Senator Kennedy: "When does the greed stop!"

[cynatnite]

Every member of DU has a responsibility to watch this great American fight for us. I'm sure this has already been posted and I'm ashamed I didn't watch it sooner.

We should shame every repuke who wouldn't allow this vote to happen. Monday morning I'm calling my worthless senators, Corker and Alexander.

on edit: It brought tears to my eyes.

1. Have you noticed how sophomoric and dumb Bob

Corker sounds when he opens his mouth at Senate hearings. Totally unoriginal every time.

2. I watched him debate Ford...

He sounded uninformed and flat. Ford was far more knowledgeable and had life in his face unlike Corker. I disagree with Ford on some things, but he would have been a far better senator.

5. I didn't look...

I rec'd it when I saw it after posting this. I'm still blown away by that speech. It moved me.

4. I love Ted Kennedy. He can fight for me any time he wants!

Thanks for the post I missed it. He's so passionate. Why doesn't the MSM report on things like this? Oh, right.

6. KO should do a greatest person on his show...Teddy would win...

Here is the original post if you haven't seen it.
