I mean its getting to be an epidemic. First John Bolton is chasing people down halls (or not) and now Teddy Kennedy is yelling at reporters. What next? Emily Post disinterred from her grave???

Clifford May is one of my favorites. Bursting with common sense and humaneness and a lot of smarts. When serious you feel, if even so slightly, his humorous side being held back and when humorous he makes serious points exceedingly well. Definitely one of the 100 people you’d elect for a desert island deal.

Whoo. Dig it.
C Span finally played the LA Book festival this weekend. The panel was John Dean, Eric Alterman, Maureen Dowd and others lambasting Bush; the theme being presidents who lie. I can see why Roger walked.
How boring, repetitious and nowhere leading. The lions at the zoo used to be fed at noon now they feed the pride on the LA Book festival. Giggles, laughs, applause, for what? I thought the issue was resolved on November 2. There is no talk on the UN or the Oil for Food, no talk about the transformation of the UN or judicial nominations. It is like watching Fred Astaire reruns over
and over. The leftist media is very comfortable with old movies. It is a sign of their stasis.
It is bewildering to me that the Democrats want to play this game. My understanding is that some of their more senior folks are abysmal to work for. The stories are legion.
Hillary and Bill are atrocious to work for. Gray Davis’ temper tantrums were legendary. Charles Schumer is also less then pleasant to be around.
I am not saying that all Republicans are wonderful to work for, but please?
ìIt is bewildering to me that the Democrats want to play this game.î
Why should you be surprised? The Democrats take it for granted that the MSM will overlook the bad behavior of their own politicians. Iíve said for a long time that Hillary Clintonís political career would have been destroyed in she were a Republican. The New York Senator has a well established reputation for being a nasty shrew. A number of secret service agents have discretely revealed that Mrs. Clinton treated them with near contempt.
The way I heard it, Kennedy actually DID have his hands on his hips!
Enough with the noblesse oblige. I call for a special prosecutor–pronto!
If Teddy ever put his hands on his hips, they’d go in to his elbows and he’d never get ‘em back out.
If Teddy acted like this towards people who showed up late, just imagine what he’d do to somebody who forgot to provide the alcoholic beverages. My guess is he’d take them for a ride in his Oldsmobile.
…and it IS his father’s Oldsmobile.
I think the whole point is pot calling the kettle black.
Whether temper tantrums from or the LA book festival, there is no shortage of people who are in position to speak speaking anyway.
I wonder what all these Bush haters would have said Bush had come out in 2001 after the attack on the WTC and said he was going to rescend the Iraqi Liberation Act, stop flying the no fly zones and drop all sanctions against Iraq thereby allowing American oil companies to do business with Saddam…all because the Democrats were liars who stated that Saddam had weapons he did not possess and further lied by saying he was a threat to his own people and the people of the region. He could have added that there was no proof that Saddam had not complied with the sanctions as Clinton had stated on numerous occassions and that the Food for Oil program had done a fine job of offsetting the hardsips imposed by the evil Clinton administration on the hapless people of Iraq but it was time that they and their much abused leader were freed from those restrictions.
You gotta wonder….
I’m not convinced that Teddy’s hands can reach his hips.
Ed, as long as there’s a bar at elbow height, suitably indented, they’ll never have to.
Version 2 of C Span’s coverage of the LA Book festival was aired this evening with such even handed luminiaries as Amy Goodman, David Rieff, the former vice president in the Sandanista regime and a token conservative. The hall was full of applause again from the liberal/leftist packed audience. Being anti Bush is the litimus test for acceptance for this side of the American electorate. Whether they would have felt any differently if Bush had taken another course of action is irrelevant to the issue: the left’s fixated animus of George W. Bush which extends beyond the fringe to the mainstream media. This non event was followed by a ray of enlightenment is a sea of bile; Brian Lamb’s thought provoking interview with Charles Krauthammer.
On a previous post, I indicated that John Bolton should probably be replaced as nominee for UN ambassador with Ted Kennedy, in the hopes that he could (in the spirit of MaryJo Kopechne) drive all of the UN into the East River.
Now I am faced with a real dilemma.
When Ted Kennedy yells, does he get all red in the face? Oh. Wait a minute. Does he get redder in the face?
I’d love to see a real filibuster, with Ted Kennedy frothing at the mouth in the wee hours of the morning, hoarse and bloated, trying to hold the Senate floor — or at least to not collapse on the floor.
Imagine the blogging possibilities. It might even make AllahPundit come back for a captions contest.
G-d, I miss Allah.
Looks this condition has been around for years, quietly, slowly seeping into American culture. Why even Uncle Walt had a bout of it too.
