“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Today Ted Kennedy Said Labels Don't Have Much Meaning, But He Likes To Use 'Em

LABELS DON'T MEAN MUCH?

Sen. Ted Kennedy Said Kerry Believes Labels Don't Mean Anything. ABC'S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Is John Kerry a liberal?" SEN. TED KENNEDY (D-MA): "You know, he'd say probably is -- I've listened to him say labels really don't have much meaning today." (ABC's "This Week," 7/25/04)

Do the headline and the story not jive? The headline says that Kennedy says labels don't have much meaning, but the story states Kennedy attributes that claim to Kerry. The rest of the piece takes quotes from Kennedy where he calls certain bills "right wing" and other nonsense. Like trying to label Kerry as liberal isn't the same thing.

How misleading can a political party get?
