Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis -Ted Kennedy Eulogy May 23, 1994

[ChristianHolloway7]

nice words.

[nykfan97]

The only corrupt Kennedys were Joe Sr. No one else. Joe Jr. died fighting for his country. Jack died serving and trying to make his country a better place. Bobby died trying to make peace and solve the wrong. Ted died creating better Health Care for the United States. All but one Kennedy was a good Kennedy. The family was a great one, and deserved a better opportunity at creating a better United States and a better world.

[booksmart96]

Fuck all yalll. Jackie kennedy was the shit and the best motherfucking first lady

[procommenter]

Teresa Teng died in Chiang Mai on May 8th 1995 from asthma. She was 42 years, 3 months and 9 days old when she died.

[deritpeehs]

jackie kennedy: "look at the two i got stuck with".........i really don't think she liked either of them.

[deritpeehs]

my opinion- jackie kennedy ruined so many lives it is many crimes over and for too long. must have been trying to "make up" for lost time she spent with mafia types and plastered money and her name and evil influence on too many things that others also went along with. is she still on this planet? she needs to leave. go ask God yourself, clueless, and stop your mafia games that victimize and kill others including ME.

[grindlbebe]

I remember that I had the misfortune to hear the hatred of a dittohead who despised Jackie on the day of her death. I wish I had spit in his privileged face. She was fierce in protecting her children, and those cowards who think otherwise are welcome to come through me. Good luck with that.

[perpfin]

Teddy is loved by God who keeps a record of every good things we d, not the bad. There is no mistake too great for God to forgive; we only have to ask. For all the good things you did Ted, we pray for your eternal rest sincerely.

[buggoff]

@ 7.05 - who the hell is calling on the cell phone?

[BeatleJBNBBJFKfan]

Why wasn't Jackie buried next to her last Husband Aristotle Onassis ?

[Earthlinked]

@BeatleJBNBBJFKfan

NO!!! She is buried May 1994 in Arlington National Cemetery - beside John F. Kennedy - Section 45 Grid U-35!!!!

Onassis died in 1975 and is buried in Greece. They did not live togehter for the last 2 years of their marriage -as they were basically laying out the divorce papers.

She preferred to buried next to her first love - President John F. Kennedy. And she is!

[darwincity]

@BeatleJBNBBJFKfan Maybe because this marriage was more of reason than of love, thus removing the "love" factor. And it is much more tempting to be buried in Arlington than to be buried in either Greece or Paris, where Onassis died, especially when, like Jackie, you had the opportunity to be buried in Arlington...

[jayblob716]

The Kennedy family. The best damned family to ever live in this country, and possibly this world. Rest in peace, you will be missed greatly, but never forgotten. :'(

[cdadave83814]

The story of the Kennedys is tragic. The loss is permanent and the loss is forever. When you see JFK and his wife on all that old footage, the thought that strikes me is that they don't look dated at all as so many other people from the past do. The loss of JFK is as huge now as it was in 1963. And Jackie was just amazing, in every way.

[GuinevereJuliet]

"She graced our history..." Exquisitely stated. This was a most lovely eulogy and I thank you for sharing it.

[5H1TH4PP3N5]

XXXpimptaddyone, I posted my comments 2 days ago, and I've moved on. I don't have any proof of the Kennedys manipulating politics and public wealth in their favor. But it's common knowledge George Bush II has. You're thoughts on destroying minorities isn't anything new. I hope you have been replying and posting that elsewhere where you can babble on for days on end. But in the meantime go use your supposed strengths to gain control around you. But you'll need to stay away from the computer a lot

[5H1TH4PP3N5]

I realized this for a long time, and now it's finally sunk in. I thought the people of previous centuries were primative for having lived without today's technology. But we've wasted so much of our lives posting our hate and feeding our addictions from the internet, radio and television. Ted Kennedy lived a full life. He may have inherited wealth because his parents happened to have worked hard. But he's lucky he lived without this technology. He spent time living in reality and facing it.

[5H1TH4PP3N5]

A great American died, and what's sadder is that people who hate him turned to a YouTube video of his eulogy for his sister-in-law to make that known. One being a white Nazi supremacist who spent time in Japan and admired its lack of diversity. Another claiming to have been a Marine, cop and ironworker now begging for pity. And another one with a video of Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan under his favorites. They think they know enough of this man to attack him but have plenty time to waste on YouTube..

[BamaChris]

Let's be clear: The real victim here is Mary Jo Kopechne, not Ted Kennedy. May God bless the Kopechne family during this time, which has surely caused a lot of bad memories to re-surface.

[5H1TH4PP3N5]

I'm sure the Kopechne family has been grieving since that tragic event. But I never labeled Ted Kennedy a victim, and I hesitate to call him a murderer. I know people are still find it suspicious, but like others I call it serious negligence. I just think that posting your thoughts on that on a clip of Ted Kennedy's eulogy at his sister-in-law's funeral is odd. Well, I'm sure you made your thoughts known on a better video that'll reach more people. But I shouldn't really care at this point.

[wouldntwe]

Can't Americans show grace when there is loss? Why such a bitter nation that has so much? Just listen.

[duskyhued476]

I understand your comment but please do not think all Americans are like this..I , for one, am not. THere are always bad apples who spoil the bunch. I love the Kennedys. RIP TEDDY :-(

[caliguy92]

Our sense of honor, dignity, grace, and class died in the turbulant mid-to-late 1960's, along with the Kennedys, our morals, and values...As former First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy once said on November 25, 1963, 3 days after her husband's assasination, "Dont let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot." "Therell be great presidents again but therell never be another Camelot." "It will never be that way again"...

[NJRedSox11]

Well I was unaware but I would think a military man would show a little more respect  when someone dies

[Killerstroke96]

teddy was cool he made mistakes but everyone has and i know he's up in heaven. His little accident will not have any impact on whether or not he makes it to heaven cause truth be told it would be wrong to condemn someone who did so much good for the underpriviledged, "The hope still lives and The Dream will never die"

[Jeannenyc57]

Oh, and res 57, I totally agree with you!

[Jeannenyc57]

Rest her soul and now, rest the soul of Ted Kennedy. The end of an era.

[res57]

Who are you to judge EMK?

[res57]

You people who even in death will not give Edward Kennedy a break- think about this- he did not have to serve- he did not have to care about this country and the poor people in it- he could have just sat on his wealth- what one among you has no flaws and what family has made greater sacrifices- so LAY OFF TED- LET HIM REST IN PEACE!

[ItsBigJimSlade]

fuck him he's burning in hell right now- fucking coward and a dirt bag ... lets the girl he was banging die in the wreck , lies to his wife about her, lies to the country gets off scott free... plus he got out of the korean war... lied to America about the death of his brother shit ... what a dick

[ItsBigJimSlade]

he didnt have to serve??? sure but how would his family , his corrupt father make any dough... they served their own politicaL interest period! if he was such a patriot and willing to serve why didnt he go to Korea??? cuz he and his father are pussy's the family wealth was aquired thru illegal booze and gambling

[NJRedSox11]

Joe their oldest brother died in WWII, and JFK served as well. you have not done 1/1000 of the good that Ted alone has done. Please tell me what have you done for America.

[ItsBigJimSlade]

okay ...not thats it's any of your business but here it goes ... i served as a U.S. Marine for 12 years having served in Beriut , Grenada, Panama, and the Gulf War. I have 2 purple hearts and a bronze star survived 2 chopper crashes have suffered a fractured neck 4 fractured vertabrae a shattered knee plus suffered for years with the rash and fever and migraines "of unknown origin" gulf war syndrome. served a a police officer in Maryland where i was wounded in the line of duty

[ItsBigJimSlade]

2.) having left Maryland returned to NY and became an Ironworker and now suffer from lung disease from exposure to the dust of ground zero for 9 months while on the recovery team (four weeks of which were without pay) what ted do ? let some helpless girl drown and went along with the cover up of his brothers death and served private interest of his croonies

[ItsBigJimSlade]

the kick in the ass is this at 17 i was accused of a crime i did not commit i knew who did but i wasnt ratting them out... so i got the 'judges option" 1 year in the county lock up or 4 years in the USMC infantry , i rolled the dice on the Marines by the age of 20 i had been shot and had fractured my back what have you been up to?

[faja8792]

Your life and career sound like something to be so very proud of. I commend your service but I have toask: how can you have so much hate?

[jbugko]

Kennedy didn't have to serve, he chose to. He didn't have a "judge's option" to either join the marines or go to jail like you and refer to it as a "kick in the ass" like you. He volunteered, and he was elected to serve by the people he represented -- elected nine times by those people. He was the 3rd-longest serving senator in US history. You should watch "Teddy: In His Own Words" which is airing on HBO before you claim to be qualified and throw your slanderous obscene crap.

[BamaChris]

well, there is a huge difference in having no flaws and having the flaws of Ted Kennedy.

[artmanack]

Teddy Kennedy was not saint but who amongst is? Whatever his human frailties he supported the underdog within society. He gave voice to those who had no voice and there are many minorities within the USA and around the world who owe him a great debt of thanks.

[BamaChris]

very few of us have left a woman to die.

[artmanack]

Quite so and I wasn't defending that. But many have killed others by mistake and intentionally. I can think of many cases of hit and runs whereby a driver has knocked someone down and driven away. i would never seek to defend what Ted kennedy did but I refer you to the main point of my post which related to his politics.

[BamaChris]

I also disagree with your point regarding his politics. He did not support the "underdog." He was a vicious altruist, who took money from those who earned it and gave it to those who did not.

[artmanack]

You have made your point and I have made mine so let's leave it there.

[BamaChris]

I wonder if Ted had the same level of respect for Jackie when he and his brothers were swimming naked with prostitutes in the White House swimming pool while Jackie was upstairs in the residence. I think not.

[SEATTLEGRL1]

I have always admired Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who highly evidenced the dying art of social graces.

[hgjt678]

the original

[intio123]

she married a congressman, you have to remember that congressmen don't get paid that much, especially in the 1950's

[alexcool994]

I heard that she was a gold digger.when her husband died,In the 1970's she married a greek millionaire.Also havent you seen the dresses and clothes she wore when she was first lady.Her clothes were more expensive than Michelle Obama's.

[bookkeeper57]

Ted Kennedy spoke well here:  any senator can, and he is senator from life from Massachusetts; but this was special.

[hnchendanmin]

she was beautiful

[NMSherwin]

She will always be beautiful.

[cpmsupply]

She really is someone I look up too. with all she went through, I am amazed she was able to keep her character together instead of letting all the memories she had of unbearable sorrow destroy the best of her. God bless her and I hopes that she has found complete peace.

[WE12WE22]

LOVE

[TayInTheWay]

I realize Jackie's marriage to Onassis was not well-received by many, especially the Kennedys, but the complete absence of his name during the service didn't seem appropriate.

[glammie4]

The funeral was for her, not Onassis.Of course Jack Kennedy was mentioned (after all it was his brother who was assassinated)That was part of history, Mr. Onassis is not really part of American history.I think it was a beautiful eulogy.

[koikoiboi]

I think the fact that Maurice's name was mentioned so frequently outweighs that of Onassis. He appears to have been the real love of her life. And as it was JFK's brother who referrred to him so affectionatly it shows that whomever the person as long as Jackie loved him - he was in!!!!

[mafaldacrumbwitty]

He was not part of history. And, he was not a particularly nice man

[iLuvjeans]

she was truly a magnificent woman....,

She was not only young and attractive, but intelligent and cultivated,and possessed an innate sense of style and elegance.

may she rest and peace as well with her husband and there son......,together with the kingdom of GOD=)

[jandav1981]

I hope she has found complete peace!

[3228jane]

ahsmike, you're an asshole

[ahsmike]

The Kennedy's are all corrupt commies which deserve to die

[thedeuce53]

Funny how attempting to stop poverty is now called communism by the fascist sheeple

[balouner32]

your a fucking idiot

[mafaldacrumbwitty]

You go first, ahsmike.

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

RIP Jackie, a moving speech and stay strong teddy

[BaronessAM]

I was also at St Patrick's Cathedral with Jackie. She was wearing just a plain coat and a kerchief with dark sunglasses and we stood side by side in the vestibule for about 5 to 10 minutes. She smiled at me and I said hello, of course. She smiled and said hi in her soft voice and then she went out the door to walk home. She was so inconspicuous to the people walking by that she looked like just any other New Yorker.

[BaronessAM]

It was Ted Kennedy and his late brother and President Johnson who passed the blow to America that shall kill the democracy. It was the 1965 Immigration Policy that states no longer will Europeans be allowed to immigrate in the States and that the 3rd world would be allowed into the country by the tens of millions. Mostly illegals.

[BaronessAM]

Ted Kennedy is one of the most corrupt bastards that ever lived. I was the last person to do artwork for Jackie Onassis. She always feared what Ted would do with J. F. K. Jr when she was gone. Little did she know that he wouldn't last long either. John-John was the light of her life. May they reunite in Heaven. We'll miss the likes of her always.

[kenl1949]

My dad painted the interiors of the White House for Jackie & Jack in 62/63. See my channel kenl1949 for videos of them. Thanks, Ken Lehman.

[BaronessAM]

I sincerely appreciate your information. It's nice to see another party who had done some work for Jackie. I adored her so much and she was not thrilled about Ted's way of living at all. It's one of the reasons she kept at a distance from the family after the deaths of her brother-in-laws. I would love to paint something at the White House. Even a wall or two. lol I've been there 2 times but, it's not a Palace though. Just a well kept mansion. I liked it.

[vigilance77]

BaronessAM, what makes you call Ted Kennedy a "corrupt bastard"?

[NeoConned]

Put the date of her funeral on in the text of this video please!

[bootworm]

Why don't you look up the date id that what you want.

[hownos]

may 23/94

[didibra]

In my opinion he was one of the best president of the last century. I don't mind if he had fucked Marilyn Monroe.

[Zebonka]

Hell.... wouldn't you?!?

[yot5000]

I bet you would, if given the chance had said "Thank You Marilyn" after you had both seen to your needs? LOL.

But if you are the other way............

[jamiesue1]

"If you bungle

raising your children,

I don't think whatever else you do

well matters very much."

~Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jackie did an awesome job raising her children and your insensitive and ignorant comment is disgraceful.

[yot5000]

She was right, You were right AND I was WrONG BIG time in my commemt.

Sorry

[yot5000]

I love the kennedyz and I don'r know them perzsonal!!!

My fault, BUT I Still LOVE Robert Frances Kennedy. HE was a GOOD MAN and "his Dream" will one day come true. OK Not everyone will get the dream, the world does not work like that.

BUT I can HOPE for the Dream Robert?

[YesYou123333]

@jamiesue1 Great job raising her children? Are you kidding me? I can remember seeing a television program about 15-20 years ago where John Jr. was out in public yelling his head off at his wife. He was cursing her and all kinds of stuff. No respectable man would do such a thing. That man had no class whatsoever.

[7sakaros]

@YesYou123333 every day you have to slap your wife,maybe you dont know for what but she know-onassis

[davidp899]

@YesYou123333 oh fuck you. you have no idea what was happening. he wasn't abusing her. they were just having an argument in the park that someone happened to photograph. everyone in the world fights. quit judging john jr and go fuck yourself.

[Zebonka]

There's no shots of the body in this?

[Kellie3315]

The press was not allowed inside the chapel; speakers broadcast the service to those on the streets.

[lisapunky]

happy birthday jackie!

[MissBessett]

...to make gentle of the world...

[deritpeehs]

"oh, i don't know the details...just do it".

[thespotteddog]

Nice eulogy for a great lady. I'm amazed Teddy stayed sober for the 9 minutes it took to deliver it.

[okieman1200]

Get a life, bashing the Kennedys has become a crutch for conservatives who cannot formulate an argument longer than three words.

[thespotteddog]

Ted has been my senator for 45 years. He is an embarrasement, a drunkard and a philanderer. His reckless actions, while intoxicated, caused the drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne in 1969. All true. And I'll be you still would vote for him. 44 words. All cogent and easy to understand.

[okieman1200]

Forty-four words and only one typo! You get a gold star! Ted has been my senator since my birth 21 years ago and I am proud to say that I have voted for him and I would again. I believe in the concept of redemption, whatever happened 38 years ago, Senator Kennedy has been a vigilant defender of the rights of the common man in his career and deserves to be admired.

[christinamickey06]

Well said. I agree.

[Tim17609]

I suppose you think "Bug Man" DeLay is a great human being.

[shadowlawn3761]

How about three words on issues and policies. The Senator is regarded by his peers as the most effective Senator of the past 40 years. With Bush you have a dry drunk who is the most inept president of the century, if not our entire history. Apply your cogent criticism where it could do some good.

[zxpress]

Wrong. Jimma carter was the most inept president in our history.

[ScottFerrante]

HAHAHAHA

[yot5000]

well wrote. you guys over the pond are lucky to have a rich guy who looks after the poor

[BamaChris]

better to be a "dry drunk" than a coward who drunkenly drove into a lake and left his mistress to die.

[tedbohne]

you know? some people just suck. there is no reprieve for them. there is no hope for change in their penny ante "points" of view. Clearly obviating mankind's long journey ahead in the cycle of evolution just to be decent citizens.

[andrelebaron]

Ted is the sleaziest politician in Washington which is really saying something.

[adeliasmart]

Very touching the eulogy by Ted. I agree with each and every word he said. RIP Jackie

[mtj8]

God bless the Senator. From Bobby's eulogy to this one to John Jr's. The man has been the patriarch of the dynasty since his brother's assasinations and has done that job dilligently.

[NMSherwin]

Teddy does such a wonderful job summing up Jacqueline in less than ten minutes.

[syjajkneba]

Jabberwocky, i think you need to brush up on your english. Are you an illegal immigrant by the way?

[JabberwockyYAH]

Please tell the world why do you go kill your own people? What the hell did Jackie ever do to your imperialism?

Sooner rather than later god will put them revelated 20 million troops in the gulf from China and prove that humananity cannot live together. Where there is no earth there can be no conflict. JK - RIP.

The late great planet earth.

[NMSherwin]

Jabber, Jackie died from cancer....she was a heavy smoker. No one killed her....in all honesty, she killed herself using Virginia Slims.

[koplamp]

i didn't know she was a smoker, never saw a picture of here doing it..

[magmag48]

Jack would not allow her to smoke or have her picture taken smoking.

[MKFaizi]

My husband died from lymphoma, a year after Jackie Kennedy. He never smoked.
