Sen. Teddie Kennedy Speech - LIVE Thread! Gag Alert!

The Big Fat Guy | Jan. 14.2004 | Ted Kennedy

[Molly Pitcher]

Here he goes!

[CougarGA7]

So Kennedy says O'Neill says the Bush administration had plans for Iraq.

This is a ridiculous statement the Dems keep making. Of course we had an invasion plan for Iraq. We have an invasion plan for Canada. We have people at the Pentagon that all they do is create invasion plans for pretty much any country.

[Molly Pitcher]

No, Howlin, the speech is boring , boring, BORING!!

Don't know about that part of O'Neill's acct., if he's changed his story or not.

But Ol' Kennedy is on very shakey ground whatever O'Neill has said the past day or 2.

[StriperSniper]

I forget the venue, but this is some liberal think tank. John Podesta is the President and CEO.

KENNEDY: Sean, Ted Kennedy. Listen, when are you going to have me on your program? You have all these other people - I'm trying to get on that program and talk with you people.

HANNITY: Hey, Senator. Senator ...

KENNEDY: I want to have some fun. I want to answer some of these questions you got for us. I don't want any of these softballs that you give to all these other conservatives.

HANNITY: Oh yeah, right. Hey, Senator, I'll give $1,000 to your favorite charity if you'll come on my show for an hour one day. Do you accept it?

KENNEDY: Oh, that sounds like fun. We'll try to sort of do it but I'm [crosstalk] on that thing.

HANNITY: Oh, whoa, whoa - I'll give you $2,000 for an hour on the radio show.

KENNEDY: It's going up - I've got a $2,000 offer here. Well, listen, it was nice talking to you.

HANNITY: Well, Senator, can I - can I - wait, wait, wait, wait - I gotta ask you a question. Senator, you really tore into George W. Bush and called him a liar yesterday. And I'm going to be honest. I'm trying to be as gracious as I can be here, because I'm in Texas and that's the way people in Texas - Senator, that was beyond the pale. Senator ... [Crowd cheers]

KENNEDY: There you go. What I've taken issue with is the false assumption on which our policy towards Iraq has been developed. As you remember, we were told we were going to find nuclear weapons. We haven't. We were told that there were going to be the weapons of mass destruction. There haven't been. We were told that al-Qaeda was down in there. [Crowd boos]

KENNEDY: Well, they may not want to hear it but they haven't found it.

HANNITY: Senator, Senator, you called the president a liar.

KENNEDY: Now you listen to me, Sean. You may have it with other places but you don't interrupt me when I'm talking.

HANNITY: Oh, no, I couldn't do that.

KENNEDY: They said that we were going to have - be able to rebuild all of Iraq without having all of this money ... we're just voting $21 billion now of your taxpayers' money and just three months ago the administration said it was going to be all done and ...

HANNITY: That wasn't my question. Senator, you called the President of the United States of America a liar and I could never find one instance where you called Bill Clinton a liar. Why are you taking the rhetoric of debate in Washington to a new low?

KENNEDY: [Handing off the phone to Sen. Hutchison] ... I look forward to it and here she is now. [End of excerpt]

Moments later Hannity offered the Texas Republican $5,000 for her favorite charity if she could get Sen. Hillary Clinton to come to the phone.

Arrogant disrespect for the U.N.? YES!!!!!

[mass55th]

I was just about to turn the channel from Fox, and then they cut him off. One of his first claims is that this Administration disrespected the U.N. I guess the fat pig doesn't realize that the U.N. dissed themselves and all the men and women who died during Desert Storm/Shield by failing to enforce their own resolutions and letting Saddam have the upper hand for over 12 years. How anyone can have respect for an organization that does that is beyond me, but then the fat pig from Massachusetts has a misguided value system just like the U.N. How can you drive your car into the brink, not report the accident or the presence of a body in your vehicle to the police, and then hide out for hours while you concoct your story? I hope God shows no mercy when it comes to judging this puke on Judgement Day.

Hey Shamu: the reason Bush neglects talking about bin Laden is because he wants to! Drives ole Osama crazy! The more the US pretends that bin Laden is insignificant, the more it will cause him to get in the limelight and into the crosshairs. Get a clue dufus!

[Reagan Man]

Getting wacky?! Fat TeddyK is certified looney!

Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz... the axis of war. LOL

Senator you're making a bigger fool out of yourself then you've ever been. Complete and utter desperation!!!

[OXENinFLA]

KENNEDY: Now you listen to me, Sean. You may have it with other places but you don't interrupt me when I'm talking.

[OESY]

Bush never mentioned Osama, a threat to our national security. Hell, he also never mentioned me (Kennedy) after I forced severe cuts on the US military to pay for my entitlement programs.

Big time Bush bashing.

"I thought there were no plans -- for Afghanistan, Iraq, Saddam."

Glenn Beck commented on this yesterday. I was driving in my car and almost lost it; he was making me laugh so hard about the Dems first saying Bush had no plan and then now they're trying to say he had a plan all along. Their hypocrisy is so obvious. No wonder Bush is leading vs. Dean in California.

I think the Pres. knows the American people understand that when he talks about Global Terror it's a given that Osama's name is included.

[OXENinFLA]

I think he's drunk.

He is awake.

[Abynormal]

Yeah, Osama won't appear in a videotape... maybe because we blew his legs off, or he can't hide his catheter bag. He will be history in no time and then what are the windbags going to say?

[Petronski]

I think the 285-pound-mark is a speck in Teddy's rear view mirror.
