Tweety opened Hardball with the Arlen Specter - Ted Kennedy dust-up...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Specter really, really, really tried to make Kennedy his bee-yatch in front of the cameras. Said something like "I WILL NOT HAVE YOU RUN THIS COMMITTEE..."

Catch the start of the Hardball repeat in two hours if you want to see / hear it.

And to Arlen Specter, If you're lurking here on DU: BITE ME.

:evilgrin:

Here's how Reuters is recounting the incident:

Sen. Edward Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), a Massachusetts Democrat, got into a dispute with Chairman Arlen Specter over his request the committee vote to subpoena records of the disbanded group called Concerned Alumni of Princeton, or CAP.

1. Notice the use of the word "disbanded."

Message = old news...nothing to see here...went the way of the Pony Express...Dems are evil...Robert Byrd was a KKK member.

You get the idea.

2. if arlen specter had any real power & were not a duplicitous man he would

have allowed kennedy to proceed for honesty and integrity in the alito record instead of the bullshit alito has been feeding them and us as per ed gillespie's advise, who, himself, is probably being coached by poppy-i'll-have-it-my-way-vengeful-bush.

and yes.... i hope alen specter is lurking around these pages. he can read what people really think about his half assed stinking job!

3. I can't watch that idiot

Matthews once, much less twice. Between his rude tone and the way he won't let anyone answer a fricking question without interrupting the hell out of them, I just can't watch him. I switch over to CNN while he is on.
