1. The talking heads are trying to figure out how to pronounce it.
and the bloggers are trying to figure out how to spell it.

It'll be a while... :boring:

11. Explaining the "11th hour incident" would take too much time from
Britney, Natalie, 'the snub'......................................


Too much time, where are the $$$$$$$ ?

14. They've got two more effective words to use.
One is "lesbian," the other begins with an "n" and I'll let you guess what that is, and they will be used a LOT once the primaries are over.

25. You ain't seen nothin' yet, allalone!
The "L" word and the "N" word will not be used publicly by Republicans. No need. They won't even allow their media flunkies to use it (although Limbaugh and Coulter will get close to it). They will simply spread it underground through whispers. Whether it's "Can you believe that L-word will be chewing the carpet in the White House?" or "That dirty un-washed N-word will be raping white women in the Oval Office!" the word will spread through the bottom-dwelling parts of Republicandom.

The ideal Rovian payoff would be, of course, for some untraceable psychotic to go nuts and assassinate the Democratic candidate. You don't think anyone could be that angry at Obama or Clinton? Have you read the posts here recently? Just think what the Retardicons are thinking!

16. Most of them are too young to remember Chappaquidick
As is most everyone else. It would resonate with voters about as much as claiming that the Kennedys are descended from Genghis Khan.

19. well I did a search. I found the abortion things, but

it was his old girlfriend. ah, well, better to not have a rumor if another guy.

21. Because it's dumb?
People who want to off somebody do not risk their own lives driving off bridges into murky waters.

22. They were beaten to it by some DUers
who flung that crap out after Teddy's endorsement a couple of days ago. It was sick and repulsive to see that garbage right here. Anyone who threw that shit out here should hang their head in shame! :grr:

PS ... I don't mean you cause you were only asking. I'm talking about some bitter soreheads who flung shit on Teddy two days ago.

31. It's too early. Democrats are still beating up Democrats. They don't need to intervene...yet
I have no doubt they have massive arsenal ready for either of our candidates when they get the nod.
You can take THAT to the bank.

Bamalot!

They love Obama. For now. Until they kill Hillary's chances.

35. Because investigators now know to bring up MK-ULTRA abuses!
This incident was not fully considered in relation to "why" it happened to Kennedy.
There is reason to suspect he was targeted and the incident was no "accident."

36. Hannity was all over Chappaquidick last night
Couldn't shut up about it.
My husband just can't resist switching over to Faux to see what they're saying.
Makes me crazy.
