'Paul Kirk? Sorry, he delivers nothing,' Part III
Do you think lawmakers would have passed the succession bill had they known it was for Paul Kirk? The Duke was used as bait. Then came the switch. Asking him to fill out a financial-disclosure form before the vote was a nice touch. Wasn't it? ...
But the Duke just keeps taking it, reminding one and all he really wouldn't have stood up to the Soviets. ... Ah, just another $20 million request from the Kennedys. ... The 'emergency preamble,' thanks to Mitt and Deval, has morphed into the exact opposite of its intent: Those opposing the move must now prove it will not cause an emergency.
Some final questions before I get accused of obsessive ranting:
1. Why do I have this feeling that part of Tom Hagen's job is to find new jobs elsewhere for Kennedy staffers?
2. Do you think John Kerry could help out responding to those 800 constituent inquiries? Never mind.
3. What time was Kennedy's will filed yesterday?*
4. Who were the Kennedy friends and advisers pushing for a succession-law change last June?
5. What did David Bernstein know and when did he know it? **
6. Is Susan Fargo giving interviews?
7. How do you like your one-party state this morning?
* I'm guessing it was filed around 10:45 a.m., for noble 'transparency' reasons.
** Just kidding. But it does show someone was paying attention and guessed at the end fix, well before anyone else had a clue.
P.S. -- The Kennedys are going to be furious over this. She was scheming before the senator had even died! ... Ah, never mind. See point 4.
P.S.P.S. -- I now assume there won't be much of a Duke-supporter backlash. I mean, if the Duke won't stand up for himself then ... The disgruntled among the Hack-Progressive Alliance will eventually calm their temporary outrage. They usually do.
