Bridge over troubled water
Ted Kennedy on Katrina:
Yesterday, the President and the White House spokesman proclaimed that the Administration would not play the blame game. Well Mr. President, this is not a game. This is not some school yard spat. It is about life and death. And most important, it’s about getting it right the next time. We must be about the work of providing continuing relief to our citizens and rebuilding our communities. But we also cannot delay the important task of determining what went so gravely wrong, and holding accountable those responsible for the tragic failures that Americans have seen so clearly on their televisions and read in their newspapers.
Those of you who know my political leanings are about to be shocked. I think we need to defer to Teddy on this matter and not question his authority. He has proven himself to be a an expert on victims of water disasters and lack of accountability.

Knew you'd like that one, Stewdog. You always love a good Chappaquiddick slam on the bloated one.
