What a total blowhard JERK!

THAT JERK! THAT UTTER MORONIC WONDER! BLOWHARD! HAS BEEN! HOW DARE HE! What an utter example of bitterness because he and his party lost power! I cannot believe Ted Kennedy did that… well then again is him! Stupid SO*. I wish he’d been voted out of office.

You know exactly why he did this. He’s trying to undermine the elections that are coming on Sunday. Jerk.

Well, it won’t work. Most people I know are about to explode in anger at such a speech. What makes it so bad is not that he said it (he can say any trash he wants – we will ignore him) it is that it will be aired over and over again by Algezeria (I know I didn’t spell that right.) and will try to demoralize our troops and the citizens that are preparing to vote in Iraq.

Jerk… well his legacy will just be like his dad’s. You do know that his dad sided with the Nazis one time.

This is what I was screaming about earlier with Ted Kennedy

Kennedy Calls for U.S. Withdrawal from Iraq, UN Role
Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:52 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States must begin to withdraw militarily and politically from Iraq to prevent worsening violence and hand over full responsibility to the United Nations, Sen. Edward Kennedy said on Thursday.

The Massachusetts Democrat, who opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, suggested a plan for President Bush to start withdrawing troops a day after the Pentagon warned lawmakers that strikes by insurgents may increase after this weekend's Iraqi national elections.

"There may well be violence as we disengage militarily from Iraq and Iraq disengages politically from us, but there will be much more violence if we continue our present dangerous and destabilizing course," Kennedy said in a speech to be delivered to the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

Rest of the story

It's not that it's anything new, what he said. It's the timing and how that will play into things out in Iraq this weekend that pissed me off so much.

This is just too rich!

Oh, and I found this while I was looking for the Ted K. article. This is just priceless!

Kerry asked to give back Senate salary

BOSTON, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The National Taxpayers Union wants former Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, D-Mass., to return $91,000 in Senate pay for days he missed votes.

Citing an obscure law, NTU, a taxpayers' watchdog organization, said Kerry's pay should be docked for the 146 days of Senate votes missed between January 2003 and October 2004 while he was campaigning for president. While Kerry's absentees are above the normal level, they are typical of lawmakers running for elections. It is not unusual for lawmakers in both the House and Senate to miss votes.

Kerry tops a list of 25 senators and congressmen of both parties, most of whom were running for higher office or in tough re-election bids, listed as having missed more than 10 voting days in Congress during that time, the Boston Herald said Friday.

"Taxpayers covered the bill for several members of Congress who were trolling for votes at the polls instead of casting votes in Washington," NTU President John Berthoud said.

The NTU report said former North Carolina senator and Kerry running mate John B. Edwards missed 102 days for an overpayment of nearly $64,000 and that former U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., received about $81,000 extra.

Members of Congress were paid $158,000 last year.
