I’ll bet Teddy Kennedy’s liquor cabinet takes up a lot of space.

The “dictation” is proceeding swimmingly, isn’t it, Senator Kennedy?

Saddam probably cherished his secret hideaways too.

Of course they have secret hideaways where they can’t be bothered by nasty things such as constituents.

They are a higher class of citizen than the rest of us.

I hope these are decorated and maintained at taxpayer expense in a style and fashion that helps them to know how important and special they are.

Too bad hideaways don’t open from the outside only.

I really am fed up with elected officials; our country could draft its leaders randomly out of the population and come up with less corrupt and smarter leaders than the goobers we now have infesting the system from top to bottom.

Must be another door Kennedy uses. This one isn't wide enough.

"He frequently turned his hideaway into a love nest," Robert Parker said in his memoir, "Capitol Hill in Black and White." "He would invite a woman there at the end of the day to 'take dictation."'

According to a current staffer, Senator Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., uses his hideaway for similar purposes, and often it is Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who 'takes dictation' from him.

The staff knows a lot of what goes on around there.

keep trying to ram this amnesty nonsense down our throats and these people are certainly going to need some hiding places. Don’t worry— we’ll find you!

Ted Kennedy’s is designed as an Oldsmobile under a bridge...

The premise here is politicians need a hideaway and for good reason, the last thing they want, is to be confronted by everyday people who work hard and play by the rules.

And that right there is the heart of the problem.

Why do we have to supply the congressionals with a hiding place as well as an office?

Cockroaches need hiding places.

Hideaways have been popular places for legislative dealmaking — even a little monkey business, too.

Maybe we can hold their trials in their special rooms, and then we can hang them.

I would assume Leahy just crawls under a rock or into a rat hole when he wants some privacy.

Why the devil are we paying for hideaways? They don’t need them. Tell them to go to their offices. If it’s good enough for us; it should be good enough for them.

In my opinion these guys need more stress in their lives; like real Americans. We aren’t paying them to coddle themselves. Oh, wait, I forgot; they are special.

Wow, unbelievable. I’m sure that a fair number of them have mistresses meet them in the hideaways. I’m curious who are the Senators? (Other than Ted Kennedy, that is common knowledge)

I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a fast embrace
It's called......Ted's D.C. Hideaway.....Ole !

All you see are silhouettes
And all you smell are cigarettes
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Ted's D.C. Hideaway.....Ole !

At the Golden Fingerbowl or any place you go
You can meet your Uncle Max and everyone you know
But if it's a Waitress Sandwich you are thinking of
You will be free.....like Kenned-y
To feel the love

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
You're in Ted's D.C. Hideway.....Ole !

( ooohh yeah!
move over here a little closer
mmmmmm
ahhhhhh.....
OLE ! )
