Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) just announced on TV (clip on Fox News, 1/9/07) that 'Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam. We have no chance of solving their civil war. We need resolve the war politically, not militarily.' How Kennedy’s staff – who have, in fact, run his office and written every word (all caps, triple-spaced) for the past 20 years – could have let him slip out of his net is a mystery. That this drunken embarrassment who owes his political career only to his brother’s pull is still in office says volumes about Massachusetts, one of just two states to lose population since 2004.
The MSM would have you believe that Ted Kennedy is a revered figure here in Massachusetts. He is not. He is a not very bright drunken playboy of late laid low by the combination of age, senility, and life-long alcohol abuse. Were it not for the 17th amendment to the US Constitution, Ted Kennedy would have lived his life quietly as a drunken womanizer with a trust fund derived from his father’s life of crime. Were that it were so.
Kennedy’s misstatement is breath-taking. We lost Vietnam to the American Left, not to the communists. As has been made clear in any number of books since 1975, the Vietnam War had nothing to do with a civil war and everything to do with an invasion of an American ally by Chinese surrogates. General Giap long ago confessed that Nixon’s bombing of North Vietnam in 1972, had it gone on several months longer, would have utterly destroyed the communist invaders and would have led to their swift defeat. Despite the Democrats’ desperate attempts to rewrite history from their safe refuges on American college campuses, they have been unable to make people forget that it was the Left’s total cut-off of all military aid to South Vietnam in 1973 – even rifle ammunition – that left our allies defenseless and led to North Vietnam’s/China’s final victory. That the MSM ignores this bitter truth is just one more reason to hold them in the contempt they so rightly deserve. That Ted Kennedy remains in the US Senate is just one more explanation of the scorn with which the public views that body. That we might now desert the Iraqs we have pledged to help ("politically" = cut and run) is shameful.
Ok .....that works for me too.
Well, I kinda think addled is appropriate, at least the word from which it was derived is appropriate.....[From Middle English adel, rotten, from Old English adel, pool of excrement.]
If so, you oughta make it clear.
Rush played a clip of Kennedy saying that the Democrats were going to do something about obesity and smoking, does this mean that they are going to pass a law forcing Kennedy to go on a diet and quit smoking, or that they are going to sue Bush or someone else, for causing Kennedy's obesity.
And absent the 17th, does anyone think the IL legislature would have ever, ever even come close to appointing that embarrassment called Carol Mosley Braun?

Bobby would have sunken at least as low as Fat Boy.Call me naive but I'm inclined to think that JFK wouldn't have,OTOH.
He's a Masshole
I hope you are right about that. The truth about Vietnem is slow coming out, but the lies have paralyzed many in my generation and some of them are reaching out to imposse the same template on Iraq war vets. But it could go the other way. The truth could set many free and discredit and retire guy like Kennedy and Kerry.
OTOH with his proclivities he would probably have been one of the first to die from HIV. His New Orleans parties were famous among the local cops and still remembered by some of the old hands. I know the daughter of one of his SS detail, and this man had no respect for him.
It's really amazing that the mental runt of litter was the one to avoid the assassin's bullet.
Semper Fi
With both Kennedy and Kerry sent to the Senate -- the state has been renamed: Massoftwoshits
Semper Fi
The MSM spins it as part of the Kennedy curse. It became something bad that happened to him (in other words, he was the victim) because it cost him a chance to become president.
I have a theory about Ma.... When the patriots dumped the tea into boston harbor, the fish ate the tea and a change occurred in the fish that caused them to secrete new hormones causing treasonous characteristics.
Ma. gave us the minutemen, and our glorius Revolution, but has decended since to give us the likes of Kennedy, Kerrey and Barney Frank.
Has to have come from eating the fish.
In the past we would be labled "RUMMY"
"Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam."
Would that be the 'Viet Nam' that his brother John escalated into a full blown war?
His brother did a good job of trying to get us into Nam. He did through Johnson.Mass should be ashamed look at the senators they put in. Let us face it the demos are nothing but cut and runnners.
I don't think it's the staff who let him slip out of his net .. I believe it's the staff who not only writes the stuff but gleefully parades the Kennedy buffoon spewing all their ultra-leftwing garbage.
Teddy's just too far gone to know the difference.
