| Peggy Noonan: the Kennedy rebellion |
| 2008-02-01 |
| As much attention as the decision of the stars of the Kennedy family to endorse Sen. Obama received this week, it has still not been given its due. This was a break with the establishment and from the expected, and it may carry a price. The Clintons are deeply wired into their party, they run many money lines and power lines, and Hillary Clinton is still, in the Super Tuesday states, in the lead. Will the lives of those who rebelled against her be made more pleasant if she wins? The Clintons have never had the wit to be forgiving. But all parties, all movements, need men and women who will come forward every decade or so to name tendencies within that are abusive or destructive, to throw off the low and grubby. Teddy's speech in this regard was a barnburner. He went straight against the negative and bullying, hard for the need to find inspiration again. He is an old lion of his party, a hero of the base. But people do what they know how to do, and objects at rest tend of stay at rest, and Teddy has long led a comfortable life as a party panjandrum who knew to sit back and watch as the dog barked and the caravan moved on. In a way he seemed to rebel against his own tendencies. He put himself on the line. . . . |

| #2 Fatass Ted was only trying to get some retribution against Bill, who slapped him several times and held him down. Woozle I also thought the lousy MSM chose to omit one the most important power plays by a senior DemoCrap Senator, when they reported Teddies endorsement of Obama. Would you or any other RBee please cite some specific examples of the conflict between the Liar in Chief and the Larded Masshole from Taxachusetts. |

| #1 Fatass Ted was only trying to get some retribution against Bill, who slapped him several times and held him down. Now he's trying to get rid of the Clinton machine and receive the well known adulation he richly deserves as the leading liberal in the Democratic vanguard. There's nothing noble involved. |
