Ted Kennedy’s son, he is considered the runt of the litter. On the night (Holy Saturday/Easter Night) that his cousin Willie Kennedy Smith, MD. was accused of raping a woman in Palm Beach at the family compound, Ted was shooting Long Island ice teas with his young son Patches, the traditional Kennedy family Easter libation.
I saw him accept some kind of award at McCoy Stadium (Pawtucket Red Sox) a few years ago and throw out the first pitch. His persona is that of a guy who could not manage the night shift at a Cumberland Farms (New England equivalent of 7-11.)
Yes indeed. By the way someone on the Herald’s comments to the article mentioned it’s the anniversary weekend of Chappaquiddick! Let’s see, Aug 16-17 is this wknd, and I think Chappa. was on Aug 18th...

>>On July 18, 1969, Ted Kennedy gave a a party on Chappaquiddick, a small island connected via ferry to the town of Edgartown on the nearby larger island of Martha’s Vineyard...Kennedy left the party at “approximately 11:15 p.m.” He said that when he announced that he was about to leave, Kopechne told him “that she was desirous of leaving, if I would be kind enough to drop her back at her hotel.” Kennedy then requested the keys to his mother’s car from his chauffeur, Crimmins (etc)
Patches is the runt of the runt!
