Who Said It?

Guess who said it:

"When the Founders wrote the Constitution and gave the Senate the power of advice and consent on Presidential nominations, they never intended the Senate to work against the President, as this Senate is doing, by engaging in a wholesale stall and refusing to act on large numbers of the President's nominees."


Are those words from Dick Cheney? Bill Frist? Tom DeLay?

Nope, they're the words of the Democrat Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy. Reading them one could imagine that he's talking about today's contentious battle over judicial nominees in the Senate, but in reality he was speaking of President Clinton's nominees back in 1999.

Its amazing what a Republican President can do to a liberal Senator's principles, isn't it?

To paraphrase Ann Coulter, the best part about being a liberal is that history always begins this morning.

Great call on the “Swingin’With Dino” CD in your Amazon ads.

Thanks.

It doesn’t get much better than Dean Martin.
