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

[rdb3]

This may qualify as a two-fer, Mike.

[Freemeorkillme]

I was a tinsy bit shocked to hear him say this.....NOT.

Respect for human life on display. You go, Ted!

[Political Junkie Too]

I guess that's one evolutionary step above monkeys, another popular pejorative.

[mhking]

Two-fer ping, indeed.

I guess we're all knuckle-draggers now.

Well, at least we didn't leave a woman to die in a submerged car, eh, Teddy?

[friendly]

Hey Teddy, why don't you just call the blacks and hispanics "monkeys" in your nauseating hate speech. 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!

[The_Victor]

I'd love to see Teddy's IQ compared to the judges he is filibustering, and subsequently called Neaderthals. If he is more intelligent than any of them, I'll eat a sh!t sandwich.

Kennedy's overtly racist language

I never realized that Neanderthals were a race.

[buffyt]

Yikes! what a HORRIBLE racist thing to say! He has totally lost his grip on reality and manners!

[Argus]

Better a Neanderthal than a gaseous, drunken fraud who's a disgrace to the entire Celtic race.

Kennedy's overtly racist language

Calling it racist is ridiculous, but it was totally uncalled for.

INTREP - Has this man no shame???

Go to C-Span:

and click on the "Senate GOP News Conference on Judicial Nominations Debate (11/14/2003)"

About 30 minutes into the press conference, Lindsey Graham GOES OFF on Kennedy's comments about these judges being Neanderthals, and Orrin Hatch says that he and Ted Kennedy have been friends for a long time, but wonders what has happened to Ted Kennedy in the past couple of years, that his comments have become exceedingly volatile.

On my version of Real Player, I can fast forward through to the part I want to see, but the whole news conference is well worth watching.

[lormand]

What did it get Ted Kennedy? Re-election every 6 years.

[Joe Boucher]

What a resume:Senator, killer,drunk, utter ass.

[Cicero]

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?

[airstrike]

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

[KEVLAR]

I think Teddy is projecting. He should get help.

[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.
