“Kennedy Says Mental Problems and Drug Abuse Make Him a Better Representative”

Yeah. Sounds like lieberal logic. I’m a scum-bag, vote for me ‘cause you know you’ve done scummy things too! A person with morals who is honest and decent has no idea how to govern!

Recovery might make him a better person, but that doesn’t translate automatically into political leadership ability.

Also today, Kennedy announced his new campaign manager...

Patrick K has always been the dumb one. But what can they do, he’s the only one that will keep running. The sheeple love these people. When will he move to Mass to replace TK?
