This is an absolute outrage!
2003-11-15
Lard ass troll Sen. Ted Kennedy called President Bush’s judicial nominees "Neanderthals" on Friday, a group that includes Hispanic lawyer Miguel Estrada and African-American Judge Janice Rogers Brown. Boasting of his party’s hatred for minorities resolve in the face of GOP attempts to stop the Democrats’ filibuster, Kennedy told the Senate, "What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States."
Blacks and Hispanics as Neanderthals? It sound like Ted has been consulting with Julian Bond.

#7  The best way to register your outrage would be to contribute to the NRSC. Think Kennedy's nutty now? Imagine if the Democrats in the Senate are reduced to such a minority that they couldn't even filibuster effectively.

Even Old Ted might elect to slink out of the Senate to enjoy the slow slide into cirrhosis from home.

#6  Don't be so mean to Teddy. He's reformed and recently remarried. Altho I find it odd that his wife had a registry at a SCUBA shop.

#5  As a minority, intellectually I realize TK was probably speaking from a political perspective, the smugly superior "conservatives are ignorant scum" worldview of the 'enlightened liberal'. However, on a visceral level, the 'neanderthal' label makes me ill, ESPECIALLY coming from someone who's father was so VERY impressed with Adolf Hitler.

I've never been one to think the apple falls far from the tree, and as TK becomes older, and the scotch turns his brains completely into mush, I think this kind of hateful outburst will become more common. The booze tends to let/make people say EXACTLY what they think.

#3  Teddy may drive you crazy, but whatever you do, do not let him drive you near water.

#2  The Minorities will find out about this one way or the other. And it will backlash bit-time in the elections.

#1  Speaking of the outrage, WHERE IS IT?!?
The Lib media were trying to jump all over Sen. Zell Miller (to the Dims, the Traitor) for saying that Judge Janice Rogers Brown was being "lynched" in the Senate.
Which she was.
