Ted Kennedy: White House 'Tarnished' by 'Scandal after Scandal'

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."

"Joe Kennedy probably lobotomized the wrong child."

Although it was horrible of Joe Kennedy to do to his daughter what he did, she was spared the experience of living life with the clan. I would think she is happy in her current surroundings. Unless Senator Kennedy has a change of heart, he may not think his surroundings are so hot. Then again...

Teddy, the only scandals in the White House are the imaginary scandals inside that quagmire between your ears. This is just more disinformation from the Hildabeast and her attack dogs in the senate.

Teddy spouting pff !!!

It's no the booze eating away at his soul-it's the unrepented murder of a young girl he used and then killed.

"We also have a damaged and tarnished Oldsmobile."


Hilarious!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! But... Would you say the White House is DROWNING in scandal, Ted?

[BenLurkin]

What scandals?

[Anselma]

Ditto. Make that the last 137 years, approx.

[SmoothTalker]

Perhaps I should reconsider some of my past statements in support of the administration. Teddy is now saying this is a scandal filled white house. Afterall, Teddy knows scandal like few others.

Bush is the greatest president in the last 100 years.

AMEN, far outshining either Jimma or Buhba

"Poor Teddy ..."

Indeed. The original Trust Fund Baby.

"The original trust fund baby."

Is that why he likes bottles?

"... billions of your brain cells,but it's also eaten away at your soul (assuming that you ever had one)."


Yeees! Now if only it would it eat away at his Bay State poll numbers. What is WRONG with those Massachusians, anyway?

Ted the Courageous is in the process of flying up his own very considerable arsehole in his attempt to 'get even' for the fact that Bent Willie Blythe and his co-conspirators were exposed as being the most corrupt administration in our history.

[Anselma]

"Surely Mssrs. Kennedy and Russert know that it's a requirement laid on by Congress. What a couple of pants loads."


So THAT's where Ted's been hiding his brains. Russert is smart, though, despite the fact he was a Senate toadie for Tip O'Neal (or was that Chris Matthews?). Amazing how many Dem "players" wound up in MLM. I tend to get them confused, they are so much alike.

Ohn did you learn something after having plagiarized your way through school Teddy Bare?

Anybody got the graphic of the pot calling the kettle black?

[Anselma]

Great pix!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ted, call your wife- you left your mansierre on the bedpost.

[Wacka]

I can't believe it, but Tim got Ted. He read a quote about the Iraq war and asked Ted if those are the kind of statements for which Bush should be investigated. He said yes. Ted needed to do his homework. The quote was from Kerry and Tim had him. He was off his game for the rest of the show. The new Demo line is:" We said it, but we were to dumb to know it wasn't true."

Looks like Russert is copying Hannity. Sean has been doing this for ages.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kennedy, and the democrats, having been revealed as totally bereft of any decency and morality, now try to invert perceptions using their pruient reputation to define the Bush administration. Well, Kennedy, it won't work these days. We know what you are thinking before you think it. You are a liar and a murderer and there is not not centilla of character in you or your party.

Remember when the dems were tagged as being the party without moral values. Then they begin a clattering campaign to 'redefine' morality. Then they try to ascribe their moral vacuuity to the Bush Administration. They try to invert truth. They are absolutely shameless.

Same trick, different inning.
