Even Sen. Edward Kennedy doesn't think Kerry is worth his time. On Monday February 28th Kennedy presented the Distinguished American Award via the phone.
Kerry, now known as Mr. Irrelevant, did manage to make the news in Massachusetts, however the rest of the nation could care less. Yahoo didn't even bother with a story.
The skin might be "good" but lordy, she's torturing the heck out of it.
Silicon Valley, March 5 : An American anti-offshoring advocacy group has awarded its first 'Weasel Award of 2005' to Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton for her recent remarks supporting outsourcing. The Delaware-based IT Professionals Association of America (ITPAA) representing over 1,200 IT professionals nationwide, said on its Web site that it presented this award to business and political leaders that it believes "betray the trust of the American people".
Scott Kirwin, founder of the organization claimed that people were "tired of Democrats pretending they care about the problems facing average Americans. Senator Clinton's actions prove they clearly do not." The ITPAA based its award on press reports of Hilary Clinton supporting outsourcing and assuring political and business leaders in India that the US would not attempt to save the jobs lost.... full story
Is the trophy a golden weasel eating waffles?
FWIW
Kennedy Endorses Kerry for 2008
Sen. Ted Kennedy has already announced his pick for the 2008 presidential race, and it's the same candidate he backed in 2004.
Asked if he'd be climbing aboard the Hillary Clinton bandwagon, Kennedy told ABC's "This Week": "I'm from Massachusetts. And we have a candidate, I think, probably up there as well."
Asked specifically if Sen. John Kerry had his support for 2008, Kennedy said, "Oh, yes . . My Man's John Kerry."
And what about Mrs. Clinton?
"I have enormous respect for Sen. Clinton," Kennedy said. "I admire her, I respect her. She's qualified for whatever job she achieves."

Must be freezing over down in the nether regions today.
What hotels have you used in Paris?
Hotel Cluny Square (5th - super cheapo when I stayed there in 1983 but since has been updated greatly), Grand Hotel Leveque (7th - twice), Hotel Lyon Bastille (12th) and a youth hostel near Bastille.
She is everywhere lately.
....the annual 'Congressional Breakfast' organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council in New York Sunday, March, 6, 2005
Or, as Her Heineyness prefers to say, the F'in Jew Bastards Community blahblahblah.
In Martyrs' Square [Lebanon], the scene of many demonstrations in recent weeks, thousands of protesters came Saturday morning to watch a broadcast of Mr. Assad's speech on projection screens, at times booing and jeering, or calling "Liar!" and "Bush sends his greetings!"Heh. I would love to have been at the editors' desk when that copy came in.The protesters, many dressed in white, waved Lebanese flags and called for "freedom, sovereignty and independence."
The heel of the USA crushing....the U.N.!!! LOL!
And the poor planning on the printing....
A pro-UN blog. That's pitiful. OTH, maybe they printed the posters for Baby Assad's demonstrators! [see above] LOL!At the U.N., 'beating a wave with a hammer'
Ted Turner 's $1 billion U.N. Foundation, formed to support the United Nations and fund do-gooder projects, is screaming "enough already" at conservative and media critics of the scandals at the world body. Fueled by the oil-for-food controversy, U.N. bashers have been pounding the New York City-based organization, and now Turner's group is helping the U.N. fight back. "The foundation," says spokeswoman Debra DeShong, "is getting the truth out." And it's doing that on the critics' turf: Internet blogs. "This is the newest and most influential media, and the right wing really does it well," she says. "It's like beating back a wave with a hammer."But hammering away they are, with the blog www.undispatch.com, Internet ads, and now a campaign to get U.N. backers on radio and TV to debate the critics. "We're acting like a real campaign to talk up the United Nations," says DeShong. The bashers aren't backing off. "A pro-U.N. blog?" asks Jed Babbin, pundit and author of the anti-U.N. Inside the Asylum. "I'm surprised it isn't in French."
Democrats Disunited:
SEN. Chuck Schumer made a not-so-subtle dig against his colleague Sen. Hillary Clinton Friday at a town hall-type meeting at Pace University on the subject of Social Security. Pace President David Caputo introduced Sens. Harry Reid, Frank Lautenberg, Richard Durbin, and John Kerry — and noted the Pace stage had been used last year for a debate between all the Democratic presidential candidates. "In fact, one of them became the Democratic nominee," Caputo said. "Perhaps one of the senators on this stage today will become the Democratic presidential nominee in 2008." Though Caputo was clearly referring to Hillary, Schumer made a pronounced gesture pointing at Kerry, who looked embarrassed. Hillary looked straight ahead. (Page Six)
That's a shame.
NEW YORK Senator Hillary Clinton says the Bush administration's policy of withholding aid from overseas groups that perform abortions is hurting women and forcing clinics to close. Clinton spoke yesterday at a New York University forum to mark the 10th anniversary of the United Nations' fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. She said 20 million women worldwide risk unsafe abortions every year, 68-thousand die and many more are injured.
President Bush reinstituted the so-called global gag rule when he took office. Under the rule, overseas non-governmental organizations that perform abortions or advocate the legalization of abortion are ineligible for U-S government money.
Bush opposes abortion except in cases of rape or incest or when pregnancy endangers a woman's life. AP story
The intimate gathering at a private home in Corning, N.Y., was pretty typical for an upstate fund-raiser featuring Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: dozens of donors clustered in the terrace, listening to her speak, as they sipped wine and nibbled on hors d'oeuvres. But one thing made the event unusual: The host was a prominent Republican businessman whose brother Amo Houghton was the popular nine-term Republican congressman from the area who, it turns out, gives Mrs. Clinton, a Democrat, an "A-plus" for the job she is doing.
His brother James, chairman of Corning Inc., agreed. "When I introduced Hillary, I told the crowd that the last time a Houghton had a fund-raiser for a Democrat was about 1812," he said.
With her 2006 re-election campaign approaching, New York Republican leaders vow to rally party loyalists in a broad effort to topple Mrs. Clinton, who has long engendered deep antipathy on the right.
But as the fund-raiser last year in the heavily Republican town of Corning illustrated, the party may have a bit of a problem on its hands. In the four years since taking office, Mrs. Clinton has managed to cultivate a bipartisan, above-the-fray image that has made her a surprisingly welcome figure in some New York Republican circles, even as she remains exceedingly popular with her liberal base. ...

Hmmm....the big boys in the Senate taking shots at the Beast, however subtle, is interesting...This could be fun to watch.....
I have enormous respect for Sen. Clinton. I admire and respect her. She's qualified for the job, but my man is John Kerry.''
I loved her statement "When I put out, I put out"...
Hillary's attempts to appear a moderate may backfire among the party elite, not to mention its base of whacko Marxists.
Kerry still maintains that his being a war hero and a war protestor gets him votes from both sides; Hillary thinks she can draw from both sides with selected issues. Maybe she is thinking her thesis (unreleased as is Kerry's 180) will satisfy the Marxists?
Didn't work for Kerry but evidently did not deter his ambition to be elected Prez.
It's killin' them I tell ya! Ahahahaha!!
Were you able to read your BotW from March 2nd? Taranto transcribed Nancy Soderberg's appearance from the March 1st Daily Show with Jon Stewart. As Taranto says, he hardly ever watches the show but was glad he did that night. Me TOO! I couldn't believe my ears. There was Stewart and Soderberg lamenting about how things are going so well in the ME and could, Bush have been right?!
If you haven't been experiencing shadenfraude during the period after Jan. 30th you will now! It's almost like Rush wrote their script!!!
It was soooo good I had to make a thread and share it with the forum. The BotW transcript of the show is at post #30!! A must read!!
