| Ensign blasts Kennedy over Iraq comments |
| 2004-05-12 |
| KRNV Channel 4, Reno, Nevada. Nevada Senator John Ensign blasted Democrat Ted Kennedy for his "shameful" statements likening US soldiers to Saddam Hussein’s torturous regime. The Nevada Republican was commenting on a statement credited to Senator Kennedy Tuesday. Credited to? Who do they think that was appearing on C-SPAN? Ron Higgins, professional Cardinal Richelieu impersonator, in his Ted Kennedy mask and fat suit? Kennedy is quoted as saying, "Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management." Ensign believes Kennedy crossed the line with his comments and called on Kennedy to retract them immediately. "To express disappointment or anger over what has occurred at Abu Ghraib prison is one thing. To put American servicemen and women in the same category as one of the most evil and bloodthirsty regimes in modern history is reprehensible." Ensign said it is appalling that anyone would make those kind of comparisons, let alone a US Senator. "I’m disgusted and ashamed that such a comment would be made by anyone, in any setting. For it to be uttered by a United States Senator is especially shameful." He believes Kennedy owes US service members an apology. "Senator Kennedy needs to retract that statement and apologize immediately to the men and women risking their lives in Iraq." If you think he actually will apologize, there’s a bridge in Massachusetts I’d like to sell you. |
