Isn't this actually a racist remark? What would happen if a Republican politician labeled a black and a Hispanic neanderthals? I know one thing. The press wouldn't let him get away with saying that that wasn't what he meant.

[Old Sarge]

Big deal. He'll get a pass, like always.

Let's put our umbrage where it truly belongs - ON OUR WUSSY GOP LEADERSHIP, RIGHT, DR. FRIST?

[MegaSilver]

I'd like to think that he'll pay for this but he probably won't. Just like Byrd.

You never know. Sure, he's gotten away with murder, but then again... to hear some, you might think racism was a worse crime than murder.

[airstrike]

Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. Not nice words from the swim coach.

[KEVLAR]

I think Teddy is projecting. He should get help.

[Vigilanteman]

Orin ought to get his friend a bottle of cheap whiskey and a hooker with the clap.

[Jackson Brown]

""He has totally lost his grip on reality and manners! ""

A lifetime of excessive drinking does kill brain cells...until one day --> more brain cells are dead than alive.

An alcoholic's reality is "different".

[conservativeammom]

Well it is obvious that Sen. Kennedy has managed to pickle what functioning brain cells he may have had with alcohol. Wonder when the Democrats are going to shove a sock in this mans mouth???? Good grief what a racist snob he is.

[swany]

It seems obvious to me he means backward thinking or out of date. I don't believe he was being racist. NewsMax is being overtly over offended, they are the ones who point to a hispanic and african american and making this a racist statement.

That said. It is just this kind of rude and unnecessary name calling and rhetoric that the republicans and the public (hopefully) are getting fed up with.

"I would point out that these are brilliant nominees who didn't cheat or pay people to take their exams like you did at college, you murdering SwimmerBoy Laed*ss Socialist cockroach!"

. . .this and this entire thread, deserve a huge bump.

Listening to FoxNews as I write;and hope this is recounted; over and over; to have the rest of the Media do a glossover on this cannot be tolerated.

oh, they just reported it. . .great!

[swany]

LOL!

[cyborg]

Wow jealousy is an awful thing because I think the nominees have more qualifications to be senator in one pinky fingers than in his whole fata$$.

[Spok]

The man needs an intervention.

[Dog]

They have Kennedys comments on tape..

He stepped in it this time..

[metalboy]

I'd like to think that he'll pay for this but he probably won't. Just like Byrd.

When has drunko ever paid for anything? He`s a Kennedy and that means you`re an untouchable. It`s the demon-rat mafia code. Godfather Drunko shows up bombed half the time, doesn`t even know what he`s voting on, which he demonstrated a few weeks back, but let`s give him another drink, prop him up, and let him rant away.

"errr...My complexion?? Errrr...I err *hic* have that "Rosea" thing...Err..Yeah, errr that`s the ticket! *hic*"

[wimpycat]

I know what you're saying, but crying "racism" is no less than what the Dems would have done if one of our Senators called their judges Neanderthals.

[Recovering_Democrat]

TED KENNEDY CALLED THESE WOMEN "NEANDERTHALS"?

If anyone can give me an exact quote, I'd love it. And let me know if Dan Rather mentioned this tonight. I can't stomach watching him anymore.

[Dan from Michigan]

Ted Kennedy belongs in JAIL.

[hellinahandcart]

Time to play the race card and the sex card, Janice Brown. You're the only one who can do it.

Get your face in front of a camera TODAY and say "'Neanderthal'? I thought that term was reserved for rich white male Senators from Massachusetts who think their elite private-school education qualifies them read a black woman's mind. Why didn't he just call me a monkey and get it over with?"

Fat drunken Troglodyte pisses me off...
