It was 36 years ago tonight when Fatboy Ted Kennedy drove his mother's Oldsmobile off the Dike Bridge into Poncha Pond. He swam to safety and left his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne trapped in the backseat to slowly drown in the rising waters of the tidal pond. Mary Jo is still dead and Fatboy is leader of the Lunatic Left. She's in my prayers he's not...

First, Ted was coming. Now, he's not. U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy will stump for presidential candidate John Kerry in Harrisburg and perhaps Pittsburgh tomorrow, but he won't swing through Northeastern Pennsylvania. A hinted stop in Nanticoke by the liberal Massachusetts Democrat is off the itinerary, according to Kennedy's spokesman. On Wednesday, local officials heard Kennedy would be in the area to campaign for Kerry, the other Massachusetts senator. By midday, the visit had fizzled. "Senator Kennedy will not be in Northeastern Pennsylvania on Friday," said Kerry campaign spokesman Mark Nevins, confirming a local visit had been discussed, but not finalized....

Democrats will honor U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy on Tuesday with a tribute that falls at the same time as the 35th anniversary of Kennedy's guilty plea for his involvement in the drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), broadening his criticism of President Bush from foreign policy to domestic issues, accused Bush yesterday of having "created the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon" on education, health and jobs, as well as the war in Iraq. "He has broken the basic bond of trust with the American people," Kennedy said at the Brookings Institution in a speech that was clearly aimed at challenging Bush's credibility with voters, especially by comparing him with Nixon, who resigned as president in disgrace as a result of the Watergate scandal 30 years ago. In response, Senate Republican leaders...

There is a unit of measure for anything that can be measured. Like I said in the title, hotels are rated by the number of stars, with more stars meaning a better hotel. Temperature is measured in degrees, with more degrees indicating higher temperatires. Well I hearby announce the official measure to gage the lunacy of statements made by Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, the "Fingers of Scotch Scale". Senator Kennedy's statements will now be rated according to how many "Fingers of Scotch" in a normal 14 oz rocks class it took before he was sloshed enough to make whatever inane...

Kennedy Says Case for Iraq War Was Fraud By STEVE LeBLANC, Associated Press Writer BOSTON - The case for going to war against Iraq was a fraud "made up in Texas" to give Republicans a political boost, Sen. Edward Kennedy said Thursday. In an interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy also said the Bush administration has failed to account for nearly half of the $4 billion the war is costing each month. He said he believes much of the unaccounted-for money is being used to bribe foreign leaders to send in troops. He called the Bush administration's current Iraq policy...
