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."
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country."
I know what you can do for this country, LEAVE.
i was sorta thinking teddy fused the words consumed & submerged
Now that is funny.
[" Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?
Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty? "
~ Senator Ted Kennedy, 1973]
And this remark will no doubt go down in history as the most profound .
What a hypocrite, to put it nicely.
Well said.
Didn't he work for the law firm of Dipem, Disertem and Drownem at one point?
"I know what you can do for your country, LEAVE."
Does that you mean you want him to take his slow boat to China? That's not very neighborly of you!
LOL
Forget the boat, I want him on the next particle generator to China.
Hit the road Teddy!
Jeez, for a minute there I thougth I was reading an old post....I was looking for a 1999 date or there abouts!
This creature is a symbol of all that has gone wrong in America.

Its my belief that, now that John F.Kennedy Jr.is gone, Teddy Bare has no one left to live up to. He can be just as big a lying,drunken,traitorous SOB as he wants, without being unfavorably compared to his brothers or Jr.
"Forget the boat, I want him on the next particle generator to China."
Too bad Scotty isn't around to help you out with that. Here's an off question: Would you want your particles mingling with Ted Kennedy's?
Hey Ted, take a look at this site:

Pot calling the kettle black if there ever has been one...
OOOO....Nice work! :D
Kennedys aren't just stuck on stupid, they own the patent rights.
Kennedy talking about ethics is like an alligator discussing dental floss.
