Time: 00:00 - 00:30
Topic: When Republicans Attack!
Summary: Kirby applauds Congressman Chris Shays (R-CT) for fighting back against the Foley incident by mentioning Ted Kennedy's accident 37 years ago at Chappaquiddick.
Classic Quote 1:
KIRBY: But I think he's right, I mean Ted Kennedy killed someone, and skated on it, and then we've got Denny Hastert, and nobody knows what Denny Hastert did, but now everyone's calling for him to resign, and I love it. What Chris Shay's said, I wish Republicans would fight back.
CARLEEN JOHNSON: Well, and it's a little overdue. And this is kind of the way we tend to do business, sometimes, but I'm glad that they are starting to fight back and jar some memories of this stuff, because it's just been unfair in the last week or so of the coverage, probably two weeks or so. The bias has been something so obvious in front of people's faces, and I hope they see it.
KIRBY: I hope so.

Classic Quote 1:
KIRBY: Now, look, there are a lot of corrupt politicians on both sides. Ted Stevens, the Republican from Alaska? He is an embarrassment to the Republican party. The way that he spends money, the way that he deals with earmarks, it's an embarrassment. And there are a lot of other pigs at the trough. And a lot of the reason why Republicans are in trouble today is because they have exhausted whatever moral and political capital they had. They didn't deal with immigration, when they didn't deal with runaway spending, these are issues that affect people out in the base, and there has been a lot of disappointment.
