Arlen Specter seen here in his role of Dr. Benedict Evil in Austin Power's "The Senator who Screwed Us." Arlen Specter lambasted his critics who said that yet another verbal snafu is a sign of the Senator's increasing senility. Last week, Specter told one group he was proud to have the endorsement of the College Republicans, even though he's running as a Democrat. A really, really senile Democrat. "I want to tell all my detractors that I am not senile," said Specter. "I am a traitor, a Benedict Arnold, a turncoat, a conniving politician. So, get it right." Specter said his misidentification of the endorsement simply reflects his desperate, manipulative attempt to stay in power by any means possible. "To suggest that I am going senile is an insult," Specter said. "I have worked long and hard trying to tarnish my name among the faithful of both parties and toss the name 'Arlen Specter' into the trashbin of history as a, at best, crackpot, and at worst, a traitorous, power-hungry autocrat who represents all that is wrong with late-20th century, early 21st century politics." According to Specter, the insults are hurting his poll numbers, but he may switch to the Whig Party for a better shot at spending ten years wasting taxpayer money and ruining the country. Members of the College Whigs have endorsed Specter's run on a Whig ticket.
