Ted Kennedy quizzing Sam Alito about Vanguard mutual funds is like a prostitute demanding to know if a nun has ever thought about having an impure thought.
This is what Greenfield was talking about:
Conservative activists, meanwhile, were eager to point out that Mr. Kennedy was on shaky ground accusing the nominee of associating with people opposed to the inclusion of women in private institutions.
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.
This kind of guilt by association, I think, is highly unfair. I'm sure that despite having Senator Kennedy as a member, the Owl club is a fine institution.
