Kennedy begins pre-speech games - now C-SPAN 2

[Sydnie]

Seems Ted Kennedy is getting in a speech before the speech. Calling for what blivet** should address tonight.

[Mass]

1. Good news is that their is a concerted effort on that

See letter sent to Bush this morning + kerry's editorial in the NYTimes

I hope they will continue to hammer that throughout the day.

2. What else is he saying

Hope he pounds them really good

All the Democrats should get their digs in now

[Sydnie]

5. It was firm but gentle but now talking about new SC nominee

Asking blivet** to communicate any choices with the Senate for advice and consent before trying to ram someone down their throats. (my words, not his)

3. I just turned to it. Hope I didn't miss too much.

6. Kerry hit Bush in a NYT op ed piece today. Looks like they're tag-teaming.

This adds to the pressure on Bush if he doesn't deliver tonight with the common sense approach outlined by Kennedy and Kerry.

7. Great address!

Kennedy just tore the administration apart!
Does anyone else feel, like I do, that Ted appears to have just woken up from a long sleep? This Senate address today, and his comments a few days a go about Iraq becoming a quagmire, are the most remarkable things I've heard from him it what seems to be a long while. Maybe our party has determined that it's starting to be Okay to be a 'liberal'.
