THere have been several times over the past 5 years when I have said the
thing Kennedy does right is the work he does for his constituents. We can
change that now...

Happy Mother's Day: a friend of mine from Bangalore (You know, the help
dek of the world...)wanted her mother to come for a month, in time for
Mother's day. Three trips to the US Embassy in India have yielded no
results, except for the Embassy...$125 bucks a pop for paperwork
processing fees.

The woman (here) is a US Citizen, so I told her to call Kennedy's office.

"We're sorry, the Senator doesn't want to get involved in anything like
that."

OK, Ted. Your only use is exhausted. Leave, please.

Wouldn't it have been easier for the US citizen to fly to India? Or
maybe start the complicated post 9/11 process sooner? Maybe you
should less self-centered. Maybe you should have called your caring
hero dubya? He would have surely pulled some strings.

Does the mother already have an American passport?

I worry more about the bush's and clinton's being groomed for future
presidential campaigns. I hope chelsea goes back to her hedge fund
job and stay's there. I think we are safe from a jeb bush run for the
white house.

As always, Hachiroachie leaves out most of the causal details to make
some rightwingnut point.

========================

Looks like getting an Indian tourist visa is a piece of cake for American
citizens, unless you're a moron and wait till the last minute:
https://www.indian-visa.com/guidelines?id=1

My guess is the daughter came up with this idea at the last minute, and
she's trying to get her mother a passport really fast. I believe there are
emergency procedures in place for things like sudden illness, but "duh I
forgot" probably isn't going to get anyone a passport quickly.

I'm thinking maybe she wasn't complete in her description of the
Kennedy office response. In my own experience, a junior staffer usually
handles all of these types of complaints by generating a quick letter
to the agency involved. That makes it a priority at the agency and the
case gets some attention. I can't imagine any congressional office
saying what is purported here.

Nothing yet...

There are a couple Republicans running for the office. Kerry has
announced this is his last term.

They won't grant her a US passport. She has one from India.
