None dare call it treason (Ted Kennedy)
The Washington Times ^ | January 27, 2005 | Fran Coombs, Managing Editor

Posted on 01/27/2005 12:34:52 PM PST by rightalien

For many Americans Sen. Ted Kennedy has long been a caricature of liberal elitism, the bloated shell of what once was the youthful beauty of change. He has long lost the ability to shock with his antics, whether it's his questionable private behavior, returning the outreach of the Bush family with cheap shots galore or playing so loose with the facts in his public pronouncements that Jane Fonda looks like an intellectual heavyweight by comparison.

But wait, there's fire in the old warhorse yet. In a speech in Washington today, Mr. Kennedy became the first senator to call for the early withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Drawing a parallel with the Vietnam war (why is it that liberals are so hot to champion U.S. failure?), he declared that "the U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution. We need a new plan that sets fair and realistic goals for self-government in Iraq, and works with the Iraqi government on a specific timetable for the honorable homecoming of our forces."

Is there any way the case of the death of Mary Jo Koepeckne can be reopened?

Sure, just elect a Republican DA and Republican Judges for the jurisdiction.

I knew he had a drinking problem, but cheap shots? How sad. He could afford the good stuff.

If it can be shown to be murder it can. No time limit!
