Ted can take consolation in the fact the HE
isn't the only black sheep in the family.

And I further suspect it won't taint his legacy among America's liberals

--of course not-because the entirety of the "legacy" is increased government--

The democrat party has proven itself nothing more than a criminal enterprise, staffed by flaming sociopaths.

This is great. It is the only hope Kerry has for the nomination in 2008.

The Clintons are but junior partners in their crime family.

...from the outset it was clear little was expected of him...

And ol Teddy hasn't dissapointed.

Excellent well-written article, thanks for posting it.

I thought this was an article about his menopause.

Hic-up ,hic-up !!!!! BARF.

Comedian Brian Regan does a funny bit on the Kennedy brothers:

"It must have been interesting at the dinner table with the Kennedys. There's John Kennedy - Ask not if someone can pass the salt and pepper to you, ask if you can pass the salt and pepper to someone.

And then Bobby - Some people look at creamed corn and ask why, I look at creamed corn and ask why not.

And then there's Teddy - Are there any more rolls?"

His facial expression of Ted is priceless.

from the outset it was clear little was expected of him.

Referred to by his brother John as "the gay illiterate".

I've often wondered about Ted (the hero of Chappaquidick) Kennedy's shortenened Army service in which he never rose above the rank of Pvt. It would sure be interesting to see his DD214 or other records.

[hflynn]

He was born to play a Falstaffian role, . . . .

Yes indeed, hiccup. And he, hiccup, did it with great, hiccup, GUSTO.

The article read, "Joe Junior, envious of Jack's heroic treatment, volunteered for a very dangerous mission that cost him his life."

I've read a great number of accounts of Joe Junior's death during the war--some of which were hostile to the Kennedy clan. There is no evidence Joseph Kennedy, Jr. was motivated by his younger brother Jack's PT109 exploit to undertake the mission in which he was killed. He was, by all accounts, a daring--even recklessly brave--pilot. I'm all for slamming Teddy Kennedy whenever the occasion arises, but a slur on the motives of a dead war hero killed in action is out of bounds. The author needs to drain the venom from his ink once in awhile.

His challenge to incumbent Jimmy Carter is considered by many a factor in Carter's eventual loss to Ronald Reagan.

Interesting article. I agree with everything except this line. Reagan would have whipped Jimmah regardless of Ted's primary challenge. Of course, if not for Chappaquiddick, Ted might have well been elected POTUS prior to 1980. Mary Jo did not die in vain.

Ted Kennedy's Female Troubles

Ted's got cramps??

The only way to stay a girlfriend of Ted Kennedy is to learn how to float.

[Paul Atreides]

I don't feel one ounce of pity for Ted Kennedy.

And I further suspect it won't taint his legacy among America's liberals.

The only thing that would taint his legacy among America's liberals would be to do something beneficial for this country.

Ted grew up knowing he was named after the family's long-loyal chauffeur, Eddie Moore.

I guess even being named after a chauffeur, won't improve your driving when you are dead drunk.
