Hey, that's not fair. The Senate has different standards from the House.

[agere_contra]

Superb.

“If Mary Jo Kopechne had lived, she would be 67 years old.
Through his tireless work as a legislator,
Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age
and they both would have supported dfu's confusion.”

Point well made doug from upland

[yellowdoghunter]

You had me going there for a minute. I was thinking, "where is this coming from Doug"? However, I quickly caught on and that is very clever of you. Puts things in perspective quite nice. Thank you.

[Petronski]

You just completely ***pfffffffft*** blew my mind!

[Bahbah]

LOL, you almost gave me a heart attack.

[Peach]

LOL.

The rules are different for Republicans, aren't they?

[prairiebreeze]

Not fair! Too early in the morning, not enough coffee....

[Petronski]

This needs your careful consideration.

"The Senate has different standards from the House."


Actually, I think that's true...kind of. Aren't senators supposed to be held to a little higher standard than representatives? A most "august" body, more circumspect, wiser, etc. Isn't that why they're elected for 6 years, versus just 2 for representatives.

Maybe I'm wrong; not unusual for moi.

The rules are different for Republicans, aren't they?

NO! It's just that we won't stand up against libs.

Most call it compassion. I call it being content.

[Obadiah]

Thanks for the post. SUPPORT TOM DELAY! Enough of the liberal attempt to destroy this good man. They have nothing on Tom DeLay except hatred. They hate the guy because he is a Republican with a backbone.

You make the choice. Do we support guys like Tom DeLay, or do we want a party of Chris Shays, Lincoln Chafees, etc.? Man, if that's not a sobering enough contrast I don't know what is.

[bigjoesaddle]

I hope you keep this going dfu, you can find enough hypocrisy from the Dem's to fill volumes!

[Norman Rogers]

There hasn't been a lot of public speculation as to why Teddy waited so long to report the incident.

The only reasonable explanation is that Teddy was obviously drunk and his handlers figured out that he'd be far better off taking the heat for a ridiculous story than to have a blood-alcohol test result in the public record. So Teddy "slept it off" while Mary Jo's parents waited in vain for word from their daughter. And the MSM protected him. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to put something like this past the blogsphere, today -- but I think we all shouldn't miss an opportunity to keep asking Teddy, "How much alcohol had you consumed before you got behind the wheel and killed poor Mary Jo?"

[kidd]

No, I agree with your original idea. DeLay MUST go.

After all, he was a local leader of a highly racist, terrorist organization. These terrorists would dress themselves in white sheets, threaten (and often murder) blacks, Catholics and Jews. Of course I speak of the Ku Klux Klan.

Wait...oh you mean that wasn't DeLay? That was Robert Bird, the Democrat Senator from West Virginia? Never mind. Since he's a democrat its ok.

[doug from upland]

Yes, I think this series will keep me busy.

[unkus]

Thanks doug.

MIDI - WHEN I'M 64

He had submerged her then ran away...many years ago
Charles Pierce knows Teddy still would be her friend...looked out for her right to the end
Please stop your laughing...give him a break...come on, it is true
He would have helped her...had he not killed her...when she's 62

We know Teddy would have saved her had he finished lifeguard training...that's well understood
Damn YMCA...they had their lifeguard program cut...and sent him away

He is a drunk and he is a slug...that is clear to all
He had lots of Scotch and emptied out the fridge...then went driving off of the bridge
Please stop your laughing...give him a break...come on, it is true
He would have helped her...had he not killed her...when she's 62

We know Teddy would have saved her had he finished lifeguard training...that's well understood
Damn YMCA...they had their lifeguard program cut...and sent him away

Yes, he is bloated and he is scum...tell us, what's the point
DemocRATS don't answer for crimes they commit...right wing whackos, get over it
Please stop your laughing...give him a break...come on, it is true
He would have helped her...had he not killed her...when she's 62
