Talking Ted Kennedy helps out





Shocked by the widespread suffering of those displaced from their homes by the flooding in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) volunteered to plug one of the holes in the Lake Pontchartrain levee.
"The Bush Administration has failed to stem the tide of this cataclysm," said Kennedy. "I have had some experience with aquatic mishaps. This experience will bolster me in this hour of desperation as I plug one of the leaks myself."



President Bush praised Senator Kennedy's decision. "I think it's mighty big of him to offer so much for the good of the country," said Bush. "There aren't many who could fill such a large role in this disaster."

Good use for him, another swim might sober him up a bit.

Awwww, leave the poor guy alone! Who knows, maybe he CAN do some good.
He could plug a fairly large breach. Or maybe he could serve as an anchor for one of the flailing oil rigs. Maybe even a counter-weight for one of the pile driving rigs.


At any rate, I'm sure we can find some use for him, but we can drive off that bridge when we get to it.

I don't see how he can be effective plugging a hole in a levee. He has had his share of problems, but somehow he always manages to keep his head above water. And we all know the holes in the levees are 25 below the surface (according to Louis F)
