About a month ago, the Kennedy-McCain Immigration Bill was introduced. As I remember the details back then, it appeared that John McCain had sneaked into the enemy camp (again) and smoked the peace pipe with old Ted (again). At any length, the bill was presented by the media as being entirely a “Senate deal”, with compromises on both sides. Ted was even on "Inside Politics" and "Face the Nation" to discuss “his” bill.
Now, a month later, the bill is “deader than Kelsey’s nuts” and what do we hear from the reliable Main Stream Media? We hear that the immigration bill is now a defeat for George Bush! Wait a minute! What happened to Ted? He has disappeared behind the magic curtain like a Vegas magician.
So, when will Ted Kennedy make his miraculous reappearance? He will pop back on stage seconds after the bill receives a successful vote in the Senate; taking his bows (and all the credit).
However, if the bill stays dead, will Ted remain “disappeared”?
Naa, no one can pull off a trick THAT good.
