragedies they are just the continuing story that is the Kennedy family.
