ahhh family values..
I've actually heard, "Hey, the Left went after Sarah Palin" as an excuse.. because sure,it's the same thing
Think you've heard it all?
Naaaah..Leave it to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to one-up Rush Limbaugh in the name-calling department.
"Speaking of prostitutes, big oil's top call girl Sen Inhofe wants to kill fuel economy backed by automakers, small biz, enviros, & consumers," the New York-based environmentalist wrote Tuesday on Twitter.
Kennedy was targeting Inhofe for a letter the Oklahoma Republican sent last week to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson that questions the Obama administration's fuel economy and air pollution policies.
Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey said Kennedy's tweet crosses the line, especially in the wake of Limbaugh’s apology to a Georgetown University student after calling her a ‘prostitute’ during an on-air broadcast.
"It's hard to believe that Robert Kennedy Jr. would choose to use such language — especially this week," Dempsey said. "I bet he now regrets it."
Kennedy told POLITICO that he stands by his tweet.
"Well, I think it's an opportunity for Americans to compare the relative moral positions of the two acts in question and which is more harmful to our country,” he said. “In Sen. Inhofe's case, here's a U.S. senator whose job is to serve the American public who has made a clear and unambiguous choice to serve the moneyed interests of oil companies.”
“The context with which Mr. Limbaugh used it was wrong and immoral,” Kennedy Jr. added. “But it’s not immoral in using it to apply to a politician who is selling his office.”
Amen, brotha, amen!
