Video: Ted Kennedy goes NUTS

I could opine on context, take you down side roads and deliver all the nuanced commentary I can muster. Or I could just suggest that you watch the video, because Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy acts like an irate, incoherent buffoon on the floor of the Senate. It’s from yesterday.

On the one hand, Kennedy can serve as a warning: This is what several decades of hard living looks and sounds like, kids. On the other hand, at least he named the right war this time.

Credit to Beyond the News for catching this one.

Jack Kennedy got elected with help from the Mafia. Fact.
Then Robert Kennedy, the ingrate, goes after the Mafia to break it. Fact. Now Ted Kennedy needs a visit from the Mafia. Hoping.

Thanks. I don’t think yours and my ideals are in conflict. Gotta run.

Paraphrasing TK “Let the people/voters see what happens in Washington” – they see, and they conclude that the children, and the incontinent seniles, are left in charge.

“Slow the process down?” Who knows what he’s talking about better than Teddy. What exactly is the “speedy” process when you drive a car off a bridge and a young woman is trapped inside? How about waiting eight or nine hours to notify authorities?

Ashamed to admit that he used to be my senator

Ever wonder Congress excluded themselves from Urine testing?

You just watched a guy that should have to give a sample every week.

ScottyDog on July 20, 2007 at 6:32 PM

It would have been funnier if you guys had dubbed in farting noises so that it sounded like Kennedy was constantly passing gas while he was making his point.

It’s probably good (for him) that he drinks so much otherwise he would have a stroke getting so worked up.

It’s CHOW-DA!

I really, really, really miss James Traficant. At least he had a sense of humor.

This bloated Mass of 2 shits swimmer needs to decompose quickly, if even only in an environmental sense.

I miss James Traficant.

Coronagold on July 21, 2007 at 12:15 AM

This murderous, self-serving, bloviating ass has been in office as long as I’ve been alive, which is quite a long time at 45.

Throw the bums out! Support term limits!

Im_no_dhimmi on July 21, 2007 at 2:00 AM

wow… I didn’t know the young people today didn’t have the opportunity to get an education

rahjr2k on July 21, 2007 at 4:51 AM

who?

Ted would be a delirious old homeless drunk peeing on store fronts, had his daddy not been a successful bootlegger.

TheSitRep on July 21, 2007 at 8:15 AM

I just watched Sen. Byrd go on and on about dogfights. Wow. He really cares about dogs.

Now he dons his wizard hat and cloak.

This is the best online exposition on Chappaquiddick that I’ve seen. The air pocket is addressed in Chapter 5.

infidel, thanks a million for the ref. You have given me a gift. Everyone turn to chapter 5. Scroll down to 8:20 AM. Read the description and observe the drawing.

Her head was cocked back, her face pressed into the footwell. Both hands gripped the front edge of the back seat to hold herself in conformity with its upholstered contours

Read the analysis – how she was grasping the now uppermost part of the car seat in the overturned car to position her head for the airpocket.

Now, replay the tape above of Kennedy’s righteous ager over a much more serious problem

This kennedy is a man (biologically) who thinks the dog leash sex pyramids of the Iraqi jail were cruel

“Mr. President, I con’t wait.
Mr. President, ibso glutom ikfah.
Mr. President, make mine on the rocks.”

The people of Massachusetts have spoken.

Hening on July 22, 2007 at 3:17 PM

eh, let him damage the party a little more. Leave him in.

johnnyU on July 22, 2007 at 4:59 PM

I’m tired of this drunk old fool.

Make mine a double “swimmer.”

jdsmith0021 on July 22, 2007 at 9:34 PM

Lord, that was ugly.

Glynn on July 22, 2007 at 11:36 PM

Didn’t Bush put Kennedy in charge of education?

Bush was completely naive in thinking he could win Democrat affections by adopting a few of their positions.

In the words of Barney: “Uuuurrrrp”!
