Why the Left Is Losing (cont.)

mAss Backwards 1/31/06:

...after Senator Kennedy's little temper tantrum on the floor of the senate yesterday, I would not be surprised in the least to see his office issue a statement exploiting the passing of Mrs. King in a shameless, last-ditch attempt to torpedo the Alito confirmation...


OK, so it wasn't Ted Kennedy, it was Jimmy Carter (like there's an appreciable difference).

And, it wasn't a politically-motivated cheap shot against Alito, but against President Bush.

And, it didn't come from the floor of the Senate, but from the pulpit overlooking the open casket of Coretta Scott King at her funeral.

Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps."


After which Senator Ted Kennedy immediately took the pulpit and apologized to the crowd for the reprehensible actions of his brothers.

Oh, wait.

No, he didn't.

So you see, kids, there really ARE two Americas.

Now, how the Democrats expect to win back the hearts and minds of the larger of the two with disrespectful, shameless rhetoric like this is beyond me. But, keep it coming, folks.
