HYPOCRITIC OATH Kennedy's record: Tale of 2 Teddies 2005: Answer the questions 1967: Nominees could 'defer'

Judge John Roberts

When it comes to insisting Supreme Court nominees discuss how they would rule on future cases, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., has apparently done a philosophical U-turn.

The senator has been vocal recently about President Bush's nominee John Roberts, saying the federal judge "will be expected to answer fully" any questions about his views on controversial issues; but the Democrat sang a different tune in 1967, when he noted that candidates should "defer any comments" on such matters.

I'm surprised they had to go as far back as 1967 to find an example of Kennedy's hypocrisy. Surely there are some more current.

This can be pointed out in this venue every day, but this must be thrown in his face by fellow Senators before cameras. Every time he opens his month Orin Hatch has to counter with his own words and ask for an explanation.

I seem to remember that Hatch and Kennedy are actually good friends. Therefore, I don't expect to ever see that happen. Hatch is too much of a gentleman.

You know, I use to think "how dumb are these Liberals to think they can say one thing and then years later say the opposite". But, guess what, no one questions them on it so I guess they aren't as dumb as I give them credit for.

Yesterday I received a call from the RNC seeking donations. The guy started with $75.00 and I got a little nasty when I told him I won't give one thin dime until the Republicans (who are the majority) start setting the agenda in this country. He kept lowering the amount until he got down to $25.00 and I told him I would consider contributing once the people we gave the majority to grew some balls.

I mentioned that all I said would fall on deft ears but he said it would be heard because they tape all the calls.

The guy from the RNC also mentioned that he has heard a lot of what I said from other people.

Teddy's daddy was a bootlegging, womanizing, partner of the mafia, bribing, sire of bastards crook, who had offspring remarkably similar to himself.

"...they tape all the calls."---I'm sure they do. And then they send them to Ken Mehlman, Denny Hastert, Tom DeLay, Bill Frist and George and Barbara Bush who listen to them in their leisure time. Good for you. I would have said the same thing. When my congressman calls asking for money, I tell his people to tell him that will happen about the time pigs fly and he stops being a RINO. He just showed his spine by caving in on this MTBE business. Everybody here in NH is ripping mad at him. He deserves it.

I am so glad that we will be winning this years "Miss Manners" award.
