Is Ted Kennedy the new "Baghdad Bob"?
Americans for Dr. Rice ^ | 06/24/05 | Richard Mason

Posted on 06/25/2005 7:01:30 PM PDT by condi4prez.com

We have received a number of requests for this graphic -- it isn't very well done -- but it makes a point. But feel free to use it and distribute it however you wish. It would be funny if there weren't alot of truth to it. It was posted on our website at Americans for Dr. Rice with the following:

One would think so after watching his continuing efforts to undermine the US War on Terror for his own political motives during yesterday's Senate testimony of Donald Rumsfeld, high ranking generals and DoD officials. He used the occasion as a platform to spew anti-US, anti-administration rhetoric. His comments almost immediately appeared on Arab networks throughout the Middle East as he threw out Vietnam-era hot-button terms like "quagmire". His comments probably were broadcast in time to encourage the suicide bombers that killed at least 5 Marines this morning in an attack on a convoy close to Fallujah. (The Senator may not see the connection here, but we certainly do.) By aiding our enemies, it appears that he is hoping to destroy the Bush Administration's credibility overseas and sabotage US foreign policy -- so ably crafted while Dr. Rice ran the NSC and now skillfully executed in the diplomatic arena by the State Department under her leadership. It's unfortunate that Ted has put on so many pounds in his later years, we're sure that "Baghdad Bob" (the former Information Minister under Saddam known for making outlandish claims of victory during the war) would be happy to lend him an old uniform for the next time he appears on camera. It would be much more appropriate attire for broadcasting anti-US propaganda in the future.

Notice the "Oldsmobile" tattoo on Teddy's left arm!"
That's the car he drove off the bridge on Martha's Vineyard.

Tell the truth now, Dick Cheney and Dennis Hastert both outweigh Teddy by at least 30 pounds. It always amazes me that the Veep has escaped another heart attack. Even the Big Fat Idiot could lecture Dick on how to keep his weight down.

I'm glad you had enough intestinal fortitude (during these dark days of Dubya) to respond. My main focus was on Unca Teddy's excesses. The question still remains (concentrate - PLEASE concentrate) -

...how much of our natural resources are being used so the bloated one can see a nice shot of the bay - or doesn't that really matter?

REALLY rich RATS need not respond...

Yes but can Baghdad Bob match this?

A Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi insurgent soldier, badly injured but conscious. Nearby, on the opposite side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state.

The injured Marine was conscious and alert. As first aid was given to both men, the Marine was asked what had happened.

He reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway, and coming south was that guy over there, heavily armed. Seeing each other, we both took cover immediately. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable low-life scumbag, and he yelled back that Teddy Kennedy is a rich, good-for-nothing, fat drunk.

"We were standing there in the middle of the road shaking hands when a truck hit us."

Now come on there are many people who can at least compete for the mostdisgustingidiotinthesenate spot :-). Personally my favourites are Mikulski, Boxer and Feingold.

We do have quite a list to choose from, don't we?

Oh, those boat pictures! {shudder!}

That's the stuff nightmares are made of.

Massachussetts loves to pass laws. Can't they pass one to outlaw that?

Teddy is fatter. BB's uniform is really way too small for him.
