Kennedy stands by criticism of Bush on Iraq
Bugged-out DeLay says Democratic senator 'went too far'
Castigated by insanely hypocritical rebooblicans on Friday, Sen. Edward Kennedy defended his criticism of the AWOL Wonderboob's policy on Iraq, in which he charged that the threat from Saddam Hussein was exaggerated by the administration for political purposes.
"This is a failed, flawed, bankrupt policy," Kennedy told CNN misadministration cheerleader Judy Woodruff. "The American people want answers."
"It's disturbing that Democrats have spewed more hateful rhetoric at President Bush than they ever did at Saddam Hussein," Tom 'Bugsy' DeLay said in a written statement.
But Kennedy would not back down and said Republicans attack the patriotism of those who question White House policies.
"The fact is the American people are asking the questions," Kennedy said.
Responding to DeLay's call for Democratic presidential candidates to disavow Kennedy's comments, Sen. John Kerry fired back at the Texas lawmaker.
"Tom DeLay is a bully," Kerry said. "He tried to bully Democrats in Texas and we're not going to accept his shrill partisan attacks or allow him to suggest that patriotism belongs to one political party."
