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."
HEY, is that Kerry posing with the "Rosemobile"?
What the 'Rats do not seem to understand is that even if they somehow succeed in getting Rove out of the White House, nothing will change. Bush will still be able to pick up the phone and get Rove's advice any time he wants.
Ted's logic would lead one to the conclusion that if he were put under investigation, he'd resign.
When has even an indicted Democrat resigned? It's not part of their morality.
lol.....i was sorta thinking teddy fused the words consumed & submerged.......
Thanks....however, for some reason, your definition doesnt fit in context to what teddy said..... Maybe it's teddy......
I guess Teddy must have been in a drunken stupor for the eight years of the Clinton administration.

Well, better late than never. ;^)
My aching back! Does Teddy Boy Kennedy ever sober up and look realistically at anything but his empty bourbon bottles?
If I were him (perish forbid!), I wouldn't mention scandals.
On the other hand, if I were him, I'd hide my face from humanity and never say another word.
I very much appreciate all that effort you took to direct me towards the word, "subsume." Believe it or not, I am a college graduate but I never heard of it before.
You really didnt have to go to all that trouble.
I wont forget it...... LOL!
"...on your last legs."
Are they hollow?
"Thanks...however, for some reason, your definition doesn't fit in context to what Teddy said...Maybe it's Teddy..."
Why, of course it's Senator Kennedy. Give the man a break, though. It's a challenge to read a dictionary with double-vision. lol
Listen you drunk, You got away with murder, so STFU.
This man has the balls to talk about ethics and scandals.When is some Republican going to remind this man that he is nothing more than an obese drunken murdering no tax paying booger eating Piece of Massachusetts crap.
Remember this Teddy boy? You didn't clean the White House then, did you?
Either the best part of Ted Kennedy ran down his Daddy's leg, or at birth, they threw away the baby and kept the afterbirth. Either way, the Orca is a wasted piece of flesh.
Joe Kennedy probably lobotomized the wrong child.
