ENCORE UPDATE ON TEDDY MORPHING INTO JOE McCARTHY!

The Captain’s Quarters Ed Morrissey brings up Teddy Kennedy’s growing resemblance to Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin, another Irishman whose love for the sauce finally overwhelmed his reasoning powers.

Morrissey neglects to point out that Teddy’s late lamented brother Bobby worked for Joltin’ “Congress needs a Tail-Gunner” Joe McCarthy before Bobby’s mid-life conversion to ultra-liberal hogwash.

Also, bitch-slapped Teddy doesn’t mind extensively quoting from articles that Judge Sam Alito had already said he never had read and implying that Alito agreed with the articles because he had once said he was a member of CAP. Teddy wastes everybody's time, but that's why they call him a wastrel!

JOE McCARTHY WOULD HAVE SAID THAT TEDDY WAS A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK OF HIS Fascistic POPPY JOE KENNEDY, the sire of the brood that has ended in Teddy's hyperventilating hysterical leftist blood-sausage censorship of reading materials!

TEDDY is evidently becoming the SCION and truest son of his HITLER-LOVING DADDY! Just took Teddy longer to get to the dogmatic dictatorship mode than his precocious pappy!

This is the same vaudeville-slapstick-artist Teddy who had formerly whimpered about the Patriot Act looking into library records to see who took out certain subversive books ABOUT MAKING ATOMIC BOMBS FROM SCRATCH! Demogoguery or Buffoonery? The Senior Senator from Taxachusetts is starting to see snakes, or pick up gene-vibes from his Secret Santa Joe McCarthy. Or both.

Finally, this following is not linked, but is in a WaPo blog about why Arlen bitch-slapped Teddy so ferociously in public and may be what motivated Arlen if he knew that Teddy was going to try to blindside him with the silly subpoena request.

"According to Senate Judiciary sources, Sen. Ted Kennedy this morning was informed that a number of media outlets - including the New York Times, as well as both Democratic and Republican staff from the committee - had reviewed a wealth of documents related to Concerned Alumni of Princeton and that there was no evidence that Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito played a major role personally or financially in the organization at any time. This information was passed to Kennedy after he raised the issue of possibly requesting a subpoena for all of CAPs documents before he entered the hearing room for the third day of confirmation hearings. “We told him we’d gone through it, and that seemed to be the end of it,” says a committee staffer. So big surprise that despite knowing what he needs to know, Kennedy decided to simply create a few moments of entertaining political theater for the nightly news."

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true.
