Registered: SEP 2003	posted 04-05-2004 02:52 PM You all remember through extraneous history or were old enough to have watched it play out that Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge in Massachusetts on his way to an island with Mary Joe Kopechne in the late 60s. He did not seek help to rescue her when he surfaced, instead he made his way to a hotel and called friends. He reported the accident the next morning. She was, needless to say , dead and wet. Kennedy faced no type of censure or reprimand much less any legal action for his negligent act of manslaughter. You have to love the chutzpah of Rumsfeld. ********************************************************* February 5, 2004 Rumsfeld: Kennedy all wet about Bush lies [5 feb 04] Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told Sen. Edward M. Kennedy yesterday that he is all wet when the Senator alleged that the Bush administration lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to justify the war. The verbal exchange came as Mr. Rumsfeld's testimony before the senate armed service committee on the pre-war intelligence before the war. The Senator began his questioning of Defense Secretary by saying, " don't you think some members of the Bush administration should be held legally accountable for the lies they told about Iraq weapons and the subsequent cover-up"? "First, with all due respect Senator, your all wet", said Mr. Rumsfeld. '"The administration has not lied or covered up". However in general, I do believe that when a man commits a crime he should face the bar of justice. He should not be allowed to serve in positions of power in our government, and be hailed as a leader, when the question of his guilt remains unresolved. If you know what I mean" " I'm sure I don't know what you mean", the Senator said. "But the American people deserve to know why you can't find the weapons of mass destruction" "Sometimes things are hard to find, even if you know where they are",Rumsfeld said. " For example. I've heard of a man who missed a bridge and drove his car into the water, even though he knew where the bridge was. And then sometimes you keep diving into a problem despite repeated efforts you come up empty handed. That doesn't mean that nothings there. As you know, eventually, the truth comes to light" Having no further questions, Mr. Kennedy yielded the remainder of his time.

dbudner Prowler Junkie Posts: 1391 From: Dallas, Ga. USA Registered: SEP 2002	posted 04-06-2004 01:40 PM I wish it were true that Rummy said that. The fact that the news wasn't blasted with it as headlines leads me to believe the contrary. Other possibilities could be - it didn't happen or two - the media is full of liberals and wouldn't publicize such a great burn by the repubs...
