KENNEDY NEPHEW: SENATE CONTENDER AND PROUD CHAVISTA. Not only does Jamie Kirchick have a new essay up on Doublethink Online; he also has a new article up at TNR about the warm feelings of Joe Kennedy II for Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.

With his uncle's passing, Joe II is now a leading contender for the open Senate perch in Massachusetts. Here's the kind of wisdom Joe II might bring to US foreign policy:
Kennedy has gone out of his way to defend and even praise Chavez, telling The Wall Street Journal in 2006 that the caudillo has done “so much more” for his country’s poor than any prior leader...As for concerns about Chavez’s assault on democracy, Kennedy drew a moral equivalence between the manifold abuses of the Chavista regime and our own government, saying that there’s “ample room for improvement in the ways that people get elected in Venezuela as well as in Florida.”
Well, if Hillary can compare Nigeria's outrageous elections to the one in Florida...

from Politico:

"New York Times Magazine's Ed Klein: "I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, “have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?” That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your post seem to be running off
the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post
to let you know.스포츠토토

The design look great though! Hope you get the problem
fixed soon. Cheers
