You Gotta Love Ted (Osama bin) Kennedy

This was from the Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal. I heard the audio yesterday and it was hilarious. I wonder if Teddy drinks a bit, now and then?

This is very cute: In the Journal Standard of northwest Illinois, Roland Tolliver has a humorous list of predictions for 2005. Here's one for January:

President Bush will have a gala Inauguration Ball spending millions of dollars and he misreads Obama as Osama and doesn't allow him into the party.

This ran yesterday. The day before, it actually happened. The Associated Press (http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20050112-1451-kennedy-democrats.html) notes that a Washington pol "mangled the name of the Democrats' new star, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, calling him 'Osama bin . . . Osama . . . Obama." Only it wasn't President Bush, it was Ted Kennedy.

Except what I heard and read in the linked article didn't make it look like a joke. Teddy just sounded confused. He was definitely stammering or sputtering.

I have yet to see anything that Teddy has done to deserve respect. Let's start off with that drive through Chappaquiddick into the pond...

If Bush had said this, I bet we'd have a million threads on it already, filled with posts about how Bush is a moron.

Maybe it's just such common knowledge with Teddy.
