Wolfe Blitzer Re: Kennedy - "Should he give up his seat in Congress?"
Yep - just heard it on CNN. I don't remember the media saying that Dick Cheney should step down after shooting someone in the face.

Wolfe also referred to the accident as Kennedy "crashing his car."

Note to Wolfe: That wasn't a crash, dipstick. That was a scrape. No biggie, a couple of days in a body shop and it's as good as new. Want to talk about a crash? Ask Laura Bush about what happened in Texas in 1963. Now THAT'S a crash!

6. Snap!
Beat me too it. Doubt Wolfie ever asked that about Cheney.

What a opportunistic Repug whore. Blitzer's partisanship couldn't be more obvious.

8. That's the Cafferty uestion of the hour. I sent him a response.
Why should he resign? Congress only works about 70 days a year, and I'm sure Patrick can work that little bit of time into his rehab schedule!!!!

Kennedy (and Jefferson) need to reisgn (3+ / 0-)
Recommended by:qw3rty, pattyp, The Nazz
Patrick Kennedy's in a lot of pain; I feel sympathy.

But if he can't remember even getting into his car, if he was in rehab over Christmas, if there's an allegation he'd been drinking before the accident -- well maybe he needs to resign.

Here's the problem folks: most Americans who aren't partisans truly believe the democrats and The Republicans are "all the same" and that the power-elite takes care of its own.

Democrats can talk about Abramoff and Cunningham and the Republicans' toothless ethics bill, but so long as the People see us as just the "other side of the coin", they have little reason to go to the polls to vote for Dems.

Now we've got Congressman William Jefferson who despite allegations of bribery won't resign, and Patrick Kennedy who announces he's "going to vote" and so dodges a Breathalyzer test, and now will go into rehab rather than resign.

This gives all the justification in the world to independents who will say that the Dems are "just as bad" and that "all of them are corrupt".

The Democratic Party needs to show it's different, that it's not a club of the elite taking care of the elite.

Much as I feel for Congressman Kennedy, it's time for him for his own good and for the good of the Party, to resign with dignity.

Accountability moment, my ass!

13. And he will get away with it unless a DEM goes on & confronts him.
Edited on Fri May-05-06 08:42 PM by Dr Fate
And ask him , to his face:

"Why did you suggest Kennedy should resign, but not Cheney? Did you suggest that Rush Limbaugh give up his job?

Were you afraid to say that about Cheney or Rush, or do you favor them- which is it?"

"Please- I yeild the floor to you to explain to your audience why you presented this in such a biased manner."


But we all know they wont. They probably think it would make the media compare them Colbert, McGovern or some other radical.

14. Only if Bush & Cheney give up their seats
Lemme see, Kennedy, pushed an airport guard and scraped the fender of his car.

Cheney, told a US Senator to go fuck himself, on the floor of the Senate, and SHOT A MAN IN THE FACE.

Bush, LIED US INTO A WAR!!

And Kennedy needs to go??
