The show is great -- hilariously funny, topical, politically oriented, sharp in its satire, and *conservatively* oriented.
The Ted Kennedy jokes were too many to list them all, but one of the funniest is when one of the characters ends up having to drive Ted Kennedy somewhere (long story).
He's driving, and then you can hear him thinking, "...I'm in a car... with a drunk Ted Kennedy... we're driving over a bridge... [scene cuts to car driving over bridge] ...over water... [scene pulls out to show bridge over a river] .... .... [scene goes for a close-up on the driver] ... oh, <bleep>!"
[scene cuts to car splashing down into river]
The character's seatbelt gets stuck and he can't get out of the submerged car, but Ted Kennedy pries it loose with a bottle opener he always has with him(!).
Later they're having a press conference, and the (conservative) character says, "I can't believe I'm standing here telling you that Ted Kennedy saved me from a submerged car." Ted Kennedy butts in, "I had to, there were witnesses this time."
Saw it. and the sequence you described had me rolling! they really put it to old teddy. I hadn't heard about the show when the missus told me about this episode. I hope it stays this good.
