( 10/26/2003 ) Hard-drinking Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy appeared to be so confused on the Senate floor last week that he prompted ''audible gasps'' from his colleagues by mistakenly voting for two pieces of legislation he was known to oppose - only to have his votes corrected later. ''The Senate chamber was filled with audible gasps last Tuesday when Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the pro-choice champion, clearly voted 'yes' on final passage of the bill to ban partial-birth abortion,'' columnist Robert Novak reported Sunday. Kennedy also botched his vote on Democratic-backed amendment to require partial Iraqi repayment of U.S. reconstruction aid by inadvertently siding with the White House. The fumble required the intervention of Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who had to explain what happened to Kennedy and get him to change his vote. ''Kennedy Says Iraq War a Political Product'' ( 1/15/2004 ) The Iraq war was a ''political product'' marketed by the Bush administration to win elections, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said in a speech Wednesday. As a result, Kennedy said, Bush and the Republicans in Congress ''put the state of our nation at risk, and they do not deserve another term in the White House or in control of Congress.'' In a speech sponsored by the Center for American Progress, a liberal advocacy group, Kennedy said the Bush administration's decisions to target Saddam Hussein, go to war in Iraq and transfer sovereignty to the Iraqi people have all been made for Republican political gain and timed to influence American elections in 2002 and 2004. Kennedy said the administration's march to war in Iraq did not make America safer, but instead has given Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida new life and made the war on terrorism harder to win.
