Kennedys Clintons in convention feud

ASHINGTON - What was supposed to be a sporting, four-city competition for the 2004 Democratic National Convention has been transformed into a power struggle between two of the country's leading political families: the Kennedys and the Clintons.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts is spearheading Boston's drive to host the party gathering, telling each of the Democrats' potential presidential candidates that, as he passes age 70, he wants to finally bring the convention to his home state.

[abclily]

All the discussion in the world will not change the fact that the convention will be held in New York, and that Miss Hitlery will accept the nomination.

Has the Kennedys' time as the party's first family ended, with the torch being passed to a new generation, the Clintons?

From bad to worse ;-)

Kinda like the torch being passed from the Gambino family to the Gottis', ain't it?

Thank you for posting this.

The probability statistic to be assigned to Hillary Regina not running is .000317, give or take a little. The Bubba Rex machine is just cranking up. '08 is too late for her.

HR will not seek out the nomination directly. She will thrive in the putrid Petri dish of Dem politics by standing to the side of the direct efforts of Al Borg, Kerry, et al.

The media will put a camera on her at every turn (edited to reveal only the 'pretty-in-pink' aspect)- Gag. As push comes closer to the 2004 shove, and Bush has economic woes to deal with, and the Borg is undermined by McAuliffe/HR/BR, she will be increasingly portrayed as the star power which must be drafted for the Dems to win. She will also be on the lookout for the 2004 counterpart of the 1933 Reichstag fire to exploit - whether she starts it or not. She will also settle for VPOTUS. She will keep the Vince Foster team at the ready and 'her' convention will be in New York.

Can she win nationally? I don't really think so. But I was dead wrong about 92, 96 and her senate bid. The American electorate has the average political discrimination capability of an animal cracker. The next couple of election cycles will see Goebbels reincarnated on a staggering scale. We are in deep weeds.

Blessings on Freepers Everywhere.

Throughout the 1990s, the Kennedys and Clintons also fed off each other,

I never knew parasites could fed off each other

New York was budgeting up to $75 million for the convention

Excuse me New York, but if you have $75 million to waste on a polictical convention, why do you need any more federal money?

Since we do not have a "dog" in this fight, we can sit back and enjoy it. I hope Kennedy really wants the Convention in Boston, and is willing to use some of his polictical clout to fight for it. This of course require Hillary to get nasty (which she does so well).

If we are lucky it will be like two scorpions fighting to the death.

Who has the popcorn.

While the Globe and the rest of the media is focusing on the "fued", I found one statement in there that is probably the most telling about not only this - but what the entire DEMONCRAP Party is about.

Standing just off the Senate floor where he has served for 40 years, Kennedy said: ''I think she understands the symbolism of having the convention in New York, and certainly there's something to speak for that. But I also think she has some appreciation for the symbolism of having the convention in Boston.''

That's what it is all about for these morons - SYBOLISM OVER SUBSTANCE. Instead of saying something like "While I would love to have the convention in Boston, in the end it is what we do at the convention that matters not the location" --- all the DUMBOCRAPS can see is the SYBOLISM of where it is held.

[Types_with_Fist]

Any chance they might duke it out with bazookas?

"If we are lucky it will be like two scorpions fighting to the death."

My image of the feud match is Teddy and Hilde in wrestler's tights, complete with bizarre masks. Oiled and sweating they wrestle on the floor of the Madison Square Garden ring while "their people" scream for blood.

Beastie gets Teddy in a hammer lock and makes him pound the mat all the while confessing his sins. In the wink of an eye, Teddy rolls over, catching Bruenhilde in an unguarded moment.

He straddles her and she kicks fiercely, promising not to "do it again", Do what again? Teddy yells hoarsely.

"I, I, I won't run again"....she cries. "What!" the crowd roars, "you must, you must sacrifice yourself again for us" and when Teddy puts her neck in the ropes the throng snatches her and begins to pass her from row to row.

In only two minutes she is torn into lumps of fat and Teddy raises his clasp hands in victory.

A true Democratic victory was won tonight folks.

New York's fund-raising drive will be overseen by Robert E. Rubin, who was Clinton's Treasury secretary and is cochairman of the city's convention bid committee.

And THAT is the ONE of the reasons we won't see Rubin called as a witness by Levin and/or Lieberman. BINGO!

[Timesink]

I've always considered Bill Clinton to be the party's most bent penis....

Well, we don't know for sure. Nobody's ever dared try to look up Hillary's and Chelsea's dresses and see how bent theirs' are.

[CARepubGal]

The thought of Hitlary torn apart like the OTHER Jezebel has some nice Biblical resonance. I would not feed that disgusting mass of fetid flesh (hitlary) to a dog though. I like dogs too much!

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! Sounds like All About Eve.

I hope these two families of wild boars devour each other.

[Paul Atreides]

Hillary Rodham Clinton said the competition would not strain her friendship with Edward M. Kennedy.

''Oh, no, no, no. I'm one of his biggest fans ever,'' she said.

Hillary really likes the ones who treat women like yesterday's garbage, doesn't she?

They are devouring each other behind the scenes. The promises being made under the wires just now are probably most astounding-it is the kennedy name and money against the future power potential of hitlery and the present charisma of her dirtbag husband. All of them truly depraved and gross human beings.

My goodness, the liberals certainly know how to find leaders who dwell in the scum. It is kind of laughable.

Hitlery, a mean spirited, spirit crunching, arrogant snob who simply knows Arkansas and Illinois are WAY to hickish for her talents, has grown men in the senate and DNC looking like tiny sheep lapping up her every word. LOL. They are a funny bunch.

And teddy, a man who left a passenger to drown in his vehicle, only contacting the police many hours later (when his alcohol level had subsided, no doubt), has, like barney frank, done horrendous things but has no trouble wooing favor from people too dumb to know any better or too silly to understand they are exercising genuine high school ideology in supporting such nutcases.

This is quite a show. Talk about exposure.....democrats are flailing all over the place!

[Wingsofgold]

I noticed that too.

[Oschisms]

''I think she understands the symbolism of having the convention in New York, and certainly there's something to speak for that. But I also think she has some appreciation for the symbolism of having the convention in Boston.''

Either place, your sorry a$$*$ are gonna get freeped!

[Samwise]

with the torch being passed to a new generation, the Clintons?

Ye gads, a Clinton dynasty. I'll have nightmares tonight.
