The Wit and Wisdom of Ted Kennedy
By Clarice Feldman
January 8,2006
Last week he stated that Mao wrote the Communist Manifesto and professed his belief in a patent hoax.This week he states that Goldwater was President.
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank notes some of the wisdom flowing from Sen. Ted Kennedy regarding Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, when he writes in this piece: (via PoliPundit—emphasis added)
"Briefly, Kennedy rewrote the outcome of the 1964 election. 'This nominee was influenced by the Goldwater presidency,' he said. 'The Goldwater battles of those times were the battles against the civil rights laws.' Only then did Kennedy acknowledge that "Judge Alito at that time was 14 years old."
This is why you shouldn't cheat on your exams. In the end , your ignorance will embarrass you.
Amazing he can write at all with a quart of whiskey in his gut!
If only someone could conjure up that interview with Roger Mudd!
Perhaps his comments were ghost-written by one of his cleverer aides.
My recent favorite was when he called Barack Obama "Osama". BTW Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" is one of the best books I've read. It is unbelievable how ahead of his time he was. It was written in 1964, but he talks about arguments we are facing TODAY.
Obviously he can't. Ohhh, I remember fondly the Dewey Presidency, followed by the Perot and Kerry administrations.
Good old Teddy. One of these days, they'll be dragging him frothing at the mouth and slobbering out of the Senate.
It's not nice to say it, but.....the wrong Kennedys (JFK & RFK) were taken from us. Teddy is a moron. Booze, and probably drug, addled. Certainly the worst of the clan at criminal wrong-doing, in that he got caught killing a girl. One crazy sister locked away after being lobotomized, perhaps Teddy shares some defective genetic traits with her. Too bad Teddy was set free and had the family arrange for his dalliance in political affairs.
Well, if nothing else, Kennedy's comments can always be described as fake, but accurate.
(The Mapes response has LOTS of applications!)
ROFLMBO!! Too funny!
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), hosting a morning roundtable with reporters, had nothing nice to say about Alito. "We here in the United States are not going to stand for monarchial tyranny,"
I concur.
So I guess that this means that Ted, his spawn 'patches', and all the others with that inbred Kennedy DNA are going to move to Paraguay???
If they did, they could concentrate all their time on Flying and Skiing lessons. Not that they need any, I hear they're 'expert' sportsmen.
I heard he's suing Applebee's for serving him plain iced tea!

LOL/sarc
Actually, I think is was the New York Times that coined the phrase "fake but accurate." As you say, the phrase has lots of applications to Democratic strategies for attacking the president.
<< One crazy sister locked away after being lobotomized >>
She likely wasn't "crazy" before the mobster manifestation of evil that was called Joe Kennedy - and whose sins are, as we speak, being visited upon at least the third generation - had her mind surgically destroyed.
Just a bit "frisky."
What an evil bunch of gangster bastards, though.
With all of the Kennedy wealth, they could have gauranteed her a full and active life.But apparently that scum Joe was "embarassed" by her existence so lobotomized her and locked her away.
What a thoroughly disgusting family.It's no wonder they're all so damned dysfunctional.
"followed by the Perot and Kerry administrations."
You skipped the more well known Gore presidency.
Compare that pack of mutts with the decent, honorable statesmen of the Bush family, and look which family in fawned over by the MSM. Un-freaking-believable!!!
She wasn't crazy, just incorrigibly promiscuous as a teenager. Old Joe, the bootlegger and friend of fascist dictators, had her lobotomized without even consulting his wife Rose.
I have no idea how this bunch of grifters, drunks, and drug addicts somehow became American royalty.

<< What a thoroughly disgusting family. >>
Repugnant.
Revolting.
Evil.
About Rosemary:
http://www.fatboy.cc/Rosemary.htm
"But Rosemary’s story, so horrifying in its casual, callous brutality, was never forgotten by millions of Americans, and certainly not by any members of the Kennedy family. In the late 1970s, Bobby’s doomed son, David, was reading a copy of the pro-drug magazine High Times when he came across a story on lobotomies. Naturally enough, one of the illustrations was a photo of his beautiful aunt Rosemary, pre-lobotomy."
“She had a new pair of white shoes on,” David recalled later for the authors Peter Collier and David Horowitz. “The thought crossed my mind that if my grandfather was alive the same thing could have happened to me that happened to her. She was an embarrassment; I am an embarrassment. She was a hindrance; I am a hindrance. As I looked at this picture, I began to hate my grandfather and all of them for having done the thing they had done to her and for doing the thing they were doing to me.”
"David died of a drug overdose in 1984. His aunt outlived him by almost 21 years, finally dying in January 2005 in Fort Atkinson, WI, where she had been institutionalized for more than a quarter century. She was 86."
The daily ingestion of large amounts of alcohol over a period of years DOES result in damage to the brain. When there isn't much of a brain to begin with, well....... the result is Teddy Kennedy!
<< Compare that pack of mutts with the decent, honorable statesmen of the Bush family, and look which family in fawned over by the MSM. Un-freaking-believable!!! >>
Decent and honorable?
Without a doubt.
Statesmen?
George Herbert Walker Bush? Nope. Absolutely not.
George Walker Bush? Time will tell. But he'd better get his finger out as he's much to accomplish and three years in which to get it all done.
The MSM are but an extension of the manifestation of evil that is the left. Who cares what the say they "think?"
LOL! I bet 'ole Al is still miffed that Kerry beat him and denied him a second term!
"Osama Bin-Ladin...Osama Obama....Barak Obama.....huhuh..."
"The Nuclear Non-Plolifleration treaty... The Nuclear Non-Plorifleration Treaty....The Nuclear Non-Prolifleration Treaty...."
How does an ignorant, murdering, anti-american, drunken, bloated communist slob like this POS continue to be an icon of a major party?
I imagine a future pollster asking a group of mall-rats the best/worst presidents and 3 out of 10 of them listing the Goldwater presidency.
It is very appropriate that Ted Kennedy is the icon of the party of Godless communists, socialists, traitors, criminals, perverts, race baiters, pseudo intellectual elitists, and the feeble minded.
Just bouncing something off the wall/running it up the flag-pole, as it were, but picture this:
a "Urination Station" on Teddy's grave-site. An infernal flame surround by gravel, plumbed, privacy curtains, hand-rails for those with disabilities--and get the Park Service involved.
$5.00 a 'pop': 'Put out the flame, Win a kewpie doll!" Make sure a cut goes to the Kennedys--they'll agree to anything for a buck. Carter & Clinton too.
We're talking funds for a cure for cancer and retiring the national debt for centuries. Better than the lottery, `cause it's a sure thing. People would be lining up for blocks . . .
Teddy is the most accurate symbol of the RAT party, a fat, braying ass.
Regarding the Goldwater presidency,I remember it well,in spite of the warnings by democrats we weren't nuked at all,and Jimmie Carters second term was great, interest rates fell all the way down to 17%!
LMAO good one
Good point!and no open flame around him.
" I have no idea how this bunch of grifters, drunks, and drug addicts somehow became American royalty."
It's all about the marketing...
Good old Teddy. One of these days, they'll be dragging him frothing at the mouth and slobbering out of the Senate.
Why couldn't they have done that yesterday or today?
Incorrigibly promiscuous sounds harsh at first, but the fact that she was retarded (at least mildly) combined with the fact of her Kennedy libido makes it a fair assessment. After all, it is hard to communicate to a retarded teenager that sidling up to every attractive man might be embarassing to the family and ultimately dangerous to the teenager.
