#1 A wealthy matron once confronted Winston Churchill at a party. "You are drunk, sir!" she accused.

"Madame," replied the Prime Minister, "you are correct. And you are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober..."

#2 Frank G -
and you sir, have the face, ethics, and brain of an ass, so there

Are you comparing "Senator Franky the Stand-in" with the character "Bottom" in Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream"

Truly, a peck of provender: I could munch your good dry oats. Methinks I have a great desire to a bottle of hay: good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.

#3 Seantor Frank disparages my good name, and as you know, Nancy Pelosi joins Barbara Boxer is bringing disrepute on our California. If Maxine Waters could get in this story it would be a trifecta of ignorant assholes

#4 I am hearing the audio of this from pompous ass himself on Hewitt. This is very instructive. It is worse than the text. I think Lautenburg is even breathing heavily. But it just might be his age.

He ought to go back to doing more things like this :

Bragging about provided pork for a new interstate onramp. Expensive but harmless to national security.

#5 You'd think that this old fart would be ashamed of himself for being the Dims' last minute stand-in (and not very legally at that) for the Torch in NJ and would just keep quiet, but nooooooo....

#6 As a Vietnam-era veteran, the father of a soldier currently serving in Iraq, and a native of Senator Lautenburg's esteemed state of New Jersey (Exit 9), I respectfully invite the honorable Senator to kiss my hairy white ass.

Jen : You say the Torch is a "fart"? look at the exit sign from the German autobahn! Very close. Look where he is standing! According to the translator on Google, the word ausfahrt means exit which is what Frankie the stand-in should do from the Seanate. It sounds as though senility is setting in.

#8 Oops Jen - Lautenberg is the "fart". Torch Toricelli is just a loser.

#9 Just heard some of Lautenberg's "remarks" -- he actually calls Vietnam Vets insane: "[something about those who weren't wounded]... You could see it in their [mental or emotional?] makeup..."

Unbelievable!

#10 Odd... I can't seem to find a transcript of his bleatings anywhere. Just a video, and, honestly, I can't stand to listen to his blather long enough to find the quote.

#11 Yeah - He's either drunk or forgot the Paxil for his dementia. That kind of stuff is downright cruel.

#12 Robert C. - Hewitt just played it. Hope you heard it.

#13 The Kerry campaign is imploding faster than I thought possible.

But, uh, does that mean Hill is about to appear?

#14 I always thought Chickenhawks killed and ate chickens. Does this make Kerry a chicken?

#15 The Iron Madam and Hubba Bubba are sittn' 'round the coffee table, in Chappequa, a-plottin and a-schemin.

The long knives of the DNC. Of course someone will have to be put up to the dirty work.

A phone call will be made. Bubba speaks. "Terry, I got you this job, buddy. You get rid of Kerry, and you stay for four more years. He stays, and I am powerless to protect you. He he he."

McAuliffe oblidges.

#16 What is becoming apparent to me is that the Donk Convention is gonna be a scream. I'm stocking up on popcorn, now...

#17 .com - Don't forget - It is in Boston. If the DNC dumps Kerry. How would you feel if a hometown boy was booted out in favor of the Iron Madam or the Sunny Sue-master from North Carolina.

#18 Big Ed - *snicker* How much more entertaining that would be, heh, however much less likely!

The implosion seems to be gathering momentum - so many of his campaign points dissolving right before the public's eyes, from unchallenged war-hero BS to "I'll go to the UN" UNSCAM... just awesome - even to the undecided, I'll wager. Have you ever seen anyone who is as snake-bitten as this assclown?

#19 Ah... here it is, thanks to Hugh Hewitt:

Where was Dick Cheney when that war was going on that had 58,235 young men died and many more wounded and many with wounds that were never visible. But you could see it in their emotional structure and the psychology of a war that everyone thinks in retrospect was misguided.

It kinda blends in with some blather about the war being a mistake, but I can't see any way to interpret that but Lautenberg re-playing the "Vietnam Vets is Nuts" myth.

#20 well, we don't want a nut as President, do we....I guess I agree with Lautenburg on that. The Torricelli Option looms! Pass the popcorn?

#21 BigEd, from what I hear, the local Boston media hates Kerry with a passion. They might actually enjoy him being dumped right before the convention.

#22 From what I hear, anyone who knows Kerry dislikes him

#23 On Rush's site he has a great segment where you can listen to the laut say this stuff. I heard bits and pieces of Rush today and had to check out the audio. Well worth it. Rush lays into these gusy with no mercy.

#24 The remarks were originally going to be delivered by John Corzine, but Lautenberg was asked to step in at the last minute.

#25 the local Boston media hates Kerry with a passion.

From a Masshole / long-time Kerry watcher, that's affirmative.
