    WASHINGTON — Rep. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer made the announcement in a statement Thursday night. They say Kennedy is “a relentless fighter for working Americans.” The 37-year-old Kennedy is serving his third term in the House.

    Hmm,, Sarah Palin is blamed for murders in Tucson, she did not commit and no way connected to, by the MSM, but yet Ted Kennedy, whose own Oldsmobile was found with a dead woman in a Chappaquidick pond was heralded, as the "Lion of the Senate" by the same MSM. The MSM is insane.

    Of course every network would have had special logos featuring bridges, water, wrecked cars or portraits of the main players. And each would have had a snappy title for their non-stop coverage: "The Bridge Too Far," "Tragedy on the Vineyard," "Teddy in Trouble," "Camelot Submerged" and so on. If we'd had insatiable 24/7 cable news networks in July 1969, the accident on Chappaquiddick Island in which a passenger in a car driven by Sen. Edward Kennedy drowned would likely have dominated the national consciousness for months. Special programs every night devoted to nothing but pundits bickering over the depths of...

    Celebrate the life of Teddy Kennedy-the lyin' Lion of Camelot--the man who helped pass legislation to try to ensure Third World status for the U.S., who smeared eminent jurist Robert Bork in order to keep the Supreme Court on track to dismantle the Constitution, coinventor of the waitress sandwich, ladies man, and the Hero of Chappaquiddick-- who tried his utmost to deliver on his promise of "A blonde in every pond". Here's the soundtrack of his heroic saga- 5 separate acts, each recounting his inspiring life story--captured on 5 CDs in an exclusive boxed set: CD # 1 Younger Days...

    Ted Kennedy pulled an all-nighter last night - how ironic is that? There must be something about Ted Kennedy and all-nighters on July 18, because it was 38 years ago tonight that he pulled another one. At Chappaquiddick. Will Teddy’s Senate office issue a statement today about the anniversary of his 1969 drive off the bridge? They used to. But you know the Kennedy bumkissers would prefer to ignore this day which will live in his infamy. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. After all, Teddy’s got so many big issues on his plate, even after the defeat of...

Kennedy will be fielding your comments over the next 24 hours and responding, via an interview with host Judy Woodruff, on Friday morning. Thanks in advance to Yahoo! users for your thoughts, and to Sen. Kennedy for agreeing to participate. The question of immigration and immigration reform is likely to loom large in this forum, as it has with previous Talk to Power guests. Sen. Kennedy,...

    -- If the Bay State senators could hang an ornament on the Pentagon Christmas tree, it would be pink. A pink slip, that is, for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Democratic Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry called for Rumsfeld's resignation last week, following a speech at John Hopkins University in which Rumsfeld defended the war in Iraq and critiqued the mainstream media's war coverage. "We've arrived at a strange time in this country where the worst about America and our military seems to so quickly be taken as truth by the press," Rumsfeld said. As an example, Rumsfeld later pointed...

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tracey Schmitt 202-863-8614WASHINGTON – RNC Communications Director Brian Jones today issued the following statement on Sen. Ted Kennedy’s obstructionist comments today on Face the Nation: “Sen. Ted Kennedy’s hypocritical and obstructionist comments this morning are more evidence Democrats would rather launch partisan political attacks than confront the issues facing our nation. Sen. Kennedy's statements contradict his previous support for abolishing the filibuster altogether and solidified his status as a leader of the ‘Party of No.’ False attacks and hypocritical statements will do nothing to ensure highly qualified judicial nominees receive the up or down vote they...

    Can we now refer to Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law as the Donnie Brasco of the national Democratic Party? Donnie Brasco was the FBI agent who infiltrated one of the Mafia families in New York. After he was finally outed, the boys were not pleased with the hood who had sponsored him, Sonny Black. It wasn't pretty when the garbage bag containing Sonny washed up on the shore of Sheepshead Bay. Of course the Kennedys are above that sort of retribution. They don't sleep with the fishes. They just drink like them. But this Ray Reggie story is very embarrassing to the...

    WASHINGTON (AFP) - America's ongoing military entanglement in Iraq (news - web sites) has become President George Bush (news - web sites)'s Vietnam, US Senator Edward Kennedy, a leading member of the opposition Democratic party, said. The harsh words refer to the US role and ultimate defeat in the 1964-1975 Vietnam war. Iraq is "clearly is George Bush's Vietnam," said Kennedy, speaking on CBS's "Face The Nation" program. Kennedy then blasted Bush's claim in an interview in Sunday's Washington Post that his Iraq policy was endorsed by the US public because of his November 2004 re-election victory. "I think that's...

The Bush girls, at least.Forget four years of shunning the spotlight. President Bush's twin 22-year-olds, Jenna and Barbara, strutted into it last night with a sassy, sexy serenade to their parents at the Republican National Convention, every wisecracking word broadcast live on national television. They spared no one."She thinks 'Sex in the City' is something married people do, but never talk about," Jenna, the blonde, razzed her grandmother, Barbara Bush.

    THE GIRLS: But Jenna and Barbara really did steal the show. The word "sex" emanated from the stage. No, this wasn't an ad lib. The marketers who are promoting the policies of James Dobson and Rick Santorum were making jokes mocking the prudery of people who think "Sex and the City" is something only married people do and never talk about. Like the president's gaffe about not winning the war on terror, this could never have been uttered at a Democratic convention without the Dems being described as out-of-touch metrosexuals. But the delegates, knowing that this kind of front is...

    VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The body of a local socialite once related by marriage to the Kennedy family was found in a sunken car, authorities said. Police do not suspect foul play in the death of 65-year-old Hope Sheridan, who was last seen March 8. Family members in Windham, N.Y., reported her missing on March 11. Sheridan is the ex-mother-in-law of Michael Skakel, a cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Skakel, 42, is serving 20 years to life in prison for the beating death of his Greenwich, Conn., neighbor, Martha Moxley, in 1975. Divers found Sheridan's car Monday afternoon...
