We all know that Ted Kennedy has many problems.
Finding a bartender that will not overserve him = problem
Counting calories = problem
Monogamy= problem
Not lying his ass off for partisan political purposes = problem
The FACT remains that Ted Kennedy is a unconscionable LIAR.
We, the voters of Massachusetts, get what we deserve. Only 10 months after Mary Jo Kopechne died in his Oldsmobile, Kennedy was re-elected with 70% of the vote. What kind of message does that send?
Well, here we are 35 years later, and Kennedy is still in the Senate, still holding onto power, and still LYING his ass off.
From Byron York on The Corner,
In his opening statement, Sen. Ted Kennedy said, “In an era when America is still too often divided by race and by riches, Judge Alito has not written one single opinion on the merits in favor of a person of color alleging race discrimination on the job. In fifteen years on the bench, not one.”
Moments ago, Republicans released a list of four opinions — Reynolds v. USX Corp., Zubi v. AT&T Corp., Smith v. Davis, and Goosby v. Johnson & Johnson — in which, GOP senators say, Alito ruled for employees claiming racial discrimination
A few minutes later, York provides an update, some clarity if you will, on the Senator’s remarks,
From the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, an e-mail on Ted Kennedy’s statement that “Judge Alito has not written one single opinion on the merits in favor of a person of color alleging race discrimination on the job.” “The operative word here is ‘written,'” the e-mail says. So it appears that the Kennedy argument is not that Alito has not voted in favor of minority rights in cases of persons of color alleging race discrimination on the job — Republicans have cited four cases in which that happened — but that he has not written those opinions.
I know that Judge Alito was sworn in this morning, held his hand on the bible, and swore to tell the “whole truth”. Shouldn’t that standard apply to the people asking the questions?
