Senator A. Filibuster Bagogas (Kennedy) Puts Soldiers At Risk
2004-05-10
From Hugh Hewitt:
Senator Ted Kennedy, on the floor of the United States Senate today:
"Protection of the Iraqi people from the cruelty of Saddam had become one the adminsitration’s last remaining rationalizations for going to war....So it is human rights that the adminsitration turned to in order to justify its decision to go to war. On December 24, 2003, the day Saddam was captured President Bush said that ’for the vast of Iraqi coitizens who wish to live as free men and women this event brings further asssurance that the torture chambers and secret police are gone forever.’ On March 19, 2004 President Bush asked ’Who would prefer that Saddam’s torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management."
Bush = Saddam? Who is this drunken b*****d kidding?

These were about 12+/- soldiers who shouldn’t have been where they were and will be crakin’ rocks at Leavenworth for all the danger they put their fellows under.

#8  Ted Kennedy is trying hard to replace Robert Byrd as the most blatant self-parody in the Senate. Too bad for these bloviators that vaudeville is dead.

#7  Is there something that members of the general public can do in the form of harassment to try to get him to have a stroke? Can we send him X-mas cheese samplers all year round or send him an aquarium with Barbie and one of her pink autos submerged in it? Adding several of the liquor sampler bottles from the airline stewardess' cart might be a nice touch.

#6  I for one would like to order Ted a bourbon with a chaser of STFU.

Will anyone stand up to the Drunken Master? Ted Stevens (or is it Stephens?) from Alaska has been known to get into it with the Kennatee on the floor of the Senate. I'd like to see it, and soon.

#5  Unfortunately Teddy gets press and his comments will be broadcast by the leftist media and many Americans out there will believe him. This entire political season has gotten out of hand. In the quest for the white house the dims will resort to anything including denigrating the military and the US. They are showing by their words they do not care about our nation. Their power is first and foremost. But, again, unfortunately, many out there will believe them and vote with them.

#4  Surely this is the moment when the hype of the scandal has burst itself from overinflation.

#3  Per the LLL model, the guilt-ridden gin-soaked sod Kennedy projects his apropos self-loathing onto others. It is accurate to say that more people suffered far greater injury and insult, ending in death, in an Oldsmobile in Chappaquiddick under the direction of a drunken and criminally derelict Teddy Kennedy than has been proven against US Military personnel in Iraqi Prisons. Perhaps he should be cracking rocks alongside those convicted of abuse. Perhaps he should've met Reddy Kilowatt long long ago.

#2  No, CrazyFool, it's become his stock & trade. The 'Iraq is Bush's Vietnam' tirade was just the warmup act. I wish the real JFK was around to give Teddy a monster bitch slap, though.

#1  This is sickening.

Comparing a few over-hyped photoes to the deliberate murder and real torture of millions for his own (or Kerry's) gain is over the top -- even for a piece of offal like Ted Kennedy.
