Kennedy Voted 'Biggest Windbag' at Alito Hearings
Human Events Online ^ | 11 January 2006 | Robert B. Bluey

Posted on 01/10/2006 7:21:48 PM PST by Aussie Dasher

Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) was voted overwhelmingly the "biggest windbag" on the Judiciary Committee in yesterday's AlitoBlog.com poll.

With 500 votes cast, Kennedy received 69.6% of the vote -- far outpacing his nearest rival, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.), who finished with 18%. Sen. Joe Biden (D.-Del.), a likely presidential candidate in 2008, had 6.4% to finish third.

The committee's ranking Democrat, Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.), despite his prominent role during the hearings, placed fourth with 2.4%. Sen. Dianne Feinstein had 1.9% for a fifth-place finish.

The other two Democrats, Senators Herb Kohl (Wis.) and Russ Feingold (Wis.), received no votes.

Yesterday AlitoBlog.com asked readers: "Which Democratic senator was the biggest windbag at the Judiciary Committee's round of opening statements about Judge Samuel Alito?"

"Windbag" is one of Lard Ass's finer attributes!

Only 69.6 percent? But he worked so hard to try and get 75!

Did you hear Leahy today? He asked something really stupid, like "if the President commits murder, should he be immune from prosecution?"

Where do they come up with this stuff!

Teddy's no windbag. A "windbag" is a resuscitation device, isn't it?

Did you hear that pompous putty-butt refer to Alito as "Allioto?" Better than "Osama Obama." I guess.

Kennedy called the judge "Alioto."
Alito should have called him "Kenniady."

If it comes down to dying or being resuscitated by Windbag Kennedy, for the love of heaven, let me die!

He is unless one of two things happens: a) He consents to prosecution, or b) The Congress impeaches and removes him.

We ran into this same thing with Clinton and his many malfeasances. It is not the seriousness of the crimes, but rather his position controlling the mechanisms of prosecution that make his crimes "high crimes".
