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.

LMAO, BUFFOON ALERT!!! The only reason teddy hiccup claims he will quit this club is because he was called on it by Andy Hiller, let's wait and see if he actually does quit, he claims he's still sending them about a hundred bucks.

"...and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can."Same thing he says about semi-submerged Oldsmobiles with young women in the backseat.
To: frankjr
LOL.
This is one tough club. Apparently, if you drop out, you must continue to pay $100 per year.

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.” Curious choice of words by The Swimmer. As fast as I can get out of an Oldsmobile? What does it take to quit a club? Just say 'I quit'.

“I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”
He's been thinking about it for some time.....what, 30 years? I guess he didn't want to rush to judgment.

Meanwhile, Kennedy admitted to Hiller that he himself probably couldn’t pass Judiciary Committee muster. “Probably not . . . probably not,” Kennedy said. WOW! I would love to have seen his big, red face when he had to admit that. Makes me wonder about Hiller's future at the Globe. That interview took guts. Go get 'um Hiller!

My advice is to become a member. Members do not pay dues, only non-members.

How do you drop your membership in a club you're not a member of???

Doesn't change anything. He is still a hypocrite in all he says and does.
To: conservativecorner
LOL!! Can the Swimmer do anything right?
