RFK Jr: Money for Pols = Science Fiction Nightmare!
RFK Jr. rips Bush on enviro policy. Great quote, worthy of filing away for future reference:
“We’re living in a science-fiction nightmare in this country … because somebody gave money to a politician.”
Nothing on K-lite’s thoughts re Gore’s enviro practices, speaking of science fiction nightmares. Or Bush’s. Also nothing on any nightmares anyone might be living in this country because some rumrunner left a vast fortune to his wild tribe of … politicians.
Which raises the question … how much energy does that tribe of Kennedys burn up per month in that Hyannis compound within eyeshot of the eco-friendly Cape Wind energy project they’re so opposed to?
SCI-FI UPDATE: The dollar coin isn’t the only thing that’s loonie in Canada. Former defense minister wants world government to give up the dirt on UFOs and put that alien technology to work vs. global warming!
Speaking of Gore, Surber is shocked, shocked by the hypocrisy.
Stop wacking Gore, says Gore’s (carbon neutral) spokeswoman. He spends lots of money trying to make his mansion less of an oil guzzler, you peasants!
(Welcome Punditeers … sun’s over the yardarm, pull up a chair and pour yourself a run-rum punch. Never mind those lecturing do-gooders with their Kennedy chompers, we’ve got a horse-faced Windsor over here who’s dissing the peasant food. Keep an eye on the kids, there’s a Transylvanian perv on the loose thanks to his prison-penned Vlad yarn. Speaking of jailbirds, Jose Padilla has been hoisted by his own petard. Support the troops? Heck, they can support themselves! See what our resourceful GIs plan to do after Murtha cuts their funding. In Baghdad, the brain trust gives us six months or bust! Meanwhile, we’re having a chinwag about evolution and old time conservative values.)

Yeah, RFK gave a speech here in town last month……I missed it (thank Gaia), but the local fishwrap was quite enthusiastic about it: Environmental policies subvert U.S. democracy, Kennedy, Jr. claims.
Going downhill fast, ain’t he?

Did little Bobbie, mention anything about Gran’ Paw?
In 1919, he joined the prominent stock brokerage firm of Hayden, Stone & Co. where he became an expert in dealing in the unregulated stock market of the day, engaging in tactics that would later be labeled insider trading and market manipulation.
During Prohibition, Kennedy amassed a large fortune thanks to his illegal bootlegging of alcoholic beverages.
Kennedy rejected the warnings of Winston Churchill that compromise with Nazi Germany was impossible; instead he supported Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement in order to stave off a second world war that would be a more horrible “armageddon” than the first. (The appeasement gene run deep)
According to Harvey Klemmer, who served as one of Kennedy’s embassy aides, Kennedy habitually referred to Jews as “kikes or sheenies.” Kennedy allegedly told Klemmer that “[some] individual Jews are all right, Harvey, but as a race they stink. They spoil everything they touch.” When Klemmer returned from a trip to Germany and reported the pattern of vandalism and assault on Jews by Nazis, Kennedy responded “well, they brought it on themselves.”
On June 13, 1938, Kennedy met with Herbert von Dirksen, the German ambassador in London, who reported to Berlin that Kennedy had told him that “it was not so much the fact that we want to get rid of the Jews that was so harmful to us, but rather the loud clamor with which we accompanied this purpose. [Kennedy] himself fully understood our Jewish policy.” Kennedy’s main concern with such violent acts against German Jews as Kristallnacht was that they generated bad publicity in the West for the Nazi regime, a concern he communicated in a letter to Charles Lindbergh.
OH. I didn’t know this until just this moment Edward Moore Kennedy. Moore, huh? Well both are sloven fat asses. How did the “Ted” name come about?
And this specimen of a missing gene, gene pool that does business with Hugo ‘Che Jr.’ Chavez, is worried about “Environmental policies subvert U.S. democracy”?
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (b. January 17, 1954), often referred to as RFK Jr. or Bobby Jr., is the third of eleven children born to Ethel Skakel Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. He is an environmental lawyer and co-host of Ring of Fire on the Air America Radio network.
Since May 2005 he’s been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post, a blog run by Arianna Huffington. In September 2005, he wrote a story for the blog entitled For Those That Sow the Wind Shall Reap the Whirlwind, in which he tried to connect the increasing strength of hurricanes to global warming and blamed higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on President George W. Bush’s refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol. He has angered many environmentalists with his opposition to the construction of the Cape Wind wind power project on the grounds that it would destroy the scenic view from seaside homes.

Junior’s vice wasn’t rum.

Isn’t it nice when one can afford the luxury of their convictions, especially when they will never face the consequences of their pet projects. I think they ought to be the first the suffer such consequences. Let them give up their views, their private jets, their (several) enormous homes, fleets of cars, the health system that exists via the drug companies they hate and the petroleum products they would ban, etc. The list of all they are anti- is endless.
I don’t begrudge anyone what they’ve earned, but they certainly do. Perhaps it is because they’ve never had to earn theirs.

The only two Kennedy’s that might (potentially) have been worth more than a warm bucket of spit both got shot.
