Ted,

I have always respected and appreciated your comments on this board, but you have stepped out of bounds yourself.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it YOUR network that has had Geraldo Rivera camped out on the Kennedy's lawn for the past 3 days? Who needs Kennedy-bashing when we have Geraldo there to make a 3-ring circus of it? Wasn't it YOUR network that I saw cameramen taking photos of JFK Jr's sister and her husband bikeriding when they were obviously in mourning? Sheesh, leave those people alone and let them grieve in private.

Yes, perhaps some of us, who are fed up with certain elected officials annointing themselves and their families as "above" us tax paying commoners, have been somewhat out of bounds in tasteless humor. But let's face it, your network is showing even less respect than us while these folks are in mourning. Believe me, our Kennedy bashing is nothing compared to the insult to their family of your network paying that asshole attention-grabber Geraldo Rivera to make a tabloid joke out of their sorrow. Trust me, our tasteless humor isn't offending them--I'm sure their mourning process doesn't include a daily check of Silicon Investor. But "journalists" who are timely reporting their every bowel movement and sticking a microphone in their face at every opportunity is probably pretty insulting.

Gary
