1. Even if it happened 30 years ago
the right wing would still be talking about it as if it was yesterday.

6. A hanging on the Senate floor. With GWB* pulling the lever.

3. Yep and no one would accuse them...
...that screamed loud, of being "petty".

Time for the Dems to step up and swing for the fence...for a change.

5. I agree entirely. I do think it's a good thing that our congressfolks
are at home and hearing the comments that I assume they are hearing.

7. That's funny.
The essence of comedy is truth. Learned that from Edith Hamilton, the history writer.

It just struck me funny. Good Lord. We would NEVER hear the end of it if it was a Kennedy.

Thanks for the laugh. Good one.

8. Well, the rethugs do bring up Chappaquiddick almost daily
in some form or function.

Accusing someone of murder ranks a bit more of a crime then sending some 16 year 'overly friendly' emails.

As a point, "major shit" should hit the fan if Kennedy did in fact do what Foley did.

11. My repuke relatives never pass up an opportunity to
comment negatively on "killer Kennedy." They had a field day with the William Kennedy Smith rape charge years ago, not even putting a lid on it when the guy was found not guilty. They'd go ballistic over even a hint of an "overly friendly" Kennedy e-mail - any Kennedy.

Repukes are apparently genetically predisposed to hate Kennedys and Clintons and to immediately and forcefully defend any repuke behavior no matter how abhorrent.

13. It's like I said
the Republicans have probably spent the last week or so wishing that they could bribe a Kennedy into getting drunk and cracking a car into something.
