#1 Ted "Killer Rapist" Kennedy would be bitch slapped and thrown in the basement if his brothers were still alive. JFK would use a 9 iron on his adams apple...

#5 Now, Kennedy said, the United States and the insurgents are both battling for the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people and the U.S. is losing.
This is like saying the KKK was just trying to win the hearts and minds of the people it was brutalizing. I really can't decide if he's gone completely insane or if he wants to hurt the Bush Administration so bad he doesn't care how many people die in order to do it. Either way, he's gone lower than I ever thought he would.

#7 ...At least Joe, John, and Bobby wore their country's uniform. All Teddy did before he hit the Senate was to get 86'd out of Harvard for cheating.

By the way, is he setting a timetable for letting us know how Mary Jo died? Just asking.

#8 Like Father like Son. Teddy's Pa blamed Roosevelt for Joe's death, not Hitler. If he had had his wish we would be Hieling today.

#9 Ted Kennedy is a socialist. A socialist will do or say anything to advance a socialist agenda. It doesn't matter if his words encourage an armed enemy of the USA, it doesn't matter if a US military gets kill by a suicide bomber who decided to become a suicide bomber becuase of Kennedy's speech. The only thing that matters is the agenda.

If Kennedy gets Americans killed, then that is a price he is willing to make others pay. If he stands atop a pile of dead Americans he thinks he really is taller and better than anyone else.

As I have said before:

Liberals love dead Americans, espeically dead US Military.

#10 Teddy is just like his pappy, Joe Kennedy was a huge Hitler appeaser.

#11 badanov, I'm not so sure Teddy is a true Socialist. He seems to espouse socialism with "the government's money" and In wanting more and more Government controls on our everyday lives as long as those same controls don't apply to him and HIS money. I lived in Boston for two years (1991 and 1992) and it amazed me the degree of resignation the people had about the state and local government control over everything. I had spent the two previous years in Portland, Oregon and the contrast was startling. I hadn't really known just how much influence the Kennedys had over Massachusetts politics until I lived there. The take I got was, "Yeah he's a sonofabitch but he brings a lot of Federal money to the State".

#12 Not such a bad idea, Ted! Think how much shorter World War II could have been if we declared we were only going to fight the fascists for a year and after that, the hell with it!

#14 well its interesting to see Ted does NOT agree with McCain and other Rumsfeld critics. McCain et al think weve had too few troops in Iraq. Ted thinks we have too MANY.

#15 Sounds like Teddy ~~dried out~~ dusted off one of his old Hamburger Hill speeches.
He was an ignorant prick then, and he's still an ignorant prick now.

#16 Teddy's surely a large part of the source of the problems he decries. He should just retire.

#19 James Taranto comments on "the malignantly magniloquent Massachusettsan" in the WSJ's "Best of the Web" (emphasis added):

John F. Kennedy's presidency is hard to evaluate because it was so brief, but he is best known for the soaring rhetoric of his 1961 Inaugural Address . . . Kennedy's brother Ted, whose 15,423 days of service make him the second most senior U.S. senator, is best known for driving off a bridge and leaving a young woman to drown. His attitude toward America's role in the world is the opposite of his brother's; it's best summed up as an inversion of FDR: We have nothing to offer but fear itself. . . .

. . . Ted Kennedy is, as The Wall Street Journal puts it today, "cheerleading for America to fail" because his ideology leaves him unfit to cope with American success. If he has his way, democracy in Iraq will suffer the same fate as Mary Jo Kopechne.

#24 I personally feel that he is attempting to set up for the (very distant) possibility that just such an announcement will be made.

If it was made, it would set prop up ~~his drunken ass~~ presidential hopes.

Political posturing. Why couldn't we trade him out for Robert? I'll have to go speak with my connections on the far side of the veil . . .

#25 I'm torn about him shutting up. On one hand he is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In the long run this will be his legacy in history. He'll be remembered for this like Rather will be remembered for the Burkett docs.

#29 Mr. Kennedy is not a socialist - he is an enemy from within. He is a fascist for his own cause - much more dangerous than a socialist.
