“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

Unfrigginbelievable.

I think that the quote about Kennedy takes the prize. Shameful, absolutely shameful. I am glad that Chris Hedges and his hate-America lecture in Rockford got mentioned as well. However, I also like this one too:

Dukakis was no liberal and neither was Mondale. Both of them had several people to the left in those primaries. It was what the Republicans did to them once they got the nomination that made them seem to be liberals in both cases."

One candidate wanted to ban the Pledge of Allegiance and the other said outright that he was going to raise America taxes. No, of course they are not liberals...

On Meet the Press yesterday, Laura Bush and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg were co-guests. In the segment I saw, Laura was asked most of the questions, and she responded in a ladylike, adult, poised manner, but didn't look at Caroline once. When the camera drew back, Caroline's face came on camera several times while Laura was speaking. Caroline looked at her with no expression. No smile. Then she'd realize she was on camera and quickly would paste an insincere smile on her face. The one comment she made was to blather on (in response to a softball question by Russert linking Jackie's comment about the importance of raising children), that yes, raising her three kids and taking care of her husband so they'd have a happy family was the most important thing in her world. No mention of the scores of nannies and servants who help out. And while we're on the subject of Caroline -- she's needed braces for years. Doesn't she ever look in the mirror? She has an overbite a beaver would envy, and her upper front teeth are hideously crooked. When she smiles, her upper lip sticks to the bottom of her slightly hooked nose, showing a good two, three inches of gumline. It's very unfortunate. End of rant. I feel better now.
