Ted Kennedy Says Something Ignorant? No Kidding?
I listened to Mike Gallagher on the way to work this morning, and he had quite a few objections with the thoughtless, inappropriate remarks made by Ted Kennedy on Monday in regard to the Iraqi Prisoner situation.
As a refresher, Sen. Kennedy had this to say:
Kennedy sickens me. Anytime an elected official uses an unfortunate incident, or even a tragedy, to score political points, you can bet that Kennedy is involved. If for no other reason, the assassinations of JFK and RFK had horrible repercussions on this country, because they allowed the black sheep of that family to ascend into the upper echelon of American politics.
Kennedy, as blogger T. Bevan notes, is an "oxygen thief." (Thanks to InstaPundit for the link).
Bevan writes:
The sad thing is that Moore makes more of a contribution to society than Kennedy, not that it takes much to earn that distinction.

As a refresher, Sen. Kennedy had this to say:
"On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked, 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?'. Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management."

What sort of dysfunctional moral compass must one have to make such a comparison?
It's one thing for someone like Michael Moore to utter garbage like this at the film festival in Cannes. It's something altogether different for one of the country's highest elected officials to speak these words in the well of the United States Senate.
The sad thing is that Moore makes more of a contribution to society than Kennedy, not that it takes much to earn that distinction.
