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."

"Kennedys aren't just stuck on stupid, they own the patent rights."


Aside from "stuck on stupid" being the next cliche that will make my ears bleed from hearing it too often, I thought Joe Kennedy attempted to have "stupid" cut out.

Alas, he should have popped his own lid and taken the knife to himself. Although, in those days doctors didn't use scalpels to perform lobotomies...icepicks or screwdrivers were the preferred tools. That poor girl.

You call that a scandal, Teddy. There are no scandals in the White House now. This is a real scandal.
