So after sitting on pins and needles since yesterday, while word leaked out everywhere, we finally learn that Jabba the Kennedy endorses *shockah* a Democrat. (LA Times link<\/a>);<\/p>\n

Declaring that “it is time for a new generation of leadership” in America, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president Monday, wrapping the young politician in the mantle of America’s best-known political dynasty.<\/p>\n

He was joined in a cavernous gymnasium at American University here by his niece Caroline and his son, Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy of Rhode Island, both of whom also threw their support behind the youthful Illinois senator. They likened Obama to their best-loved relative, President Kennedy.<\/p>\n

“With every person he meets, every crowd he inspires, and everyone he touches,” Sen. Kennedy said, Obama “generates new hope that our greatest days as a nation are still ahead, and this generation of Americans, like others before us, can unite to meet our own rendezvous with destiny.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can just see the hearts floating around that gymnasium. Gateway Pundit<\/a> and Jammie Wearing Fool<\/a> have all of the relevant links. Blue Star Chronicles<\/a> and Bob’s Blog<\/a> has the video. Michele Malkin<\/a> live blogs the press conference;<\/p>\n

Kennedy just referred to the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153better angels of our nature.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Again: What would he know about that?<\/p>\n

My eyes. My ears.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Matthews compared Kennedy to King Arthur and said of the liberal Senator’s speech: “Today we got a glimpse of the early 1960s when politics was alive.” The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson admitted it gave him “goose-bumps,<\/strong>” and MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle called it “electric.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Sister Toldjah<\/a>; Former Clinton fan, Toni Morrison, throws Hillary under the bus for Obama – skin pigment is thicker than pointless blather, I suppose.<\/p>\n

Redstate<\/a> catches NOW feminists angry at Teddy (no not for murdering a woman);<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because Hillary is a woman and she therefore deserves the endorsement. Check out the letter:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Hot Air<\/a> reports that the NOW president in New York<\/a> called it a psychological gang bang of Hillary. Too many visuals for me to be comfortable discussing that one.<\/p>\n

My cousin, Scott, just emailed me this;<\/p>\n
