U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy — who ripped Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women — says he’s going to quit a club notorious for discriminating against women “as fast as I can.”

Kennedy was outed by conservatives late last week as a current member of The Owl Club, a social club for Harvard alumni that bans women from membership.

In an interview with WHDH Channel 7’s Andy Hiller that aired last night, Kennedy said, “I joined when I . . . 52 years ago, I was a member of the Owl Club, which was basically a fraternal organization.”

Asked by Hiller whether he is still a member, Kennedy said, “I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.”

He then said of being a member in a club that discriminates against women, “I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”

The Harvard Crimson reports that, in 1984, the university severed ties with clubs like the Owl, citing a federal law championed by Kennedy.

“I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”


What a bum.

This report should be titled "The Owl and the Pussy."

Happy third anniversary!

I'd be a member of a club like that.

What say we look into membership, fellas?

I heard he was forced out as his man-boobs were getting to large and drunk ted himself was the object of discrimination in this club....

...who ripped Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women...

Discriminates against women?? As I understand it, Laura Ingram was the editor of CAP's newsletter for a time.

Spoken like a true drunken politician.

The Owl club, or a submerged Oldsmobile..?

I am not a member either. Do I owe them $100 too???

[i_dont_chat]

52 years he has been a member. And now he gets out?

Lightning fast!

Bwahahahahahaha ... it doesn't matter, Swimmer. Using your own twisted logic, you were a member for all those years and didn't use the power of your presence (barf) to change the policy and therefore obviously approved of it up until you were called on your membership.

Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women

Not sure this is true unless you think that not favoring affirmative action is the same as discrimination, which it obviously is not.

“I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”

Kennedy's thoughts when he realized he was in a sinking car with a woman.

Time sure does fly when you're having a good time with friends! :>)!

[OpusatFR]

Oh sorry.

I thought that read: "Ted K to quit club that drowns women."

[txzman]

What a slimeball. Cannot even give a straight, honest answer about being a member. Want an example for your children of the kind of adult one should NOT want to emulate? - here's the perfect example.
