Oh, come on now. He only killed one girl and tried to sell his country out to the Soviets. Surely you can’t hold that against him.
Sadly, almost no Americans under the age of 40 know any of this.
You are judging Teddy Kennedy by the wrong standards. According to Democrat party standards he deserves the medal.
But but but, he’s a kennedy, he automatically qualifies for the medal of honor, forget about the plane crash in ‘64, the plane that fat teddy was flying, the same plane that crashed and killed two people, forget about his immigration policy from ‘68, forget about MaryJo in ‘69 , forget about Au Bar in Palm Springs in ‘91, teddy is an great american,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/SARC OFF
Ted did not vote in the Senate the last vote or two, I’ve noticed.
Maybe he is too busy talking and meeting with his constituents ?
Didn’t Teddy take his nephew to the Palm Beach bar, where he (nephew) was eventually accused of raping a girl? The man was in his 50’s or 60’s, and wanted to go out partying with his nephew.
It was after this event that the rehabilitation of Teddy’s public image began, he became the ‘lion’ of the senate, whatever. The media fawning over him, after his death, will surpass Cronkite.
I was also under the impression that he cheated at UVA and was suspended. Not true?
‘Ol Brain dead Overfed Ted.
True enough...but on a more upbeat note he most assuredly deserved the Lenin Peace Prize he was awarded in 1968.
