"I certainly don't want to see Teddy Kennedy in a Navy flight suit."

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay used that image in a speech last week as he accused Democrats of a lack of leadership on national security. His joke at the expense of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., touched off a verbal war Friday.

The only thing worse than seeing Teddy Kennedy in a flight sight would be seeing Teddy Kennedy naked. blech

[Paul Atreides]

Mind you, these are the same Dims who accuse the President of being a liar and all Republicans of wanting to destroy the world.

Where is their outrage over the DNC ad, clipping part of the "16 words" so as to give the statement a totally different meaning?

When did that fat secretary killer serve in the Army? I certainly don't remember hearing about his tour of duty. The only thing he ever served was a drink, to himself.

[Guyin4Os]

I don't wanna see Teddy Kennedy at the controls of *any* vehicle.

[judicial meanz]

Tedddy Kennedy in a flight suit would remind me of a drunk Michelin tire man who went to a surplus store.

[trustandobey]

It is so very refreshing to hear a Republican make a wise remark and I for one would love to hear more!

[Joe Boucher]

Teddy landing that jet on a carrier? He can't even drive a car across a bridge.

Now, I wouldn't mind seeing Ann Coulter in a flight suit.

Or a wet suit, for that matter...

A whale in a flight suit:

His career as an Ordnance officer was cut short when, tragically, during the Vietnam Era, he was selected to test Buick's submission for the submersible riverine watercraft contract.

Birthday suit?

Me - I'd settle for a wet T-Shirt! ;-)

I'd prefer to see Ann wearing nothing but "wet" in the privacy of my home.

I think that Kerry, Cleland, and Kennedy are a pack of sick scumbags. Their active support for the Democrat agenda of destroying traditional America and its families has done significant damage to our nation. Their actions as legislators erase whtever credit they may have once deserved for their military service.

DeLay, on the other hand, has done what he can to support traditional America and its families.

How clever of Delay to use a flightsuit image, and how very stupid for Dims to complain about it!

It only keeps this image in the minds of the American people.......and thus helps the reelection campaign of Commander in Chief, George W. Bush.......

Kennedy's of any sort should not be allowed to operate equipment of any kind (especially near water). Just look at the Kennedy record:

Sea: JFK parks his boat in front of a Jap destroyer, resulting in the death or injury of most of his crew.

Land/Sea: Teddy drives car into shallow water and manages to save self while letting girlfriend drown.

Air: JFK Junior decides to go flying in bad weather and crashes ocean.

If Teddy ever tried to land a plane on a carrier he'd probably crash it, sink the carrier, and be the only survivor.

"To try to gauge just how out of touch the Democrat leadership is on the war on terror, just close your eyes and try to imagine Ted Kennedy landing that Navy jet on the deck of that aircraft carrier,"

A C-5B is the only thing that can get his fat ass off the ground, and there is no way a C-5B could land on a carrier!

[Athelas]

Teddy in a Flight Suit? BARF!

They'd have to get one made. I'd rather not see that thank you.
