Zip up your fly, Teddy, and don't wear a big yellow stripe in your tent, I mean bathing suit. The yellow stripe belongs running down your murdering back. Sober up and Shut up, Swimmer-boy.

Kennedy Questions Roberts on Civil Rights
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent 12 minutes ago
After days of Democratic deference to John Roberts, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (news, bio, voting record) said Thursday that documents made public to date indicate the Supreme Court nominee holds a "rather cramped view of the Voting Rights Act."
Materials that Roberts drafted while working at the Justice Department and White House counsel's office during the Reagan administration "certainly raise some questions in my mind about his commitment" to civil rights in general, added the Massachusetts Democrat.
While couched carefully, Kennedy's remarks showed a willingness to raise pointed questions at a time when most other Democrats have stuck to pleasantries about Roberts' academic and legal credentials while saying they look forward to confirmation hearings.
President Bush named Roberts last week to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and confirmation hearings are expected to begin either Aug. 29 or Sept. 6.
Officials in both parties said leaders of the Senate and the Judiciary Committee were striving for agreement on a timetable as well as a format. The White House and Senate Republicans are demanding a final confirmation vote before the Supreme Court convenes for its new term on Oct. 3.

cramped view = he probably believes that only U.S. citizens should be allowed to vote, er, I mean't have a drivers license (same thing, my bad).
Rather cramped in a car going over a bridge.
That's fair. Kennedy has a rather cramped view of leaving young women to die in his car on the way to an adulterous affair while he concocts a cover story...
[burp]
Here's why: Roberts is going to be confirmed. These games Schumer/Kennedy etc. play are done only to satisfy the pre$$ure they are getting from their leftist interest groups. Coupled with Dean, they alienate more and more normal democrats. Not a whole lot of party building going on. Meanwhile, Mehlman works under the radar....
Yeah, and what kind of voting rights are dead women left with.
Chappaquidick
Teddy: "Mr. Roberts, what is your position on .....?"
Roberts: "Chappaquidick"
"But how do you...."
"CHAPPAQUIDICK!"
It was rahther cramped in the trunk of the Tedster's DeSoto that night off Dyke Bridge.
Zip up your fly, Teddy, and don't wear a big yellow stripe in your tent, I mean bathing suit. The yellow stripe belongs running down your murdering back. Sober up and Shut up, Swimmer-boy.
If that is all fat boy has then stick a fork in him, he's done.
Ouch!! Quote of the day!
"That's fair. Kennedy has a rather cramped view of leaving young women to die in his car on the way to an adulterous affair while he concocts a cover story..."
Yeah! Speaking of destroying one's civil rights!!
We don't need your vote, Fatso.
A fork, are you kidding. A fork would get lost in the first folds of fat before it ever hit meat. You've got to gaff fat boy with at least a pitch fork to pull him off the barbie. Oh, I get it. You meant a forklift.
The snappy comebacks to that homicidal blowhard's bloviations just write themselves, don't they? Tell us, Teddy, just how cramped does it get in an Oldsmobile under water?
My preference would be for Mr Roberts to appear at the hearings wearing a neck-brace.
