WASHINGTON -- Ratcheting up his criticism of the war in Iraq, Senator Edward M. Kennedy accuses the Bush administration of telling "lie after lie after lie" to defend its policy in a fiery speech prepared for delivery today on the Senate floor.

[Jim Noble]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the George HW Bush Presidential Foundation Award Winner-Senator Edward Kennedy!

[Texas_Jarhead]

insane aint it

[ambrose]

Nice of Teddy to time the speech just as Bush will be going to SE Asia to lobby our allies for more assistance. Teddy seems intent on sabotaging this mission.

[Fenris6]

When will reporters demand specifics and details of all these allegations? If I had a media platform and denounced Dean as a child-molestor, how long would I last without submitting proof? Or even a ratioanl explanation of the charges?

[chicagolady]

Lie after lie after Lie,

Well you have to admit...Ted Kennedy is an expert on the subject!

[goldstategop]

Ted has repaid President Bush's kindness by pouring more gasoline on the flames of a relationship that's gone south. If you try to make nice-nice with liberals, expect to get burned. The President hasn't gotten a lot of mileage out of his so-called New Tone. And the Swimmer has made it very clear where he stands.

[LarryM]

This is a predictable consequence of Bush's appeasement of Kennedy. Bush made nice to Ted and look what he got. When will he understand that appeasement never works?

[Stultis]

Wrath of the Irrelevant!

[goldstategop]

Yep. And I'm still waiting for the President to fight back.

Isn't it amazing? While teddy the drunk "Ratcheting up his criticism of the war in Iraq, Senator Edward M. Kennedy accuses the Bush administration of telling "lie after lie after lie" to defend its policy in a fiery speech prepared for delivery today on the Senate floor."

Bush the first gives the drunk an award and money for booze.

One of the Maine Freepers in K-Port needs to drop by Walkers point and throw a little cold water in the face of the Presidents dad.

[samtheman]

The American Left has made it clear what side it's on in the war on terror.

The enemy of their enemy is their friend.

And the way they see it, George Bush is their enemy.

Which makes the terrorists their friends.

The American Left are traitors against America.

[2timothy3.16]

If I had a media platform and denounced Dean as a child-molestor, how long would I last without submitting proof? Or even a ratioanl explanation of the charges?

Dean did his OBGYN training at a planned parenthood abortion mill, that is all the proof any rational human being needs to know that Dean is a baby killer.

[leprechaun9]

The question that I want answered is "Which of the Kennedy offsprings was really in the car with Mary Jo?" The Great Whale from Taxachusetts was probably in a saloon with Sen Dudd from CT!

[Carthago delenda est]

Q. Why is Ted Kennedy a bad golfer?

A. He just can't drive over water.

[billorites]

Teddy's a mean drunk.

[JesseHousman]

...Edward M. Kennedy accuses the Bush administration of telling "lie after lie after lie"...

His legion of staffers write every word this bloated fool utters. (Anyone remember the excellent interview conducted by Roger Mudd?)

I wonder who dresses this unmitigated liar each morning and how much the dresser is paid? It couldn't be enough. Whoever it is must be tempted often to tie that windsor knot just a bit too tight.

A liberal fool once told me that the country needed people like Teddy in the senate for balance. Teddy tips the scales on the wrong side and it's unfortunate that other fools like Hatch stand with him.

[Russ]

The president maintains a 56% approval rating and a healthy lead in all the reelection polls despite not "fighting back". The liberals and the media have thrown just about everything they have at him with little effect. I think his present strategy is the right one. Let them act like spoiled brats and Bush act presidential.

[PROUDAMREP]

President Bush tried to bring to new tone to DC, but Kennedy and his ilk are just like the UN. They and the liberals of the WORLD do not want Bush to succeed. The would like another swinger like the last one we put in that office.

I just pray the American people will not be taken in by all these unsubstantiated claims, but I'm afraid we've become a nation of people who just listen to the spin.

[anoldafvet]

We tried appeasement and ignoring the terrorists and look what it got us. Bush has adopted the doctrine of "Pre-emption" and we are winning the first war on terror. Unfortunately, we are still following the doctrine of appeasement in our second war on terror, with our domestic terrorists (Democrats). If pre-emption worked once, why won't it work again?

[Terry Mross]

Clinton and the like had a strategy: Repeat the lies often along with the media's help and the lies will become truth. Now fatso ted accuses Bush of doing the same thing.

The only true statement fatso ted uttered was "We were told Irag would pay for the war". I don't understand why they're not paying for it. The rest were bold face lies. And the huge lie was about nuclear weapons. I never remember Bush saying Iraq had nuclear weapons. On top of that Bush can't say "nuclear", fatso. Can you say "Man the life boats! Mary jo's goind down!"
