| Via Instapundit. Have some popcorn.... :-D The New York State chapter of the National Organization for Women attacked Ted Kennedy for his endorsement today with some real heat. "Real heat" hell. Try blowtorch on steroids. “Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few. Women have buried their anger that his support for the compromises in No Child Left Behind and the Medicare bogus drug benefit brought us the passage of these flawed bills. We have thanked him for his ardent support of many civil rights bills, BUT women are always waiting in the wings. This woman hasn't. But then I never thought it particularly feminist to wait on somebody else (male or otherwise) to do things for me instead of getting off my dead ass and doing them myself. “And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! We use lots of teenage gurl exclamation points just like the adult women we are!!!!! He’s picked the new guy over us. He's hurt our feeeeewings! Waaaahhhhhh! He’s joined the list of Howard who? and Jim Dean (Yup! That’s Howard’s brother) Howard who? who run DFA DFA? What does that stand for - Da' Fookin' A**holes? (that’s the group and list from the Dean campaign that we women helped start and grow). Serves ya' right, then. Start with a bunch of idiots.... They are Alternet, Progressive Democrats of America, democrats.com, Kucinich lovers and all the other groups that take women’s money, say they’ll do feminist and women’s rights issues one of these days, and conveniently forget to mention women and children when they talk about poverty or human needs or America’s future or whatever. Whatever. Ya' want some extra cheese with that w “This latest move by Kennedy, is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, He explained his respect for women's rights just off a little New England bridge decades ago, idiot. I got the message right then; little slow on the uptake, ain'tcha? women’s voices, women’s "Instead, we demand you appoint a Reads like something from The Onion or Scrappleface, but the guy as Politico swears he checked it out and it's real. After reading this, I believe him. Wotta buncha maroons. |

| #3 The president of NOW (national) is taking a different tone: NOW's Response to Sen. Kennedy's Endorsement Statement of NOW President Kim Gandy January 28, 2008 The National Organization for Women has enormous respect and admiration for Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- Mass.). For decades Sen. Kennedy has been a friend of NOW, and a leader and fighter for women's civil and reproductive rights, and his record shows that. Though the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee has proudly endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, we respect Sen. Kennedy's endorsement. We continue to encourage women everywhere to express their opinions and exercise their right to vote. |

| #1 Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, . . . Read between the lines: "We covered for you after Chappaquidick, we let the whole William Kennedy Smith thing slide by, and so on and so on. You owe us." |
