Oh, I hate to tell you, Kennedy makes him sound Kissinger-esque.
The audio clip is mysteriously difficult to locate. It is embarrassing all around.
From the NY Daily News:
“Transcripts of her interviews with other media outlets showed the same problem. She said “you know” at least 130 times to The New York Times and more than 80 times on New York 1.
When The News asked if President Bush’s tax cuts on the wealthy should be repealed immediately, Kennedy replied:
“Well, you know, that’s something, obviously, that, you know, in principle and in the campaign, you know, I think that, um, the tax cuts, you know, were expiring and needed to be repealed.”
Jocelyn Rasmussen, a Manhattan voice coach, said Kennedy’s verbal tics don’t necessarily betray weakness or doubt.
“She’s just inexperienced,” she said. “It’s just a habit, the way young people all say ‘like’ every other word. I don’t think she even knows she’s doing it, to that degree.”

No.
Honestly, any ninth grader in my speech class would be laughed at. I cannot make my point, though, because here defenders have taken the clips off the internet. We cannot hear her speak. WE never hear her speak.
But there is no excuse at all. She is educated beyond her speaking capabilities, which are of an elementary school level.

Just go to the field and fire a couple of arrows in the air.
“Hey, who let you dames out of the kitchen?”
I once lived in a town that had a Japanese-owned auto parts plant. The parent firm would rotate managers in and out from Japan for several years at a time.
The biggest problem that those guys faced was that after a few years in our feminist-spiked culture, their wives had absolutely no desire to go back.
Stand up, Chuckhiro.
Should they be sitting home eating Bon Bons and watching Oprah instead?
>>Should they be sitting home eating Bon Bons and watching Oprah instead?
For the most part, yes. Japanese culture pretty much dictates that once you marry, you go home and stay at home while your husband works. There are a few that go to work as OL (office ladies), and the glass ceiling is VERY low.
and they are sending this nutcase to China during a tense standoff??
Biden is an idiot...my first big diplomatic detail in Iraq was covering him....the stress he caused is unforgivable! Highly clueless!
