Crazy On A Ship Of Fools

Jabba The Hut Backs Kerry…

Ted Kennedy today announced his support for John Kerry, if Kerry decides to run in 2008.

Nothing that Ted Kennedy does surprises me anymore.

BOSTON (AP) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy said Wednesday he would back fellow Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 - even if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton also pursues a White House bid.

"If he runs, I would support him," Kennedy told The Associated Press in an interview at his Boston office.

While Kennedy has frequently entertained the New York senator and her husband, former President Clinton, he said his loyalty is to Kerry. Early polling shows Clinton and Kerry among the favorites for their party's nomination in 2008, but neither has said for sure whether they'll run.

Kennedy called Kerry, the 2004 nominee, an "able, gifted and talented political leader."

He criticized President Bush's leadership and said of the American people: "Every day, I think they regret that John wasn't elected."

"We haven't had accountability and we haven't had real leadership in dealing with these issues and problems," he said, "and that's what I hear more than anything else."

The White House had no immediate comment.

Does anyone but me notice a trend here?

This story was apparently written to announce a well known drunken, murdering, alcoholic expressing his endorsement for the candidacy of a well known, discredited, politically defeated liar, but the Associated Press can't stop there.

Gotta use the opportunity to poke at Bush a little...

Out of 219 words, the article spends 49 of them, nearly 25%, criticizing the president.

In the same statement Kennedy calls Kerry “able, gifted and talented” he also describes President Bush as unaccountable and lacking real leadership. So much for having unbiased opinions...

Then the article mentions that the “White House had no immediate comment.”

Why the heck would the White House have to respond to Kennedy putting his scotch glass down and picking his head up off the bar long enough to endorse Kerry?

Can’t the Associated Press and their reporters remember that George Bush won't be running for office in 2008, no matter who Kennedy endorses for President?

Yeah, I thought so...
