'Bush lied' and the lying liars who perpetuate it

Sen. Ted Kennedy gave another one of his angry speeches this week. With all the gravitas he could muster, he recycled his standard complaint: that the Iraq war was never really about WMDs or the war on terror. It was a "political product" from "Day 1" of the president's administration.

This echoes Kennedy's earlier diatribes, like last fall when he said, "Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie."

Personally, I think Kennedy's an embarrassment to his party. But that doesn't change the fact that he's taken seriously or that he speaks for a large constituency. So let's try to deal with the "Kennedy School's" view of the Iraq war.

Why on earth does Bush ever cooperate with this shyster?

Did you know that the US Military took Iraq in less time than it took the Ted-ster to call the cops when he killed Mary Jo in his car?

Best case, W has has a reason.
Worst case, The Kennedy's have some dirt on W.

A party filled with rapeist,liars and killers. Boy I would be dam proud to be a Lieral.

Ted Kennedy's credibility has a name. It's Mary Joe Kapeckne. Ted's Mary Joe Kapeckne factor still remains at the bottom of a New England estuary.

There are singular events in some people's lives. When Fonda, "Hanoi Jane" trashed our nation from Hanoi and used our POWs as a backdrop to further her propagandist interests, she soiled herself forever. Ted did so when he ran from an auto accident not reporting it or turning himself in until the next morning. Sorry Mary Joe, some things are more important you know.

Ted, Jane, I personally have no use for either of you. Why don't you two marry and move to some European enclave where I'll never have to hear or see either of your digusting mugs again.

As for your attempt to sound a high moral tone Ted, you're about the only guy who still fails to realize what a tune your are.

A party filled with rapers,liars and killers. Boy I would be dam proud to be a Liberal.

What president Bush should do is invite Ted back to the Whitehouse, allow him to control more of his initiatives, and have his father give him another award. Then Ted will get with the New Tone.

[RaceBannon]

Hey, it worked the first time!

[My Dog Likes Me]

Jonah continues to waste his time and intellectual energy on easy liberal targets. Edward Kennedy has and will always say these things. What's the surprise here?

Truth be told, Goldberg comes from a wealthy, prominent family, and has more in common with Ted K. than he would like to admit. I'm not a shrink, but...

[Gritty]

we were told lie after lie after lie after lie

For a brief moment there, I thought I was reading the Legacy Wrapup for the clinton malAdministration. Then I saw Teddy Kennedy's name attached to the quote.

At that point, I realised Ole Uncle Keg Ted was just having another delerium tremors moment, flashbacking to his own arranged escape from prosecution after the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.

It's fun to watch obscene Liberals meltdown in Prime Time!

The only difference between Kennedy (and all the creeps that are running for Prez) and a bag of dog poo is the bag.
