In other comments, Kennedy deftly dodged a question about whether foreign-born citizens should be allowed to become president. "I didn't know David Ortiz was planning to run," said Kennedy, referring to the Boston Red Sox slugger who is Dominican. He then looked out at his sister Eunice Shriver, who was in the audience, and said, "Did you hear that, Eunice?" Shriver's daughter Maria is married to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been talked about as a potential presidential contender but was born in Austria.
I know it's not news, but nor should it be forgotten.
What scintillating wit. David Ortiz is too young anyway (born 11/18/1975). Maybe Teddy was thinking of John Kerry's favorite player, Manny Ortez.
