And here is why this argument by the Strawman is beyond idiotic (or imbecilic if it will make the good Doctor happy.)
But some would argue that all of his posts are idiotic! |

Dick Cheney stood in a field, with a gun and a few beers in him and shot and missed his intendet target a duck (or whatever) but nailed the lawyer dead pan in the face and chest. It was stated that the lawyer acted inappropriately for sneaking up on the Vice!? What I wanna know is where the heck was the secret service if a person with a gun was able to sneak up on the Vice.
Somebody should have yelled "DUCK LAWYER".
Darryl - how come somebody with your handle is ripping a Kennedy? As far as role models go your handle was one of the worst for kids. |

Bajou,
When someone is about to shoot a lawyer, no one ever yells "duck".

Seems like the Bush clan are running neck & neck with the Kennedy's.
Bush Nephew Nabbed
Jeb's youngest son in Texas booze, resisting arrest bust
SEPTEMBER 16--One of President George W. Bush's nephews--the youngest son of Florida Governor Jeb Bush--was arrested early today and charged with public drunkenness and resisting arrest. John Ellis Bush, 21, was nabbed at 2:30 AM by Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents in Austin (Jeb Jr.'s street corner arrest came in one of the capital's popular bar districts). According to the below arrest warrant, filed with the Travis County Municipal Court, an intoxicated Bush, "continually pushed against this officer and struggled as I attempted to handcuff him." After about four hours in custody, Bush was released on $2500 bond for the resisting count (the intox charge was covered by a personal recognizance bond). This is the second time young Jeb--pictured in mug shot at right--has landed on a police blotter. In October 2000, Jeb, then 16, and a girlfriend were discovered naked from the waist down in a Jeep Cherokee parked at a Tallahassee mall. Jebby's siblings, George and Noelle, have also had well-publicized run-ins with the law.
Hey Straw,
Didn't you say Jeb is one of your best buddies! Could ya tell him to control the kiddies!

Again,
Not an elected official. It's kind of like when Ferraro's son was busted on coke charges. I certainly do not consider that situation as horrid as what we've seen with Patrick Kennedy because Ted's son has been elected to lead. Instead he's taking drugs, or drinking or both and driving.
another dumbocrat. |

So again… Cheney?
What's his excuse for the cover-up straw? Waited over 24 hours before reporting the SHOOTING of an elderly man. I guess 24 hours gives him enough time to SOBER-UP! BTW Cheney didn't have a legal license for his hunting excursion. 
oh yeh, isn't he second in command behind the prez?

He gets limited immunity from prosecution if he was going to or from a vote.
So, he was not so drunk as to forgot the excuse.
What would Mary Jo Kopechne say, if she hadn't been drowned by the schizoid's father 37 years ago?
"At least he was alone."

Who knows? It sounds like he came from his house. I don't think he would say that if he knew he had been seen at a bar. Maybe he is telling the truth, or a slightly whitewashed version of it.
It seems like there is evidence here that can be looked at. There is probably a report be Capital Police, right?

straw, if you want to tar all the kennedys because of the actions (or alleged actions) of one of them, then we get to tar all the Bushes. Fair? The fact that Pat Kennedy is elected doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the kennedys as you lump them together, so the fact that the daughters or nephews are not elected doesn't matter either.
Cheney's elected, and he shot someone after drinking. Unless you're going to call for his resignation too, it's time to put a lid on it. 'cause otherwise all you're saying is, he should resign because he's a democrat. |

What happened with Goss by the way?
Porter Goss resigns as CIA chief:
"This is a devastating blow, the importance of which really cannot be overestimated," Barr told CNN. "It indicates again a continuing downward slide in the intelligence capabilities of our government, it indicates again the disorganization on the part of our intelligence agencies at a time when we can ill afford to see that happen." |

On the bright side he wasn't driving over any bridges with young female campaign workers.
Plus the UAW will certainly support him in the future. He was driving an American car. |

the obvious facts are that 1) straw is running his double-standard in overdrive on this one, and; 2) Anything ... anything!!!! to distract from the Republican scandals overrunning Washington.
Goss resigns, under the cloud of attending parties full of kickbacks and prostitutes. Hotel records from Duke Cunningham's parties are subpoenaed. Kathryn Harris will either be in the Senate or an institution by January (the smart money is on the institution). Blackwell and his minions in Ohio have managed to "lose" hundreds of thousands of votes from the recent primary. A top Bush judicial candidate failed to recuse himself from corporate lawsuits involving companies he held stock in (guess which side he ruled in favor of). The Republican Majority Leader drops out of the race while under indictment for money laundering. One Republican senator is probably going to end up in jail. Rush Limbaugh breaks narcotics laws. Rumsfeld is caught in a flat-footed lie in a press conference, saying "I never said that," but it had been caught on tape. The President has made it clear that he has no intention of obeying or enforcing some 250 laws, because he don't need no stinkin' laws.
But a Kennedy drove up over a curb. |

Look, captains of damage control. There's a reason why people are thinking 'a pox on both their houses." Sure Democrats win in a generic vote, but not enough to break the blue/red majorities inherent to the districts that are in play.
It's called William Jefferson, who's most assuredly going to be indicted on bribery charges. It's Mollohan's sudden surge of wealth for all the nifty non-profits that employ his close associates that he's funding with federal dollars. It's about the Abramoff directed Indian contributions to people like the Senate Minority Leader who is suddenly picking one tribe against another based on contributions by the tribes involved, along with the returned 'legit' contributions from tribes by Democrats who are returning money that's supposedly clean.
Straw doesn't have to bring up the latest generation of sorry Kennedys to counter the "Culture of Corruption" charges by Pelosi. You guys are doing such a bang-up job all by yourselves that the media can't avoid pointing out your problems.
You're left pointing fingers while your thumb is stuck up your •••.
If you want to win, best you get an idea. Parading your bench and trying to win on personality and virtue is a loser. |

Kennedy has announced he has a a relapse in his prescprition drug problem and is entering rehab at the Mayo Clinic, where he went over Congress' Christmas break.
If this disqualifies him for Congress is an open question. Personally, I think it should be decided by Mr. Kennedy and the voters of Rhode Island. |

Where are those Dems who wanted Rush in prison? Why aren't they calling for Kennedy's head? Is it because they are no better than we are? I love this. Another Kennedy in rehab and Rush is still going strong making the libs crazy. This is going to be fun watching the Dems lose all their momentum. They cried wolf about 3 years too early. |

I doubt there were many liberals calling for Rush to be imprisoned. You see, we tend to be a bit more compassionate (well actually a whole lot more compassionate) with peoples' personal weaknesses and failings, especially when the only victim of one's crime is one's self.
It's the conservatives who cry for longer and longer prison terms for smaller and smaller quantities, and Rush was at the front of the line calling for harsh punishment for people who committed crimes just like his. |

The question wasn't about who wrote posts showing compassion; it was about who called, or didn't call, for a harsh prison sentence.
Just because I'm empathetic enough to not call down the wrath of the federal government on him doesn't mean I have to sob online over his problems. Anyway, don't get bogged down about the actions of any one of us anonymous posters. |

Was Kennedy doctor-shopping, too? Personally, I don't think anyone should go to prison for drug abuse, but there is always a certain pleasure in seeing hot-air balloons like Rush hoisted on the their own petard. |

Here's the big difference between Rush and Kennedy.
Rush's legal problems have been a surprise.
Kennedy's problems are expected.
Remember, Republicans have never elected Rush. Dems on the other hand elected this druggie.

Bad comparison. Cheney was involved in a hunting accident. Now, if he had been high on drugs when he shot his friend this would be an issue. Kennedy as we know was very high on drugs when he crashed his car..
Cheney's shooting was an accident. Kennedy's was a criminal act.

Cheney wasn't high on drugs, he was INTOXICATED!
An accident? Why did he wait so long to report it? Enough time for him to sober-up eh? I say, drinking & hunting don't mix, and had the police given him a sobriety test, this WOULD be a crime. |

Listen, I feel your liberal pain. You are just upset that Rush worked the system beautifully. You didn't get your "got him" moment. No perp walk and no advance notice. Once again a conservative holds his cards close to his chest and blindsides everyone. Your real displeasure should be with the DA who worked this deal for Rush. As for Kennedy, par for the course. |
