Conservative activists aree eager to point out that Sen Ted Kennedy was on shaky ground accusing the Judge Alito of associating with people opposed to the inclusion of women in private institutions, the WASHINGTON TIMES is fronting on Thursday.

The eight-term senator belonged to an all-male social club -- the Owl -- at Harvard University. The Owl refused to admit women until it was forced to do so during the 1980s, according to records kept by the HARVARD CRIMSON, the student newspaper.

A Kennedy spokeswoman said it was an entirely different matter.

"No one can question Senator Kennedy's commitment to equality, justice and civil rights," said Laura Capps. "What he was part of was a social club, not a radical group pushing a radical agenda."

Anyway, she said, even though women were admitted to the university during Mr. Kennedy's tenure, they weren't fully integrated to the campus until much later.

Ohhhh, now I see, OK for Teddy to join club that excludes women, but not OK for Alito to show support ROTC. Was Teddy's Harvard club called "He-man Woman Hater's Club"?

[XEHRpa]

The irony is rich.

PING...pong

[dead]

It would have gone all-male about ten minutes after Teddy walked into the room drunk anyway.

[TomGuy]

Yes, but was it the Eating Club?




Or the Drinking Club?

[goodnesswins]

Ah....Drudge and Rush have been chatting.....Rush mentioned this today. He also said that the Club required a certain "income" or "financial level" for club members....

[neodad]

Probably a good thing that no women were admitted. Who knows how many young women's lives were saved.

Or his skill at swimming while drunk on his ass!

That's what they say about that fraternal organization Sen KKK Byrd wa affiliated with. Just a bunch of good ole boys drinkin' beer and playin' poker on Friday nights and occasionally lighting off a bonfire just for the hell of it.

He doesn't hate women. He just drowns them.

That is the silliest comment I have heard in many years.

She is scared.

I wonder if Specter will query the Swimmer on it tomorrow? Let the sparks start flying early. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

" A spokeswoman said it ws an entirely different matter..." LMAOROF!!!! oh, of course...yeah, that's the ticket!!!

[DennisR]

I do not think you can call Kennedy a "man," can you? After all, he is a Democrat, so by definition he is a girlie man, just like Kerry, Biden, Leahy, Schumer, et al.

[kajingawd]

I seriously doubt any female wants to be part of a club where the members go around sticking their fingers up each others butts in hopes of heightening their social status.

[Alberta's Child]

Hypocrite ping.

"No one can question Senator Kennedy's commitment to equality, justice and civil rights,"

Does this mean he has surrendered to the proper legal authorities?

How many minorities live in the Swimmers neighborhood? The only minorities that get close to the Kennedy's are the servants.
