Tell Us, Teddy

Tell Us, Teddy

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., is presidential hopeful John Kerry’s most-strident and increasingly ubiquitous surrogate defamer and traducer of President Bush.

Teddy delights in distorting past unpleasant events, such as the war in Vietnam, if he thinks he may find even the most-tenuous way of linking those to George W. Bush.

If that is fair play, then so certainly is this, which has the legitimacy of undeniably linking someone in public life factually with a sad remembrance: Teddy Kennedy and Chappaquiddick.

How Naturally That Resonates

Teddy Kennedy and Chappaquiddick.

Perhaps it is time, at long last, for the good senator to explain all. Under oath wouldn’t hurt.

To transliterate his recent soliloquy on Bush: Chappaquiddick is Teddy’s Vietnam.

Incredible!

And Teddy accuses this president of having “the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon.”

Incredibly, Teddy Kennedy is accusing someone else, anyone else, of having a credibility gap.

John Kerry is asking of you to trust the incredible Chappaquiddick Teddy to pick your next president for you.

What does that say for his credibility?
