"This country deserves more patriots like Senator Kennedy,

Gag...retch...puke. Socialized medicine, anti-gun Nazi...yes, what a patriot. Barf. Vomit. Three cheers for The Drowner.

I hear some calling registered if he still is on board.

[Spok]

I've always enjoyed the conservative sense of humor, and the fact that we can laugh at nearly anything. Whenever GW is speaking, my kids are always waiting for me to jump up and yell 'FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, GEORGE, IT'S NEW-KLEE-YER!'.

[Doe Eyes]

Delay shows the leadership most in this country are longing for. This is a real step forward for the Republican party.

[Luis Gonzalez]

As long as I don't have to see him in one of these.

Kennedy served in the Army.

FOR WHICH SIDE?

[ladyinred]

Oh PLEESE rats! All of the nasty things they say about republicans and no one can say anything remotely true about them without being called mean spirited! The democrats are the nastiest, meanest bunch of critters on earth these days ranking second only to the terrorists. SAY THAT to them Mr. Delay, and don't even think about apologizing!

[sarasmom]

"tasteless and unnecessary smear of Senator Kennedy."

I was not aware this was a possible offense.

[potlatch]

LOL, pretty darn funny if you ask me!!

[Vesuvian]

Served in the Army? I thought he was in the Navy, in the Silent Service....

[Arpege92]

Didn't they use Kennedy as one of the ballons in the Thanksgiving day parade?

[victim soul]

Delay's spokesman said and it bears repeating:

"The Democratic party has a lot to answer for in terms of their decimating our intelligence and not being there for our military and our national defense," he said.

"The military veterans in Congress, he said, don't have exclusive rights to opinions on national security."

"Former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, also a Democrat and Vietnam veteran, chastised DeLay in a letter Friday for his "tasteless and unnecessary smear of Senator Kennedy."

Isn't this the same Bob Kerry that in the vote on the Clintoooon Budget and Tax increase of 1993 said that, "This Budget is bad for the American people, but I will not give my vote to the other side of the aisle to BRING DOWN MY PRESIDENT?"

He left that task to Monica!

By voting for the Budget and Tax Increase, he set up the tie vote that allowed Al Bore to cast the deciding vote!

And so TED KENNEDY was the BUTT Of a joke.. so WHAT is the BIG DEAL besides TED Kennedy's BUTT??

Sheesh.. if the BUTT fits.. you must ACQUIT!!!

[TigersEye]

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, also a Democrat and Vietnam veteran, chastised DeLay in a letter Friday for his "tasteless and unnecessary smear of Senator Kennedy."

How could anything said of Ole Kennedy be tasteless, unnecessary or a smear? If John and Bobby were alive they'd probably say worse.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Democrats take themselves WAY too seriously to ever be able to laugh at themselves. Jerks.

My own favorite "Kennedy moment" - during the Clarence Thomas / Anita Hill hearings - after the Judiciary committee meetings were done and the full Senate was debating just before taking the final vote ---

[Teddy]: "Shame on you! [referring to GOP Senators on Judiciary Comm.] Shame! Shame on you for the way you treated that poor woman." [i.e. for cross examining Anita Hill and not automaticaly accepting her testimony at 100% full face value]

[Orrin Hatch]: "First of all, we Republicans don't need lectures on ethics from the Senator from Massachusetts. Secondly, if anyone out there thinks that it's Republicans who treat women badly, I've got a bridge in Massachusetts I'd like to sell them!"

[dalereed]

I wouldn't mind him in a "flight suit" as long as it was orange and being shot at while trying to get over the fence!

[Libloather]

"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," DeLay, R-Texas, told a group of college Republicans. "I don't know about you, I certainly don't want to see Teddy Kennedy in a Navy flight suit anytime soon."

Can you blame him? I don't...
