I wish this boozing, arrogant, murdering, self-serving, molester of women, loud mouth, lying, senile blow-hard would just shut up.

I was just thinking that myself. Every time I see Ted Kennedy on TV or hear him on the radio, I always think to myself, to paraphrase the famous Country and Western song, It's Happy Hour somewhere.

Have another drink, Teddy, and a few more burgers. Nobody's paying any attention to you; so you might as well stop running your mouth and use it for what you do best.

The Rhineland Campaign, 1945

The Hard Winter

On New Year's Day 1945, eight German divisions attacked south out of the Saar attempting to trap Eisenhower's thinned-out flank in Alsace. In the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge was at its height. During the next few days the fighting around Bastogne was as bitter as any since D-day. On the other hand, as for getting to his strategic objective, Antwerp, or anywhere near it, Hitler no longer had a chance. His chief of the Army General Staff, Generaloberst Heinz Guderian, had told him as much at Christmas and had also told him that the Russians along the Vistula were ready to unloose their most powerful offensive of the war. Calling the report on the Russians a colossal bluff, however, Hitler ref used for a week to concede that the breakthrough to Antwerp could not be made. He then waited five more days before taking his spearhead force, Sixth Panzer Army, out of the front in the Ardennes, and took another week making up his mind to dismantle the rest of the buildup in the Bulge.

The Battle of the Bulge...Bastogne...

Some of the toughest fighting in WWII.

This is when a Ted Kennedy would have been calling for the withdrawal of US troops from Germany.

Of course, we entered Berlin a few months later.

The fighting gets tougher as the enemy becomes aware of their imminent defeat.

I'll leave it up to the individual to figure out whether that last sentence was referring to the terrorists in Iraq, the terrorists in the US government, or both.

Is anyone really sure that it was ROSEMARY Kennedy that got the lobotomy per Papa Joe?

Oh wait, the lobotomy was supposed to curb excessive and embarassing sexual behavior.

It obviously wasn't Fat Teddy who went under the ice pick, so we can only conclude that it was the Chivas Regal over his corn flakes each morning that has finally dissolved his brain.

Take your pick the things Kennedy said are stupid, frightening, traitorous - OK I guess all three. I'll add horribly immoral. Someone I know loves to repeat taht liberals are despicable people. Ted Kennedy knows he is calling for an Iraq that will collapse into civil war, tens of thousands killed, and then some tyranny will emertge in which people are imprisoned and tortured. At that point his "concern" for Iraq will end.

Thanks kattracks. Sounds like the swimmer is up to his Vietnam rhetroic. These professtional politicians of the democrat stripe have been stuck in Vietnam era thinking for over 30 years and today they are repeating the same words.

This joker talks about Vietnam almost as much as the Junior Senator from Massachusetts.

It was his brother who got us into Vietnam IIRC.

Kennedy is old and following Kerry's loss, he is virtually toothless. He has a bit of money he can throw around, and he has some retribution he might be able to exact, but I think even his own party knows that he's a has-been.

In short, who cares what Kennedy thinks except his remaining few parasitic groupies.

Does anyone know what sort of military background, if any, Ted Kennedy has? The dems leaned pretty heavily on Kerry's shaky Vietnam service in the last election cycle, basing Kerry's foreign policy expertise on his limited overseas duty (which, such as it is, should be honored). When, where and in what service did Kennedy serve? What are his foreign policy credentials? I'm not saying he doesn't have any, I just don't know. Anyone?
