Sen. Ted Kennedy blasted the Bush administration Sunday morning for "subsuming" the nation in "scandal after scandal," saying: "Clearly there has to be a cleaning of the White House."
Asked about reports Saturday that Bush ordered his staff to attend ethics training classes, Kennedy told NBC's "Meet the Press": "I think ethics has to be more than a class, doesn't it . . . Ethics has to be a much more basic and fundamental issue."
"Clearly there has to be a cleaning of the White House," Kennedy railed. "We have a damaged presidency and a tarnished White House . . . At a time when America should be reflecting its vision of where we want to stand in the world, what we want to do here at home - we are being subsumed by scandal after scandal."
The ethically challenged Democrat claimed the public is demanding that the administration be held to account.
"Whether it's Libby and the vice president's office, whether it's the investigations of Karl Rove, or whether it's the disaster over in Iraq or the failure of Katrina," Kennedy said, "the American people think that there should be an absolute cleaning of the house."
Asked who he thought should cleaned out, Kennedy said, "Certainly Karl Rove ought to leave."
When reminded by moderator Tim Russert, "He's not been charged with any crime," Kennedy replied: "He should leave, though. He's being investigated at this present time."
..."the American people think that there should be an absolute cleaning of the house."
He's right, we don't want any more obese drunks who drive women off of bridges and leave them to drown.
Ted needs to read this:

We also have a damaged and tarnished Oldsmobile.
Dream on you skitzo. Bush is the greatest president in the last 100 years.
"Glug, glug, glug"...(that's either the sound of a car filling up with water, or Ted filling up with Scotch)
Most gov't agencies have mandatory ethics training each calendar year. Just the fact they attended doesn't mean anything.
And as always, Mary Jo is unavailable for comment.
"For example, he almost always told his audiences and interviewers of an event he said he'd never forget: Marines in his unit shooting four Iraqi civilians in a red Kia automobile."
It was seared, SEARED!,in his memory. The only problem is, like Kerry's Cambodia experience, IT'S TOTALLY FALSE. It just proves how stupid the media is to have believed any of this cr*p.
Ans also a damaged and tarnished liver.
This creature is a symbol of all that has gone wrong in America.
Oops. Forgot to mention that the quote is from bnelson44's post at #2.

Hmmmmm? Mister Peabody fire up the wayback machine!
This is a joke, right?
Poor Teddy, still drinking too much while driving in the Oldsmobile.
Poor befuddled Teddy must think the Clintons are still in the WH.
This guy's remarks about everyone else's "scandalous activity" always remind me of what my Mother used to say to me about Teddy-Boy; "That's alot like the pot calling the kettle black, no?"
The media is anything but stupid. They heard what they wanted to hear and ran with it. The minor aspect of verifying the veracity of any of his stories never entered their mind.
