Kennedy Flubs Facts in First Call to Talk Show

Screeners for the Rush Limbaugh show best be on the lookout.

Not only has Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., begun calling talk shows, he got his facts wrong during his very first foray into the medium on C-Span's Sunday Morning Journal.

Phoning in unexpectedly as "Ted from Boston," Kennedy began by touting the Democratic version of the economic stimulus program and praising C-Span guest AFL-CIO Chief John Sweeney.

But when host Steve Scully asked about Friday's Senate debate on the administration's anti-terrorist budget, Kennedy flubbed an important detail - vastly overstating the number of Americans killed in the recent spate of anthrax attacks.

Call before you get started on that first one, Teddy.

DesertFox, that's probably a great idea, but he'll have to get up very early or he may miss the show.

Kennedy Flubs Facts in First Call to Talk Show

Senator Kennedy's had memory problems ever since, oh, about July, 1968.

That's when he almost drowned in what the media types called "Another Kennedy Tragedy."

We don't hear much about AKT nowadays; "Only About Sex" replaced that catchphrase for a while.

Let's see, Kennedy, Clinton, Condit... What a tradition! images/icons/cool.gif

Ted Kennedy's mind was pickled a long time ago. Have any of you heard the gibberish tape that Rush loves to play of Teddy introducing Bill Clinton at a rally?

There was a joke at the time amongst law officers. It goes:
Ted and Mary Jo Kopeckne are starting to drive away from a party. Mary Jo says" Ted, I think I'm pregnant." Ted replies" We will cross that bridge when we come to it."

Dave, I remember that joke. Good lord, I'm old.

[DesertFox]

"Quaff, oh quaff that kind nepenthe
and forget the lost whassername."
