HYANNIS, Mass. Senator Edward Kennedy attempted to rescue six men who had become trapped by high tide on a jetty off Hyannisport yesterday. The Cape Cod Times reports that Kennedy eventually left the rescue to Hyannis firefighters.
The senator was walking his two dogs on the shore at 11:15 a-m when he spotted the men cut off from shore by the rising waters.
They had been fishing on a jetty that begins at the tip of the Kennedy compound. Tides rose over the patchy rocks, make it difficult to walk back to shore.
Kennedy and a friend tried to rescue the men in a 13-foot boat but rough waters forced them back.
A crew from the Hyannis Fire Department picked them up. The men, in their 20s, were not identified. They were brought to Cape Cod Hospital with mild hypothermia.

There was no car involved. That would've been an exciting rescue.

All he would have needed to do is get that wale ass of his in the water, make sure his blow hole was up, and let them all float in on his wretched carcass (Alcohol is less dense than water as I recall)

Fat Boy coulda waddled out to them, flopped on his back, and let them paddle him back to shore.

But if Ted waded in, wouldn't the water he would displace sweep away the fishermen? Could it not possibly flood the state of Massachusetts?
