I'd fly, repeat, fly back to D.C. to see this

Wouldn't you like to see Judge Alito and Chief Justice Roberts questioning the Democrat Senators to determine their qualifications for Public office? Just imagine matching the IQs of the Senators and the Judges!

The questions might go like this.............................

Judge Alito (JA): "Senator Kennedy, I see from your official resume that you attended Harvard University..."

Senator Kennedy (SK): "Yes, your honor, I certainly did."

JA: "Did you graduate?"

SK: "Your honor, I respectfully ask that you not pry into my personal life..."

JA: "Is it not true that you were expelled from Harvard for violating the honor code, to wit, you hired someone to take an exam for you?"

SK: "Mr. Chairman, I want to go on record that I disagree with this line of questioning. I ask the chair to order the Judge from asking questions about my private matters.."

Senator Specter, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee: "Answer the Judge's questions. He answered all of yours.."

JA: "Senator Kennedy, we have on hand a transcript of the session of the university's honor council attesting to your fraudulent examination and subsequent expulsion from the university..."

SK: "I have had all I can take of this line of unreasonable questioning. I am going to ask Al Gore how he managed to keep his early departure from Vanderbilt University Divinity School away from the eyes of you religious nuts..."

JA: "Wait, Senator Kennedy, I want to ask you about the 26 phone calls you made from a motel room the night Mary Jo Kopecne drowned in your car at Chappaquidik, when you said you were asleep all night..." [ Kennedy flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: "Chief Justice Roberts [CJR] will now interrogate Senator Biden [SB}, Democrat of Delaware..."

CJR: "Senator Biden, is it not true that you were expelled from law school for plagiarizing another student's work?"

SB: "Wait, Ted, I am going with you..." [ Biden flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: "Judge Alito will now interrogate Senator Feinstein, Democrat of California..."

JA: "Senator Feinstein [SF], why did you vote for the former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan of West Virginia [Robert Byrd] to be the Democrat Senate Majority Leader in 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1992?"

SF: "Wait, boys, I am going with you..." [Feinstein flees the hearing room ]

[ end of hearing ]

That would be appropriate!

Senator Kennedy, I want to ask you about the 26 phone calls you made from a motel room the night Mary Jo Kopecne drowned in your car at Chappaquidik, when you said you were asleep all night..."

Boy, I wonder how THAT ever got past the jury in 1969 ! [sarcasm off]

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Give "Sheets" credit; he saw the handwriting on the wall and voted for cloture and for confirmation.

'Course the fact that WVa. voted for Bush twice, and Sheets is up for reelection this year didn't hurt . . .

[righthand man]

Let me know when this happens I'll go with ya !

Ofcourse the're PINK elephants too !

[Wristpin]

"So...Senator Kennedy...It says here you did a tour in the Army and never made it past the rank of Private, were you ever sober?"

[RJL]

This would be worth flying to Washington DC to see!

Despite the "sarcasm off" notice, there are probably quite a few FReepers not old enough to remember what was going on while Kennedy was circling the wagons and Mary Jo drowned.

I think the thing that most saved the Swimmer is that our first lunar landing was hours away. The "incident" at Chappaquiddick was buried so deep in most newspapers that I didn't know about it until about three days afterwards.

The story does appear in the "MAN WALKS ON MOON" edition of the NY Times but only in the second section that day. The entire first section had to do with the moon landing. I'm no longer sure when I first looked at that Times story, but it was after I heard about the "incident" and wanted to see how the Times reported it.

You need to ask Di Fi about the 500M job her husband's construction company landed with the Federal Government in Iraq, without placing a bid?

I'd also like to ask Kerry how he can be a member of Congress when he had known ties to a communist country we were at war with?

Now, lets move on to Hillary. Aw, don't get me started. I'd be giving Justices Alito and Roberts questions for the RATS all day. :o)

[sgtbono2002]

Senator Kerry, who wrote the reports that won your purple hearts for you?

Wait a minute Ted I am leaving with you.

[jerry639]

I was around and can remember both events.

Senator Kennedy's legacy will be:
1. He is a fat drunk.
2. His treatment of Robert Bork.
3. Mary Jo being drowned

[DesignerChick]

Thanks for that tidbit. I never understood how that story didn't become the "trial of the century" that year.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Kopechne more than likely suffocated.

I can remember them both too. That wasn't my point. But thanks for playing.

I was around too. What I want to know is there some stupid rule that prevents some senator in a hearing saying I yield to the senator from chappaquidick?

Why is this not brought up in every conversation with this deadbeat? If it was mentioned each and every time maybe he'll just shut up.

Because it's a club. The Republicans are slime too. (Maybe you missed Slick Willie's "trial"?)
