Bill Pleads With Ted, Is Rebuffed
Riehl World ^ | Sunday, January 27, 2008

Ouch! Maybe being an ex-president isn't what it used to be. Especially after you've tarnished the image throwing so much South Carolina mud.

“This is the biggest Democratic endorsement Obama could possibly get short of Bill Clinton,” said a high-level Democrat.

The Clinton campaign launched a last-ditch effort over the last few days to stop Kennedy's move, orchestrating a flood of phone calls to Kennedy from sources ranging from union chiefs to his Massachusetts constituents.

The former president also called Kennedy in a vain attempt to keep him out of the race, a source familiar with the conversation said.

During his two terms in the White House, President Clinton made repeated overtures to the Kennedy family. So the senator’s rejection of his wife is at least as embarrassing as her 28-point loss in the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

The only question left is when do the trail of bodies start to appear? If I was Teddy, I would not be flying too many planes.

Maybe he'll be found accidently drowned in his Oldsmobuick.

Would you vote for Obama in exchange for never, ever, ever hearing or seeing the clintons again?

Absolutely yes! Call me an 'Obama Republican', but I think you've raised a question that is suddenly occurring to many folks!

Hitlery: 'But Ted...WHAT will become of me?'

Ted (Buick Driver): 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.'

What would one expect of Uncle Teddy...his nephew was in a non-accidental plane crash. His body was pulled out the of the Atlantic the day he was to announce his run for the NY Senate Seat that PIAPS evidently won. OH MY...

All part of the pact with the devil the Clintons made.

I thought the Kennedys were considered trash in Boston.

Teddy has survived one plane crash, back in the 1960s. He lost a brother and a nephew to plane crashes.

JFK Jr.'s plane crash happened during the time he voiced plans of running for the vacant NY Senate seat!!!

Hello, hello???

Illinois’ electoral votes weren’t enough in 1960 so the ballot-box stuffing in Chicago isn’t the whole story. He also needed some help in Texas, which is where having LBJ on the ticket paid off. Ironically, it seems, Kennedy had planned to offer the slot to Stuart Symington but was blackmailed into taking LBJ instead.

OK, so Obama has Caroline Kennedy and Uncle Ted. Has “Patches” made an endorsement yet?

What about an endorsement from Jimmah Carter? Isn't he the Grand Poobah of the Moonbat Left?

With the Kennedy family supporting Obama the Democratic nomination is going to be a slugfest with the Clintons taking no prisoners. Better for the GOP if a civil war breaks out in the Democratic ranks.

Noonan says Kennedy would have run for the New York Senate seat won in 2000 by Hillary Clinton. He says Kennedy said of Clinton: "Wait until she gets here. She's gonna get her head handed to her."

You can blame Rudy for this whole mess!!!

Not yet but this Soap Opera is just in the beginning minutes. Stay tuned for more irrelevancies brought to you by politicos in overdrive.
