WASHINGTON - Ted Kennedy did more than welcome Barack Obama into the warm embrace of his legendary family. He also consigned the Clintons and their brass-knuckle brand of politics to the past.
"With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion," the Massachusetts senator said Monday in endorsing Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. "With Barack Obama, we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group, and straight against gay."
In an eloquent speech laced with stinging subtleties, Kennedy called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton a friend who "has been in the forefront of issues." But he might as well have called her a "has-been" — a legacy of 1990s-style politics that rewards distortion, cynicism, self-aggrandizement and even failure
Why doesn’t he take her/it for a ride in his car? He could finally do something nice for America.
Gee, that’s good. Which party invented the “old politics”?
{/rhetorical question}
With OsamaBama, Hitlary and Edwards, they’re going to get lack of conviction on issues, no ideas, and no experience with Economics and International affairs....GULP.
Throw a couple of beers in him and she will look like Vanna White.
Old time ‘rats are fleeing the good ship Clinton. Fun to watch.
I wonder what the Clintons will come up with next to try and slime Obama and make themselves look Presidential.
Ted knows he can pull more strings with Obama than he can with the Clintons.
Maybe his pal McLame wants to hitch a ride too.
Paybacks for John Kennedy Jr.s plane crash...
Hillary wanted the Senate Seat in New York
and Handsome Future Son just had to die.
GO GET HER, TED!!!!!
The Clinton’s are experts at “The Politics Of Personal Destruction”...
I hope mr. Obama has updated his Kevlar, especially since REZKO’s arrest this morning...
Her fellow Senators must really abhor her.
Get the popcorn...this is gonna be fun
And his nephew Skakel could take Bill for a round of golf.
but what about the clinton record on the economy? democrats are throwing it all away
BURRRRPPPPPPPP!!
“Ted knows he can pull more strings with Obama than he can with the Clintons.”
And there it is, in a nutshell.
All of that’s ok so long as they are playing the Republicans. But this is Uncle old-blood Teddy saying, stop triangulating on mah turf - you beotch!
How can he do that? That's 80% of their platform. Other than gay rights and class warfare they wouldn't have any issues left.
Come on now. That’s not right. JFK Jr., God rest his soul, was an inexperienced pilot flying without his instructor. He left NYC for Hyannis after checking a weather report that turned out to not be right. There was a heavy for, which any pilot can tell you will make a young pilot disoriented. Let’s be careful what we post.
Cheers.
