TED KENNEDY, NEANDERTHAL
After today’s U.S. Senate debate on Bush’s judicial nominees Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) said, "What has not ended is resolution and determination of members of the U.S. Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court."
So, an Ecuadorian immigrant, Harvard Law educated, is a Neanderthal. A black woman judge, re-elected with 75% of voters in California, is a Neanderthal. Kennedy’s language is that of someone with no fear of reprisal – the press will not interrogate him or his colleagues. What do the presidential candidates think of such language? How about you, Carol Mosley-Braun? How do you feel about your former colleague, Senator Kennedy, calling another ambitious black woman, judge Janice Brown, a Neanderthal? If any of you become president, would you mind if Republicans call your judicial nominees Neanderthals?
