Taxpayers Put Millionaire Kennedy Wife Through College: Reggie Family Cost Americans Millions Through Years Of Fraud And Abuse

Breaking News by Dan Riehl

After reading this piece (http://vodkapundit.com/archives/007801.php) on Raymond Reggie at Vodkapundit, research into Raymond Reggie's past turned up more than just one previous family scandal which have already cost taxpayers millions of dollars - and also involve Victoria Reggie, current wife of Senator Ted Kennedy (D) MA.

Reggie family patriarch, Judge Edmund M. Reggie, has a distinguished history which includes being a former Tulane Board Member, a "king-maker" in Louisiana Democrat circles, a convicted criminal whose misdeeds cost taxpayers millions, while also having them pay for the college educations of both Raymond and Victoria Reggie through the abuse of a scholarship fund when his own net worth was established at over $13 Million. In 1992, Reggie was convicted of misapplication of funds of the Acadia Savings & Loan of Crowley, a thrift he founded in 1959 and which failed in 1987.

The Judge has also managed to disparage and attempt to censor a blog, though details suggest he isn't quite clear on what one really is. In a March 10, 2005 telephone call to Dr. Bernofsky, retired judge Edmund M. Reggie, now residing in Lafayette, Louisiana, threatened a lawsuit if the content of this Web page at that time was not immediately removed.

Reggie, 78, who referred to the page as a "blog," claimed that portions of the text were "scurrilous, scandalous and libelous," that they held him up "to public ridicule," and were filled with "half-truths" and "lies." The former Crowley resident also informed Bernofsky that he was taping the nearly hour-long conversation

Why should this be surprising at all. The corruption is rampant throught the government and the courts. Teddy's daddy was a bootlegger, a laws breaker, it's in the Genes I guess! Birds of a feather flock together!!

Yet with all these BREAKING stories, we get a sunday of talk shows about "Bolton and Delay", just like the past 3 weeks.

*sigh*

At least we have all this week to flesh out these things in blogs and TalkRadio... lets see if ANY of this (Ried, then Poloci, and Hillary/Kennedy) gets ANY play (beyond the NYP)

Not sure that further discrediting a witness against Hillary helps the cause much . . .

It seems that the Clinton attack machine has gone into full gear, to discredit Reggie.

A good article on some of Judge Reggie's misdeeds. The Kennedy connection goes back a long way; Judge Reggie ran JFK's campaign in Louisiana, where JFK was not popular.

And here's a list of all the judge's relatives who got free scholarships to Tulane:

Good. Maybe the Kennedy machine will go into full gear to discredit hillary.

The question is, will the Kennedy family and their allies just sit still and twiddle their thumbs while Hillary makes young Reggie roll over and go to jail for her? I don't think so.

Maybe he can't swim or perform rescue diving, but I'll bet he can float like a garbage scow.

"I don't think so"

It really would be fun to watch these families go at it full force. I wonder where I should put my money.

Well, if you were REALLY smart, you'd do what Joe Kennedy did.

He invested all his bootlegging cash (a lot, mind you) in the Dow AFTER the crash of '29.

Then, after Prohibition he quit bootlegging to become a US Ambassador to England. He certainly was qualified, as he was well-acquainted with the Atlantic for at least 200 miles east of the US.

I think Reggie is already spilling his guts to the Fibbies. To me, the issue is whether Rosen will roll over for Hillary or not.

Not likely. If he'd gone long after the '29 crash, he would have lost mosst of his money. The biggest losses occurred during the 30's. I believe he went short.
