    I thought he bore more than a passing resemblance to a Kennedy.

    1after909. Correct, and before Ted, Tip O’Neal.

    Actually I believe he is based on Ted Kennedy.

    Belfry represents whoever in the government is acting like Belfry. There’s always at least one. At the moment, Newt qualifies as the Serial Polygamist. Boehner qualifies as the first-to-the-bar-once-congress-lets-out.

    Umm … For those who believe the Senator is Newt, you do realize he was never a US Senator. (Nor was Tip O’ Neal or Boehner). Belfry looks like a cross between Ted Kennedy and Howell Heflin.

    Not “Howard”, but “Howell”. He was a southern senator late last century.

    Most “powerful” people who are just really somebody’s pet mouthpiece…Boehner, Limbaugh, etc…can drink and have drug problems. They’re just lap dogs and they have a lot to forget…but they don’t have any thinking of their own to do.

    YOu know, just read the script. It gets delivered every day, and less often but regularly the check from Koch.

    People who do their own plotting and planning…some do drink but are pretty good at putting on being drunk…

    Everything for the chosen effect. The sellouts…Cantor, Issa…have been on the payroll forever.
