Don't forget to look at the campaign to censure Ted Kennedy:

It takes 30 seconds to do, but will be extremely effective!

Aw, c'mon, cut the guy some slack - he was probably still drunk...his perfect defense is diminished capacity...the amazing this is not that Kennedy says or does what he does, but rather that the dim-witted people of Massachusetts keep sending him to Washington...tis an insult that they export their problems to us.

[Brilliant]

I wonder how Kennedy thinks he's helping the country by spouting Islamacist propaganda.

[veronica]

New low? How do you get lower than leaving a girl to drown in a car, for hours on end, while you search (beer in hand) for someone to take the rap? Au Bar, anyone?

[buffyt]

SINator Blubber the Swimmer is obviously suffering from years of alcohol abuse plus the after effects of his time under water when he drowned poor Mary Jo! HOW the H*LL does he keep getting re-elected? Voter fraud? Buys votes?

[buffyt]

You are so RIGHT!!!!

[MizSterious]

What can be lower than allowing his mistress to drown and then lying about it? The media forgets what kind of scoundrel this man really is--simply because he is, after all is said and done (and plenty is said and done), he's a Kennedy.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Someone said this was Ted's last term..

[MizSterious]

GMTA! I wish some of the media would ask the same question both of us just did!

[Byron_the_Aussie]

With a title like "Three Generations of Sex, Scandal and Secrets," obviously as many extramarital affairs as possible are going to be gone over again. Joseph Kennedy's affairs start it off, and Bly happily retells JFK's affairs with Monroe, Inga Arvad, Angie Dickinson, Gene Tierney, and Judith Campbell Exner. While Ted Kennedy is usually a side-player in such books, he's roasted without mercy, with plenty about his conquests as well -- including one humiliating anecdote where he takes a drunken prostitute to a party, where she wets an antique sofa.

This guy belongs in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta! Get him a suit with gold braid on the shoulders and a sash with a bunch of medals from the thrift store to stretch across his paunch. When Chris Matthews leads with his overheated rhetoric and then brings in other eager Dems to pile on, I think of when the clowns come out at the circus to provide comic relief. Remember how they come out with bells clanging and sirens wailing. Then they set up a burning house so they can put out the fire they just set? Kennedy is the ringmaster and he sends in the clowns. Makes me laugh!

It's difficult, but you have to admit he gives it a good shot (pun intended).

[Ditto]

Where did you get the silly notion that Teddy is even remotely concerned with the good of the country?

[trebb]

I just got back from a vacation at Martha's Vineyard - had to take a ferry over to Chappaquiddick to see where Teddy committed his crime. Even the locals (I had to question a few just to stir things up) are quick to say that he hasn't been back since the "incident". No love there - at least not in public.

It's great to see how many of the Dims lies (and other vile qualities) are getting out into the public with FOX News, Free Republic, and most of all, the real patriots that drive the whole shebang.

Here's to taking our Country back from the commies and other turpitude-ites that would destroy us.

The Dems in general have this notion that dissent is patriotism regardless of what they are dissenting.
They're nuts.

[OldFriend]

Hard to see how a man could leave the scene of an accident that left a young campaign worker dead as reaching a new low.

Anything he does in the realm of politics is hardly lower than that fatal flaw in judgement.

[OldFriend]

You're right, Kennedy just practicing General Clark's version of patriotism.

[asqws]

Let's test you then :-) How do you feel about Bush turning education over to Teddy K?

[ChemistCat]

He voted to give the President war powers.

Isn't it amazing how the principles of non-contradiction do not apply to them, but they can apply them to others so readily?
