Kennedy is a curse on America.
Check this out:
From the Book Do As I Say:
Who knew that Teddy Kennedy owns a small oil company?
Or that Kennedy got legislation passed which gives tax breaks to small oil companies?
He is now, but fatboy won't here it
I just got home from yearly eye check up...Have I missed anything?
Ted Kennedy is a disgraceful, dishonest, disrespectful hypocrite. One reason Kennedy dislikes Judge Alito is that Judge Alito believes that no one is above the law. That view is in direct conflict with Kennedy's own track record.
I love the fact that he just said "i made an oversight"
about four times.
He just did in a polite way, telling kennedy he is full of sh*t.
They are STILL talking about this Vanguard thing?
I guess they are the new Haliburton....bwahahaha
Didn't miss anything. Leahy wasn't too bad; at least his tone was semi-respectful.
Kennedy still going after Vanguard.
Worse -- Kennedy is arguing that not putting it on the list was itself a violation of his promise, when the list does not force recusal, when he can recuse himself without it being on the list, and NO vanguard case came to him until 12 years later.
Alito has been trying to figure out why Vanguard was not on the list, and gave reasons why it might not have been on the list, and now Kennedy is suggesting that he was trying to lie and mislead the committee by providing possible explanations for what happened.
They can't attack him for the actual Vanguard case, because not only was their nothing ethical about him hearing the case, and not only was it a full decade after his promise, but when it was brought to his attention that it was a vanguard case, he actually DID RECUSE HIMSELF.
So instead he is being trashed for not having Vanguard on his list, suggesting that he purposely was trying to flout conflict rules when we all know he didn't.
"Even Kennedy is not this stupid"
Yes, I'm afraid he is. What a pompous, asinine, dishonest, low-life, disgraceful human being.
I think he just did that, but Kennedy isn't giving up anyway.
The Swimmer says he made his share of mistakes. Understatement of the year award!
Kennedy has a case of the shakes again.
Stunning......
Kennedy admits he's made more than his share of mistakes.
Leahy wass okay; Kennedy still trying to pin conflict of interest in Alito with Vanguard, I think. Mrs. Alito laughing at pre-dead Kennedy
he just said "we all make mistakes and I've made my share"
okay, a paperwork oversight is a little different than murder..
Kennedy on Vanguard again.. ...His voice is cracking....his demeanor is of a whipped puppy.
