Newsday is more sussinct. Teddy meltdown. Kerry endorses these statements to breakthrough the media clutter to put out his message. Too bad nobody is listening.

TED ALERT!!

[PeaceCorpsGuy]

Been out of the country for so long that I almost forgot that Teddy normally drinks everytime before going onto the Senate floor or giving an interview to the press.

[Susannah]

"Kennedy, a leader on health issues, said Bush, desperate to claim a win on Medicare, pushed a law that is a "raw" deal for seniors and a "sweetheart" deal for drug and insurance companies."

Kennedy's a "leader" on health issues and we still don't have the health care "crisis" solved? Meanwhile, which companies will get a "sweetheart deal" from what Kerry is peddling and how much will it cost taxpayers?

[river rat]

Ah yes.....This from that lying, drunken, famous "teller of truth", defender of pervert impeached president and protector of young women -- except those submerged in his car for hours before he reports the accident....

A pox on his ass..

Semper Fi

[jagrmeister]

Why are Ted Kennedy's comments newsworthy? The press covers his uninformed personal attacks as if a world leader had spoken. Kennedy is a far-left, corrupt politician who has accomplished next to nothing and has traded off his brother's famous name for far too long. A "leader on health issues"? More like an advocate of further confiscating income of working Americans for government boondoggles. I'm sure the Democrat-operated media agrees though.

ENRON CEO KEN LAY SAT ON HEINZ BOARD

Former Enron CEO Ken Lay Sat On A Heinz Board. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry regularly scorches the management of Enron, the scandal-ridden, bankrupt energy company founded by Kenneth Lay. [S]elf-styled muckraker Bernardo Issel of NonprofitWatch.org told us that the much-maligned Lay has been a longtime member of the board of trustees of the Heinz Center, an environmental group founded by the candidate's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. She's the group's vice chairman, and Lay left the small board earlier this year after serving for nearly a decade. (Lloyd Grove,The Reliable Source, The Washington Post, 6/27/03)

"Kennedy: Bush lied Mass. senator issues stinging rebuke that accuses president of deceiving the public, compares his actions to those of Richard Nixon"
"Newsday is more sussinct. Teddy meltdown. Kerry endorses these statements to breakthrough the media clutter to put out his message. Too bad nobody is listening."


Hillry is at it again, writing speeches for Old Teddy to give. The Nixon line gives away who wrote this.

[mombonn]

I just heard him calling Iraq President Bush's Viet Nam. I won't tell you what I muttered under my breath.

Message to Teddy from one fed up Massachusetts Republican:

Hey Chappaquidick Boy: Does your face hurt? 'Cause it's killing me!!!

[GeorgiaDawg]

Glad he picked a night where MAYBE 10,000 people watched..most were watching UConn lay waste to GT.

[Squat]

If Kennedy were a pig, we could use him as a WMD against the islamofacist.

[Milligan]

Kennedy was washed up a long time ago. An old drunken prune.

[Dave Olson]

Too bad nobody is listening.

I wish I could agree. Network broadcasts can be seen all over the world. So, you can bet your last dollar that people who intend to do this country harm are listening.

"This administration misled Congress, misled the public and misled even members of their own party about the cost of the Medicare bill," said Kennedy, a key supporter of Bush's Democratic rival Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. "Why? Because they knew the bill would never pass if the real cost was known and they believed victory was more important than honesty."

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the alternative Democrat plan for Medicare have a projected cost of over a trillion dollars or so? How come the Bush plan, which, even at the new projections, comes to half that, is being so criticized? What has Teddy, self proclaimed fighter for health care, done in his too long tenure as Senator?

Who is being honest now, Herr U-boat commander (S.S. Oldsmobile)?
