Ted Kennedy is a drunken idiot

No, really. He is. I do apologize if that offends you, but he's a few fries shy of a Happy Meal and it's really beginning to show. OK, it's really continuing to show. I'm listening to the "gavel to gavel" coverage of Alito's Supreme Court confirmation hearings on NPR and that Irish-American Masshole is cracking me up. He keeps requesting the same thing over and over and finally the Chairman had to bitch-slap him into submission. "No, Senator, what you are in the position to do is heed my ruling since I am the Chairperson of this Committee!" Get 'im, Specter!

(I can't believe I'm actually siding with Specter on anything other than being a Pennsylvanian)

If you can possibly catch the clip of last night's Daily Show where Jon Stewart skewers Kennedy you should. It's fabulous television.
