"“I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.”"

Huh?? What does it mean?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

No one knows. Not even Ted. (calls for mandatory "Ted in neckbrace" photo)

[teddyballgame]

Kennedy said, “I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.” I am not a member either. Do I owe them $100 too???

Too funny. "I don't belong to this club, but am going am going to quit as soon as I can".

Senator Kennedy, "Yo tiiiime is uup."

[builder]

He will always be a member of the "Oldsmobile drinking and sinking club" That small group unfortunately did allow woman,albeit briefly.

If I hadn't known about Kennedy's membership in the Owl Club, my first thought would have been 'is this from Scrappleface?'

[AD from SpringBay]

So he's still a member? We can expect a strong statement condemning his membership from the NOW?

[COUNTrecount]

But is he still a member of Hooters?

[Phantom Lord]

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.

How does someone expelled from a university for cheating gain membership in one of its alumni clubs?

[conservativecorner]

You forget that the Kennedy clan are treated like royalty.

There's nothing immoral about an all men's club, don't let your glee over Kennedy's hypocrisy cause you to help promote the destructive values of the left.

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.”

Translation: His 'efforts' to quit will fail after much stalling and waiting for the media attention to go away, while he plans a new way to attack Alito. Teddy will miss a couple meetings, but the group will catch him up.

What a flaming hypocrite, no news flash there. He's just pissed that someone in the media dared uncover and expose his group membership and the obvious conflict. If it really outrages him like he claims it does, like he claims that Alito's membership does, he would have quit years and years ago.

[KC_Conspirator]

This is amazing hypocrisy. Its staggering. He's going to quit now, after 50 years?

[Alouette]

Do they have a steam room? Who'd want to see Ted Kennedy nekkid?

[Catholic Iowan]

"Meanwhile, Kennedy admitted to Hiller that he himself probably couldn’t pass Judiciary Committee muster. “Probably not . . . probably not,” Kennedy said." Probably not? Probably not? Sheesh! What a moron. Also, I suppose now that Fat Teddy has seen the light, he'll be introducing legislation to force the Knights of Columbus to admit women to it's membership. What an a$$hat!

[PerConPat]

"Meanwhile, Kennedy admitted to Hiller that he himself probably couldn’t pass Judiciary Committee muster.

This is the last straw; I will never support Ted in the event that he is nominated for appointment to the SCOTUS. I am deeply troubled by these developments...Ok, that's enough.

One can't be sufficiently sarcastic when referring to EMK- a lying, cheating, criminal, drunken pile of hypocrisy.

[Temple Owl]

There must be a Philadelphia chapter. It sounds like a really fun outfit. Maybe we could entice Teddy to come make a speech and go swimming with us. lol

[uptoolate]

LOL Excellent

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

That is the BEST line--I'm still laughing! Actually you probably owe them for all the years you didn't belong!

[GoldwaterChick]

Laugh until you cry Ping!!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The Senator was confused. He meant that he pays $100 to pay off his bar tab.
