Ted Kennedy Steps On The Slippery Slope

Lifelong totalitarian Ted Kennedy favors school vouchers?

The Massachusetts senator's staff insisted yesterday that the measure is not a voucher but a "pragmatic" way to get much-needed funds to private schools that have taken in many victims of Katrina.

"This bill puts the interests of the children victimized by Katrina ahead of politics and ideological battles," Kennedy said in statement. "It puts in place an efficient and temporary system to get the necessary aid to the schools without further delay."

If only liberals would put the "interest of children" ahead of special interests all the time.
