Gitmo now has 2 open spots.... (Below threshold)1. Posted by La Mano | June 13, 2006 11:57 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Gitmo now has 2 open spots. He could serve two purposes; complete his sentence and report to Congress on conditions there.

Lucky for him her was chauffered away by the Capitol Police before he could be charged with "Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol & Prescription Drugs". There's a distinct difference between the moral indignation his contituents would have toward a DUI for being drunk and a DUI for Rx. With the latter Kennedy gets to keep his job. Pathetic.
Slightly OT: Does anyone remember when Roseanne Barr said ...
Sorry Rosie. The Kennedy' had you beat on that designation by decades.

So Pelosi is thinking of putting a politically correct but otherwise unimpressive democrat on the house intelligence committee (Impeached federal judge, stopped a federal investigation by blabbling about the wire tap), we have patches getting a court case, we may see McKinney indicted soon, we have Jefford's appearing on video with "cold, hard cash" bribes (sorry, I couldn't resist) and Harry "I won't take that kind of bribe again" Reid as leader in the senate.
So how is that who culture of corruption meme working for you on the left?

The MSM will fail to report the broader story arc, namely, that this guilty plea represents a broader indictment of liberalism as a whole. (/wingnut)
Say, what's Preznit Deciderpants polling at? A DUI would probably help that guy's popularity. Energize the base, and what-not.

Nice guilty plea, after getting whisked away without being tested and taking a couple weeks to dry out before showing back up.
That way, any illegal and/or unprescribed drugs in his system wouldn't be discovered.
It's kind of like his Dad waiting a few hours before reporting an accident: make sure enough time elapses for all alcohol in the system - and breathable air in the car - has disappeared.
Patches is just a chip off the ol' blockhead . . .

Wow. Big 'moral victories' (by which I mean electoral losses) in California, Zarq is toast, Hidatha 'massacre' story falling apart, Rove not indicted, Duke lacrosse 'rape' case falling apart, Kennedy pleads to DUI...whatta week for the Dems.
Sorry jp2. But hey, maybe a U.S. soldier will be falsely accused in a 'sexed-up' massacre story in Time magazine next week. That'll make you feel better.

How can you politicize a rape case, Les? You think that if the players are acquitted, that there will be hand-wringing within the DNC? Do you think that Dems are going to campaign as the anti-rape party, while accusing the Republicans of protecting rapists?
This issue has nothing to do (or SHOULD have nothing to do) with federal politics. Don't stoop to that level. (And don't point out any liberals or conservatives who have already done so; they're wrong to do so as well.)

mused:
"How can you politicize a rape case, Les? "
I'm not; it's already been politicized by the Dem proscecutor while he was running his reelection campaign. I wish the Democrat, Nifong, had not politicized it, but he did. And the usual Democrat-supporting race hustlers came out of the woodwork to further politicize this case.
(Heh. I notice that out of the 6 things I listed, you picked the weakest one to talk about. Hey, I don't blame ya.)

Well, Les, since *real* liberals agree that Zarqawi's death is a good thing; don't care about the Kennedys as such; the election in California was in a GOP stronghold (like a Repub. winning in Berkeley); Haditha is an ongoing issue that I have never speculated about... I guess I should have conceded that Rove's non-indictment is a victory for the GOP. Of course it is--he's the most gifted politicker in the country. Doesn't that go without saying? I kinda thought so.
Having said that, if a crass politician wants to politicize a rape case, maybe you should hold yourself to a higher standard...?

Be mused, I was thinking of post natal abortion, limited to say the first 150 trimesters. Performed by a physician of course. I recommend the method used for partial birth abortions. That is insert a needle, large, suck out the brains and crush the skull. Should be mothers choice, after all, a woman should have the right to choose.
