Originally recorded for the album “Apocalyptic Pander,” here he is reprising “Jalisco” in a newly remastered, extended version for the Messiah’s March 4 push in Texas. It’s a sign of his and Obama’s deep respect for Hispanics, I think, that both of them have felt the need to actually break into song to communicate with the community.
Coming soon to the general: Teddy tries to reach out to black voters with a hip-hop remix of his timeless hit, “Vote Witchoo.”
Update: The first rule of pandering: Be able to carry a tune. Take a lesson, Teddy.

If the Republicans want to grab Hispanic voters in November, McShamnestys gonna have to top that.

I guess “drunk” sounds the same in Spanish as it does in English.
timpstewart on February 22, 2008 at 12:48 PM
MaryJo ain’t laughing.

The man is a national embarrassment.

Nothing new here… I think we all remember when Hillary sang “Wade in the Water” on a campaign stop in Harlem. Although I’m totally joking, her real behavior was equally objectionable. And I’m not just referring to the “I don’t feel no ways tired” nonsense in Selma… I’m talking about her speech in a black church (Al Sharpton by her side) in Harlem on MLK Jr. day a couple of years ago, in which she said that Republicans had run Congress “… like a plantation, and you know what I’m talkin’ about”. Back to my point, her singing “Wade in the Water” (my joke) is sadly no more shameful than her actual behavior. A frightening thought.
Back to the topic of this post… I suppose this is the “Change” Obama has been talking about? I mean, we’ve all mocked him for throwing “Change!” and “Hope!” at us so he doesn’t have to actually make any real points… but apparently we now have a definition for “change”… Singing in Spanish to pander for latino votes while the country is desperate for a REAL solution to out of control illegal immigration. Obravo.

How are so many cheering for this?
Only confirms that Obamamania is cultic, and that even Teddy Kennedy can make them cheer if they are under Barack’s hypnotic power
ToddonCapeCod on February 22, 2008 at 12:49 PM
I stand for change. If only Mass. stood for change we could be done with this clown.

What are the chances Teddy knows the Star Spangled Banner by heart?
amkun on February 22, 2008 at 12:50 PM
ROFL and would he place his hand over his heart?
On-my-soap-box on February 22, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Noted. I’ve contacted his campaign and offered to donate a poncho and a sombrero, but they said “thanks, but he’s got a closet full of ‘em”. Seriously though, I bet if I did call the campaign, I’d hear “For English, press 1, para español, oprima numero dos”
RightWinged on February 22, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Listening to that, who could believe that Ted got kicked out of Harvard for cheating on his Spanish exam?
cool breeze on February 22, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Not much singing going on up here in Minnesota where some of his second-hand murdering has taken place. What a pig.
oakpack on February 22, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Translate this into spanish; You too, can drown a girl and still lead a long and distinguished life!
HotAirExpert on February 22, 2008 at 12:52 PM
How about “Bridge over Troubled Waters” in Spanish.
RobCon on February 22, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Thanks for the laughs Ted! Mas, por favor.

Sin chugaibh é ‘nuas le fánaidh,

Is gearr go bhfuighe sibh bhur sáith dhe!
(Ripped off from Turlough O’Carolan)
There Teddy…in your native tongue in case you don’t recognize it.
Limerick on February 22, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Sick.
How could those fools up there keep electing this letch. He belongs in prison, for manslaughter and treason.

I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler, I’m a long way from home,
And if you don’t like me, then leave me alone,
I eat when I’m hungry and I’ll drink till I’m dry,
And if Moonshine don’t kill me, I’ll drink till I die.

Anyone know if Dr. Demento is looking for new material?

I would think Uncle Teddy would want nothing to do with Texas……

¡Si se puede!
Pero Ted no puede.
AverageJoe on February 22, 2008 at 1:24 PM
So that’s what a beached whale sounds like.
Mating call or distress signal?

Just think … this oddball is an elder statesman of the Senate.
The Founding Fathers must be vomiting.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 22, 2008 at 1:34 PM
He’s showing the Latinos how the Irish do it, drink and sing, that is.
Entelechy on February 22, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Ted’s been in power almost as long as those other Marxist icons, Fidel & X-KKK.
Cambio ahora, por favor!
jgapinoy on February 22, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Ted on the ramparts: “Praise the Lord, and pass the Cuervo!”
scatbug on February 22, 2008 at 1:45 PM
Ted sings about as well as he represents the people of Massachusetts.
That Mexican bit is supposed to what, appeal to illegals? Was it shot in Mexico?
How does a guy with a Black father fresh from Africa, and a Caucasian mother equate to “Viva”? Do those ingredients equate to Mexican????? I think not, but maybe the ivory tower Dems do?

Hening on February 22, 2008 at 1:56 PM
While understandable, the question is irrelevant. The Messiah is all things to all people. I hear Obama can also do a nifty Cossack dance and lives in a adobe hut in the summer.
scatbug on February 22, 2008 at 2:05 PM
I love how Teddy thinks by singing a Mexican song, he relates to all Hispanics. That’s like saying Massachusetts is indicative of the rest of America.
This man is a national embarrassment, Teddy, callate la boca!
FLcapitalistthug on February 22, 2008 at 2:25 PM
It’s not Obama’s ethnicity that attracts the illegals’ (and their U.S. citizen relatives’) support, it’s the promise of amnesty, open borders (Obama is now opposed to the border fence that he voted for in the Senate) and greatly expanded government benefits.
AZCoyote on February 22, 2008 at 2:28 PM
I can’t even watch. I’d rather have paper cuts on my eyeballs than listen to Teddy do anything, much less sing in spanish. Blachh.
As to why he keeps getting elected? If you can figure that out I’d love to know.
Geronimo on February 22, 2008 at 2:36 PM
I guess if we’re going to be a bi-lingual country we might as well just accept it and move on. The next logical step following this acceptance is to invade and take Mexico, cuba, and all of South America as territories.
Wise Golden on February 22, 2008 at 2:41 PM
How about “Moon River” in Spanish, especially if his pants are around his ankles at the time?
andycanuck on February 22, 2008 at 2:44 PM
I don’t know which is more painful, listening to him here or reading the response I just got from his office regarding my request he refrain from voting for the “Dream Act”….in which he assures me he will continue to fight to give my paycheck to criminal illegal aliens and their families.
Alden Pyle on February 22, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Viva Tequila, wonder if he ate the worm? sheesh.. >:}
OMG.. that was some horrible singing!
Chakra Hammer on February 22, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Teddy fail.
Chakra Hammer on February 22, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Agreed. I’ve said this before, why can’t we own property in Mexico but these asshats can own property here. Time to turn this around and go to Mexico and take what we want. How long do you think that would last? They would throw you in jail, never to be heard from again.
I hate to admit this, but I am slowly but surely starting to become a racist/bigot.

Just awesome, thank you. :)

B. Hussein wearing that black cowboy hat could pass for Jimmy Trivette on Walker Texas Ranger.

Hoping for the latter.
Entelechy on February 22, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Yeah, says a lot for his constituency too huh?
labrat on February 23, 2008 at 12:07 AM
You can rationalize anything when you are blinded by a cult mentality.
labrat on February 23, 2008 at 12:17 AM
That person has absolutly NO shame. What dismal, disgusting failure. I don’t know how he can live with himself. And I’m talking about what passes for his singing.
