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 only scandel of this white house is the one with Libby or did I miss something? The press have tried to tie Bush to everthing but if you break it all down, only one white house connection was with Libby.
Department of the Army civilians just finished their annual cycle on ethics training. Surely Mssrs. Kennedy & Russert know that it's a requirement laid on by Congress. What a couple of pants loads.
?
Pot kettle black? Neurons finally overwhelmed by decades of alcohol abuse? Just plain evil? I have no conception of what's going on in this guy's head at all. Considering the power he weilds that's rather frightening. Any chance he'd ever be voted out of office? I heard a black conservative wants to take him on.
And how is it a scandal really? That Libby lied to a grand jury has yet to be proven in court.

One of the local talk hosts in Boston routinely makes reference to Teddy and the "Rosemobile" (apparently,the car belonged to his mother).
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."
We have 40 hours of mandatory training each year. Mostly are the same courses, ie first aid, CPR, communicable diseases, top driver, ethics, etc.
Why are there people who still cannot see through the hypocrisy of the left?
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Ted.
This would be a perfect "Caption This Photo" Thread, wouldn't it? Here's Mine:

A classic case of "Wet Brain"
Do you really think so? I'd have to vote Reagan.
