Cuckoo, Shameless or Both?

That would be the latter as noticed by James:

Glug, Glug, Glug . . . Blogger Joseph Tranfo picks up this comment from Ted Kennedy in an interview with PBS's Charlie Rose:

Kennedy: I think we have to understand now that we're facing a very different challenge, and that is the issue of globalization, and we're either going to get run out of town with the rush towards lower wages and outsourcing, or we're going to embrace it and say, we are going to equip every citizen in this nation with the ability to be able to deal with the problems of globalization, and in that way ensure we're going to have the strongest economy in the next 20 and 30 years, and we will have a national security that will be second to none. And we, I think, are pretty much dead in the water.

What does he mean, "we"? Some of us can swim.

As James noted earlier in the column, "Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment."
