Another Dimocrat faces investigation........what is with these dolts???

[Guillermo]

Laws are for Little People. She's a Kennedy for crying out loud, cut her some slack.

[Lancey Howard]

KKT is an honest, out of touch and uninformed lady. She was a stooge for the democrats who wanted a figurehead to serve as governor. She is not a crook and does not deserve this slander. An incompetent stooge, yes, but not a crook. The Maryland democrat machine are the crooks here, but not KKT.

Sorry, no sale.
Kennedy-Townsend is as corrupt as the rest of her party. The "incompetent" part is getting mention only because she got caught.

[cactusSharp]

read the article twice....what is missing ?
a hint of Clinton....ain't one...not even
a whiff of Ole Crusty.

A Kennedy down, to the count of two,
cannot expect the hand of a Clinton
who is with the other hand, hugging the
reflection of a star.

arm ain't that long......oops.

it's 04' for the Whore.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Oh goody--I love witch hunts!

[staytrue]

This is a woman who at a post super bowl photo op did not know the difference between "making a football" and scoring a touchdown. When introducing her running mate, she called him "ambassador lawton" instead of admiral larsen. She said "we should hire more people who speak hispanish". I was holding a sign that said "making a football, townsend is an idiot". She and her campaign manager came out to confront us and she barely said a word while her manager did all the talking" She is an innocent stooge. I know one when I see on.

[CARepubGal]

What else floats? A Duck! :-) KKT seems a little less disgusting than her siblings at least. Hitlary! Deserves the Ceaucescu treatment.

[cavtrooper21]

I'm stunned.....
LOL!

[happygrl]

it's 04' for the Whore.

Whoooah ! SLAP!!! hehe.

[Bonaparte]

His son. See 11.

[Bonaparte]

"She is an innocent stooge."

Whether she is or not, she stepped into the ring with the big boys. As a Kennedy, she automatically inherits lots of enemies -- guys like me, for example. Even as a "stooge" she could do a lot of damage. If she goes down hard, I won't shed a tear for her. Her only rightful occupation is apologizing for what her family has done to America.

[dfwgator]

Amen!

[jmaroneps37]

Another dog bites man story.

[Bigg Red]

If she goes down hard, I won't shed a tear for her.

Amen, brother! And the innocent stooge bit isn't going to work for me either. She is an attorney, isn't she?

nutmeg, thanks for the flag.

[aristeides]

Her assistant, Michael Sarbanes!! Any relation to Sen. Sarbanes, the Maryland Senator who is a dem and who lives in Baltimore???

I think I read some place that he's the senator's son.

[aristeides]

Stooge or not, I assume KKT knew what she was saying when she said this: Slavery was based on race. Lynching was based on race. Discrimination was based on race. Jim Crow was based on race. Affirmative action should be based on race.

[TheLion]

Maryland has been Rat heaven for years....who knows what they have been up to. Hope we find out.

[Bonaparte]

Here's KKT's resume (or part of it) --

Before becoming Lt. Governor, Mrs. Townsend served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice. She was responsible for a billion-dollar budget to support local law enforcement and establish community policing programs across the country.

Committed to providing quality education for all citizens, Mrs. Townsend has taught at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Essex and Dundalk Community Colleges, and the University of Pennsylvania. She was the first Executive Director of the Maryland Student Service Alliance, a public-private partnership she founded with the State Department of Education to inspire young people to serve their communities. Under her leadership, Maryland became the first state in the nation to require that all high school students perform community service. The Alliance also launched Civic Works, an urban service corps which puts young adults to work while teaching critical job skills.

In addition, Mrs. Townsend, a long-time advocate for children and families, serves as Chair of the Governor's Task Force on Children, Youth, and Families Systems Reform. She is a life-long champion of environmental conservation and a strong proponent of international trade and economic development. In all these areas, the Lt. Governor has been actively involved, privately and professionally, publishing articles in the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Washington Monthly, and in several law reviews. Mrs. Townsend is the founder of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award and the former chair of the Board of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation. She was elected Chair of the Southern Region of the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors, and the National Democratic Caucus of Lieutenant Governors. She is Chair of the Board of Advisors of Maryland's Character Education Initiative, and past Chair of the Peabody Institute Oversight Committee. Mrs. Townsend serves on the Advisory Board of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank), The Johns Hopkins University Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and the Institute of Human Virology of the University of Maryland. She also serves on the Board of Partners of Radcliffe College.

Born on July 4, 1951, Mrs. Townsend is the eldest child of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy. Mrs. Townsend is a cum laude graduate of Harvard University and a graduate of the University of New Mexico Law School, where she was an editor of the law review. She has received many honorary degrees. Mrs. Townsend lives in Baltimore County with her husband, David, a professor at St. John's College in Annapolis, and three of their four daughters: Maeve, Kate, and Kerry. Her oldest daughter, Meaghan, is in college.

Doesn't sound that stupid to me.

The Maryland democrat machine are the crooks here, but not KKT.

Bull $hit! KKT has been part of the "DemocRAT machine" for at least the last EIGHT YEARS!

[staytrue]

"Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice. She was responsible for a billion-dollar budget"

she was a no nothing appointed figure head just like her lieutenant gov. job.

"Mrs. Townsend has taught at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Essex and Dundalk Community Colleges, and the University of Pennsylvania. "

UMBC and community colleges are remedial high schools for kids who realize they screwed up and need more knowledge. Don't know about the Penn job or what she taught, but some BS seminar course would not make her a genius.

"publishing articles in the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Washington Monthly, and in several law reviews"

probably ghost written, like hillary's book

"elected Chair of the Southern Region of the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors, and the National Democratic Caucus of Lieutenant Governors"

Exactly how many southern dem governors were there ? Georgia, NC, MD, and KY. She might have been 1 our of 5 at the time. I think VA only recently went dem. So out of 5 people, she won. Big deal, just like the rest of her resume.

[staytrue]

she's a parrot who was taught to say "polly want a cracker". Not quite as useless as milli vanilli, but close.
