"We were remiss in not talking more directly about them – about the fundamental ideals that guide our progressive politics,"

Au contraire Senator, it is your progressive politics that have sent your party into the abyss! 62,028,719 Americans have told you so and those Americans are not interested in your Socialist ideas, they love their Republic and they unlike you, have respect for the Presidency of this nation.

Kennedy is another lifeless, clueless encumbrance dragging decent democrats down to the bottom once more. The DNC bloodlines have dried up with the same old faces, same old ideas and same old issues they did nothing about for 30 years or more! Progressive? Regressive is more like it!

When I heard excerpts of the senior balloon from MA's speech, this is EXACTLY the title I thought should be given to a essay analyzing it.

Feder's just the man to do it.

The people of Massachusetts must think so little of themselves that the best they think they deserve is a drunken lecher.

Kennedy perpetually surrounds himself with others who always agree with him. Tom Bethell calls this "the hive". Not only do they instinctively nod in agreement with any other member of the hive but they have their own shadow language through which they communicate with each other (e.g. poor = minority; neo-conservative= Jew). This unspoken language is called "the buzz". So in this bizarro world a reprobate, drunken skunk can be referred to as the conscience of the Democrat Party. It's easy when the only rule is that you hold to a leftist (I mean progressive) mindset. Vicious dictators are more admirable than Mother Theresa (Castro, Ortega, etc.). Draftdodgers are exemplary while American soldiers are baby-killers. Try it . It's fun. And zany, too.

I fervently hope the Democrats follow his prescription. Then, in 2008, they can hold their national nominating convention at the Denny’s in Hyannisport.

From Don's keyboard to God's ear :o)

I'm continually amased that the Dems offer up people like Kennedy and Clinton as bastions of morality - is this the cream of the Democratic party?

[Preachin']

That may be the best title I've ever see here on FR.

[VOYAGER]

Kennedy is an embittered parasitic old sot who does not know of what he speaks nor whereof he affirms!

[TruthWillWin]

Good headline.

Kennedy: "We were remiss in not talking more directly about them – about the fundamental ideals that guide our progressive politics..."

We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. -- C. S. Lewis

Kennedy, you don't speak for the American people; nor did Daschole---that's why he's gone. In fact, what really is American about you or your "progressive" cronies?

"This is the true conceit of the Democratic Party: While pushing policies that have Americans at each other’s throats, they insist that they are bringing us together."

Yes, the democratic party is synonymous with hypocrisy, as Ted Kennedy is synonymous with irrelevant.

[Casloy]

"Democrats may be in the minority in Congress, but we speak for the majority of Americans," Kennedy insisted in a speech last week.

As a staunch conservative Republican I will pray every night that the vast majority of Democrats listen to this tub of lard and believe everything he says. It's looking SOOOOOOOOO good for 2008.

Brilliant!

Home Run....
