In a speech this morning at the dedication of the new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, President Obama praised the late Senator effusively, citing his bipartisan creds and pondering what the world would be like if we all "carried ourselves more like Kennedy. (Oops, did we say "pond"?) The folks at Digitas Daily think Obama might have been well-advised to choose different words, though, when talking up Kennedy's reach across party lines.
"[Republicans] know who Ted Kennedy was. It's not because they shared Ted's ideology or his positions, but because they knew Ted as somebody who bridged the partisan divide over and over again."
Bridged? You gotta be kidding.

It’s still there. It may have been replaced but there’s still a bridge there.

If I get caught speeding, I get a ticket. If I get caught drowning my mistress, I go to jail.
If I get caught collaborating with the enemy, I go to jail. If I get caught driving drunk I go to jail.
If I get caught obstructing justice, I go to jail.
If I pay off a mobster, I go to jail.
Obviously, my name is not Ted Kennedy.

Ted Kennedy was a master at crossing bridges. Just ask Mary Jo Kopechne.
Oh wait, she’s dead. Never mind.
Yep he reached across the aisle.
Robert Bork’s America is a land where women are butchered in back alley abortions. Blacks will have to go to the back of the bus. School children can’t be taught about evolution.
He sure was reaching when he led the campaign against Bork being nominated to the Supreme Court.
Ted may get honored here on earth, but, I wonder where he is now - and if he’s having any “waitress sandwiches” with the demons in hell?
Does he even know what he is saying?
I don’t think those words mean what he thinks they do...
Kennedy’s “position”? On “top”, I assume except for that waitress sandwich thing with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Ct). One pimping for the Soviets. The other for the Marxist Sandinistas of Nicaragua.
Let’s say that Kennedy (and Kerry and Dodd) has positions that were always opposed to American containment policies against communism (Vietnam, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Grenada, Soviet Union, Red China).
Obama Praises Ted Kennedy For ‘Bridging’ Partisan Divide....and then promptly driving America off the side.
Teddy was a lying murdering traitor until the day he finally stopped stealing oxygen.
IF TED KENNEDY HAD DRIVEN ONE OF THESE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF OUR PRESIDENTS
Yea OK and I suppose he thinks he has brought people together.
Garbage, pure garbage.
