#1 I see... and I guess Monica Lewinsky is the bloated, waterlogged corpse in Bill Clinton's submerged Cadillac?

#2 Teddy Kennedy remains under the delusion that he is somehow influential in American politics...that ended a long time ago.

#3 In the Brookings Speech, Kennedy branded Iraq as "George Bush’s Vietnam," but added that the military campaign diverted attention from "the administration’s deceptions here at home."

Check back in nine more years, Tubby, if you're still around then.

#4 Oh, I don't know Teddy. Maybe Vietnam was Jack's Iraq, you fat, drunk, despicable, bitch drowning, fuckin' slob.

#5 I know Raj (You're our long suffering Mass guy, right?) won't appreciate it, but why is California so regularly lampooned for being Looney Heaven when Mass has been at least as Looney for the last hundred years or so? Who else would elect BOTH Toddy and Skeery? Simultaneously! That's pretty fucking looney no matter how you slice it.

And speaking of slicing it, I used to think that if you cut California and Louisiana from the US that you'd eliminate 50% of the fringe extremes of the country in one shot. Nowadays I'm of the mind that I'd miss Pascale's Manale and Jackson Square too much - keep Lousiana and toss Mass in with Laficornia and just whack the LLL extreme. I love Ahnold, but... Nobody in Mass to miss 'cept Raj - and we'd throw him a lifeline, methinks. ;-)

#6 That's it, .com; don't forget tu3031 either! I'd just move back to NH, "Live Free or Die".

To add to BH's comment - Monica was 'Clinton's Chappaquiddick'...

#7 Raj - You're welcome anytime in "fly-over" America, y'know!

tu3031 - Sorry! I didn't know, honest! 2 for 1 sounds great to me!

You guys listen for the "secret phrase" during the Rush Limbaugh shows, K? Remember, it's "The snows of winter will pass with time. HAUL ASS! Patience and preparation will bring a lovely Spring." When you hear Rush casually toss this into his normal show, you'll know you have 12 hours before the first mushroom cloud. Cheers!

#8 "The pattern of deception and the administration’s efforts to dismiss any critics, he said, has polarized and paralyzed Congress and is undermining the public’s trust in government."

No, Ted, YOU are undermining the public's trust in government. And you're doing it with deliberate intent, in wartime, for political gain, and you know damned well that what you are doing is jeopardizing your country's very survival.

Not only are you a murderer, a liar and a drunk, you are a traitor as well.

#9 We want Ted front-and-center, on the road giving speeches every day between now and November. Target Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania next, Ted. Be sure to tell 'em that you and Kerry agree on just about everything.

#10 Don't blame me, I'm from Massa- ...er... never mind. I did my part to keep Skeery out of the Senate, but the (R)s didn't even field a candidate: (D) victory by forfeit. Living here long enough, the Free Staters infiltrating NH look more appealing all the time.

Whadda blow hard.

#12 I have a tendency (obession) to joke about the senior senator from Mass... Scuba jokes, driving jokes, law enforcement jokes, DA jokes, sealed record jokes. But she's still a corpse and the Senior Senator from Ma. ought to do at least weekend visits to the state pen.

#13 Does this mean that Kerry and Jane will replay their role as 'inspiration to the Enemy'?

#14 They already are a major inspiration. Everyone from Annan to Zapatero, from the Mad Mullahs of Iran to Yassir Arafart, smells the sweet scent of weakness. And they love it.

#15 If this is a "Vietnam" then it is all our Vietnam. Thanks to the Dimwit left again to remind us of Nam.
Their satisfaction, whether intentional or not, is to run this country into the ground. I'm sure all the troops appreciate that drunk bastards rantings everytime he speaks. GWB won't let that happen again. Powell would "rough" him up before he would allow that.

#16 Actually he originally said "Iraq is George Bush's Chapaquitic" but a senior aide told him that "Vietnam" would have a little more punch to it.

#18 Thanks for watching out for me, Raj.
Yeah, .com. Whenever I go around on vacation, we always get the question when we're "exposed". "What's wrong with you people up there voting for those friggin idiots?"
Then my wife brings up the interesting point that Fat Boy was elected on the day she was born. He's been in the Senate as long as she's been alive.
That makes me ill.

#19 tu / Raj - I'm just funnin' with ya. You have my deepest sympathies - no shit. It's really easy to sit somewhere else and make fun... it has suck to know you're powerless to stop the mad music. Best Regs to you both - and good luck: Your State Law must suck, too, given your neighbors. 8^(

#21 well, from Sunny San Diego I can say anyone trying to disassociate this republican bastion from the states is gonna have to come through me, my Pendleton Marine neighbors, the (32nd st) Pacific Fleet, and MCAS Miramar - if you're man enuf? I don't think so...

California's a big damn state - you might wanna reconsider writing it off, based solely on our fruits and nuts

"You talking to me?

Lol! Hey I lived in Sammy Dago for the last 2.5 yrs before going back to SA - I LOVED Del Mar. But the State Taxes Suck! Hence Nevada, today. ;-)

Well said, Dave. Their words speak a tome of what really is important to the Demorats.

#24 Ted makes an interesting point. What would have happened in Vietnam with Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell, Tommy Franks, the reserves called up, finacial backing by Congress...?

#25 We in Colorado made the mistake of saying the "decent" folks from California were welcome to move out here and settle down. We were invaded by dummycheats, instead. We've spent the last ten years beating them down, keeping them at bay, and gradually re-educating them. It's been a long, hard fight, and a couple of times we almost lost it. Conservatism still isn't guaranteed here - the influx of "D"s that came to (mostly) Denver beginning in the late 1960's through the mid-1990's heavily tilted several state congressional districts. The one thing that disturbs me the most is that many of the people that moved here left California because of the "stupid laws", then tried to pass the SAME laws as soon as they got settled here.

Massaholitch has a problem - their politicians all belong to the same half-dozen families that have too much money, the same stupid ideas, and the power to squash anybody that tries to take their toys away from them. The only remedy is a combination of term limits and post-partum birth control for the terminally asshatted stupid.

#26 Old Patriot: I too, decry, the ruination of our state. Don't ya wish we would've said "git out and git gone!" twenty years ago? And I'm even a Boulder native. The Californians simply cannot learn our ways, and their ways suck. There's a lesson in there, somewhere, regarding the WOT, methinks.

#27 I asked my boss who's from Mass why the people there keep putting Teddy back in the senate and she hung her head and basically said because he has deep pockets and alot of power. And she's a liberal! She doesn't appear to be very proud of him.
