Poor Teddy!

After his comparison of the U.S. Government to the regime of Saddam Hussein came out, understandably some people were upset about it. Did Kennedy apologize? Perhaps suggest that he may have been over the line? Try to clarify his position? Nope, he fell back on the old Hillary tool, the vast right wing conspiracy!

SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Here's what you said on May 11. I want to read a little bit of a comment about this abuse at the prison. "Shamefully now we learn that Saddam's torture chambers have reopened under new management, United States management." There are some critics who say you went way over the line on that, and, in fact, that was a woeful exaggeration. How do you respond to that?

KENNEDY: That is part of the Republican attack machine, and I reject it.
