From an E-Mail I received a few weeks ago:
“It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marine Corps to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.”

Sometimes you just wish that someone way-back-when had decided to use contraception...
The Kennedys also used their power to cover up the rape and murder of one of their neighbours in Greenwhich, CN IIRC...

I am surprised, actually, more like stunned, that American citizens return this fine servant of the people to Congress as their senior elected representative every year.
He makes Kerry look like a paragon of virtue.
Are these two really the best that the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can find and send to the Senate to represent them?
Personally, I wouldn't trust either of these gentlemen to pick up my refuse from the curb in front of my house twice a week and their actions over the past 30 plus years have nothing to change my opinion.
Just my .02, YMMV.

It must be a New England thing. Perhaps too much mercury in the shellfish, overdosing on Maple Syrup, walking around in the winter without a hat on, or perhaps the proximity of the Phrench in Canada. Vermont is no better. They send the only socialist in the frigging congress back year after year as their only representative in the House. Then we have Jeffords who thinks he is an independent but is not really sure which aligns him with the flip flop gene of Kerry and finally Leahy who not only is an idiot but can claim the death of an American operative in the 87 time frame when he leaked information as a member of the intelligence committee whose pre-requisite for selection is obviously not intelligence.

Its karmic balancing sir. Beautiful leaves in fall - crappy representation in Congress. Nothing strange about it.

Think of it as trying to run against Castro or Saddam
Sure you can try and give it a go but all the money is against you, all the papers, all the TV stations, every single union etc
Republicans can barely get elected to the state Senate let alone the US one
I for one can't wait for next week's love fest - the convention. Road closures, train closures, protests from cops and anarchists - it ought to be quite the show

He was inducted into the "American Academy of Arts and Sciences" the same day that Nancy was, and he was scheduled to dine with us afterward (exclusive dinner by invitation only). I was all set to engage him in discourse much the same way as I spoke with Pres Clinton in the Oval Office, Kennedy was called away at the last minute (don't know why), and we dined with Daniel Schorr instead:

New York is no better with Maddam Clit-ton in the area now. Hence the reason I no longer live in NY, nor have any desire to return. Ever.
