Democrat Fury Grows Over Destroyed CIA Tapes

Please read this excerpt from this news story, and tell me if the word "IRONY" should be stamped all across it.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, charged a cover-up reminiscent of the Watergate scandal that drove President Richard Nixon from office in 1974.

"The past six years, the Bush administration has run roughshod over our ideals and the rule of law," Kennedy said in a speech on the Senate floor. "Now, when the new Democratic Congress is demanding answers, the administration is feverishly covering up its tracks." (H/T - Yahoo!)

I'm sorry, but did Teddy Kennedy just mention the phrase "cover up?" I don't know which made me chuckle more, that comment or the one about the administration "covering up its tracks."
