“I’m not sure where Arnold [Schwarzenegger] gets his political instincts. People often say that for Kennedys, it’s in the water.” – Sen. Ted Kennedy, quoted by the Associated Press, June 27
Best of the Web has a headline, kicking story about Maureen Dowd’s idiotic column bashing Clarence Thomas for daring to vote against affirmative action.
