Well Srex, when you speak of Senator teddy, one should acknowledge that Senator teddy is pretty good on the anthrax, I'm sorry I mean the facts. Here is a recent example. Kennedy Flubs Facts in First Call to Talk Show Screeners for the Rush Limbaugh show best be on the lookout. Not only has Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., begun calling talk shows, he got his facts wrong during his very first foray into the medium on C-Span's Sunday Morning Journal. Phoning in unexpectedly as "Ted from Boston," Kennedy began by touting the Democratic version of the economic stimulus program and praising C-Span guest AFL-CIO Chief John Sweeney. But when host Steve Scully asked about Friday's Senate debate on the administration's anti-terrorist budget, Kennedy flubbed an important detail - vastly overstating the number of Americans killed in the recent spate of anthrax attacks. "We have former Gov. Ridge saying we're going to have to spend billions of dollars next year.... The terrorists aren't waiting till next year. They're planning today." Kennedy complained. "We've had 19 deaths because of anthrax and I think we ought to invest in what is necessary now," the leading Democrat claimed. In fact, only five Americans have died so far as a result of anthrax infections. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
