Think Jack was elected to Congress in 48

It was 1946. The last time we elected a Federal government with no Kennedy's, Hitler was running Germany.

“Teddy’s Chair” (Sung to ‘Teddy Bear’ by Elvis Presley) A TCH Parody Production

Harry frets n’ weeps
For Uncle Teddy’s chair
Put that claim of Brown’s in check
Doan leave Dems in despair
O’s gotta keep (Oh! Keep that seat!)
Ol’ Teddy’s chair

Wild Teddy whored like Tiger
Like Tiger, he played too rough
While Mary Joe was dyin’
‘Twas cryin’ shame his lyin’
cover uh-uh-uh-uh-up.

Just wanna keep, Ol’ Teddy’s chair
Put that claim of Brown’s to rest
And lead us to healthcare
O’s gotta keep (Or he’ll be beat)
Ol’ Teddy’s chair

Pelosi met defeat , bound to loose the fight
Runin’ numbers through healthcare,
And fumblin’ Reid’s rewrite
O’s gotta keep (Or he’ll be beat)
Ol’ Teddy’s chair

Wild Teddy whored like Tiger
Like Tiger, he played too rough
While Mary Joe was dyin’
‘Twas cryin’ shame his lyin’
cover uh-uh-uh-uh-up.

Just wanna keep, Ol’ Teddy’s chair
Put that claim of Brown’s to rest
And lead us to healthcare
O’s gotta keep (Oh! Keep that seat!)
Ol’ Teddy’s chair

O’s gotta keep (Oh! Keep that seat)
Ol’ Teddy’s chair

They just wanna keep Ol’ Kennedy’s chair

Oh well.

Looks like the Democrat plan for holding half their seats is MASS RETIREMENTS. Gutless. I’ll take that as an admission that their ideas are garbage.

I have to give the Dems credit, they’re often far better and smarter at sacking sure-lose damaged incumbents before they reach the general than we are.

I see that Rep. Delahunt of Mass. is trailing in a poll so I expect him to be the next one to retire.

This is starting to feel like that scene in The Wizard of Oz where everything turns from black and white to color. :-)

“Probably moving back to MA to win back his Dad’s seat in 2012.”

Mebbe he can have Kerry’s seat, whenever that comes up? Do the people there want *another* Kennedy? :)

Only because they were somebody. They no longer are. They don’t report about you and your screw ups.
