...which happened to be the year in which Edward Kennedy turned 30 and was therefore old enough to run for it.

Fancy that. A gift to the nation that keeps on giving.

Never mind...

Still, these are not headlines the Obama transition team wants.

Yes, they've shown time and again only praise and honor will be accepted - or tolerated.

The Kennedys did it so it must be OK.

“And Edward Kennedy has turned out to be an able and accomplished senator.”

I had to stop reading after that line. I was eating my breakfast and no garbage can was nearby to upchuck into.

What floats to the top in a sewer?
I’ll leave the answer as an exercise for the reader.

No, we’re supposed to believe that 0bama lived and thrived amongst the vile corruption of Chicago politics and never participated in any of it.

There is only one person EVER who has lived among sinners and never sinned. And this is the parallel the left has been trying to draw all along.

In order to be a supporter of Obama, (different from voting for him) you would have to be able to accept as truth, things that can easily be proven not to be true.
They sure wouldn’t have the logic to complete a connect the dots picture.

How could a pure as the driven snow Obama rise so fast in politics in a state where only those who are part of a very close knit corrupt political machine controls everything to do with politics. I guess you could maybe believe he is not corrupt if his close friends and associates did not include A convicted felon, an indicted governor, a domestic terrorist and three rabid leftist ministers.

If you think about it, what close associations does this man have that aren’t corrupt? Name one person he has had business or poltical dealings with that is known for their strong ethics.

Obomba will be the biggest disaster to hit this nation.

Having said that, I believe that Juan McLame would have been the biggest disaster to hit this nation.

Having said that, I believe that George W. Bush was a disaster with one exception: no 9/11s.

(Throw us two fishes, George: Campean and Ramos.)

significantly higher than George W. Bush or Bill Clinton got in their transition periods.

At this point in his transition, W was still waiting for the election to be finalized. If he had made any appointments, the press would have excoriated him.

— muted perhaps necessarily in the adversary environment of the campaign —

Puleeeeeze. Every time Obama pulled the race card, McCain crawled on his belly like a beaten dog. In fact, he spent most of the campaign crawling on his belly. Except when he, as Rush so aptly put it, stood around with that "Yosemite Sam stare after the bomb explodes" look on his face.

It’s no koinky dink that Caroline, and now Chris Kennedy (IL) are both being considered for senate seat appointments. Think about it. Who benefits most from Blago’s downfall, and his list of candidates for 0’s seat?

So, is it a taint, or a stain?

Why am I getting the feeling that Rham may be joining Grandma and Rev. Wright under the bus?
