Ted Kennedy: The Joke that Keeps on Giving

CH Journal ^ | Jan 17, 2006 | Mike Bates

The excerpt was from a 1983 article and began: “People nowadays just don't seem to know their place. Everywhere one turns, blacks and Hispanics are demanding jobs simply because they’re black and Hispanic. The physically handicapped are trying to gain equal representation in professional sports. And homosexuals are demanding the government vouchsafe them the right to bear children. And now . . . and now come women.”

Kennedy read the passage, except for the last sentence, which was strange considering his extensive history of respecting women, with all the solemnity he could muster. But surely he was joshing when he acted as though he took the article seriously.

I mean, he must have realized that it was a spoof. Who would be idiotic enough to put in writing a belief that some folks don’t know their rightful place?

So intrigued by the citation was Kennedy that he placed it on his official Senate Web site. If the beginning of the article weren’t confirmation that it was satire, surely he must have realized that when a later paragraph asks: “How dare you offer my daughter your fillet? We eat only the fat of the steak like Achilles, Ajax, and Agamemnon.”

Teddie seems more like the burrito that just keeps on giving.

And Teddy probably didn't know it was satire, he doesn't prepare anything that he says...

He's too sexy for his shirt

[Emmett McCarthy]

Musta been one of those Karl Rove operatives that slipped that into his stack, huh?

This would be the future of the Democratic Party? Fat, Lazy, sleazy, and stupid.

[Palladin]

I have to wonder if some of his more bitter (female) staffers are feeding him this stuff just to make him look more ridiculous than he already is.

[Dante3]

What's this about Teddy quitting his all-male club? Seems too little too late.

[pointsal]

Golly sakes my sides hurt from laughter....

[Lekker 1]

Hey...didn't he play for the Packers?

I thought this was a joke:

I went to his website. It's there. I still don't believe it. It's like his staff is just ramming stuff into a scanner and calling it gold.

I DEMAND that Ted Kennedy RESIGN

I DEMAND it..

It's amazing that this fat, tub of crap keeps getting elected. He's a joke and is making a joke of the idiots who vote for him!

[Cyber Liberty]

Naw, leave 'im in. Only helps us, really. Bork was his high-water mark (stop laughing. Now!) I am upset, though, at the way he hurt Mrs. Alito.

I know why she cried (well, I bet), and it's that bloated fool.

[Spiff]

Why didn't Alito pick up on it and say, simply, "It's satire, Senator. You do know what that is, don't you?"

[jaydubya2]

"Earlier this month, he told reporters Judge Alito had been “influenced by the Goldwater presidency.” Isn’t that just like the fun loving prankster, pretending that Barry, who lost in a landslide, had actually been elected?"

[Cyber Liberty]

Like the title of the article says....

[chiefqc]

"Look on the dock, It's a whale, it's a blimp. No it just the fat murdering drunk teddie".

[Malesherbes]

Seriously folks, while we're at it, I sure would like to know more about the off-short trust where Kennedy keeps his wealth to avoid paying taxes.

[PROSOUTH]

Gosh I wish Teddy would run for president! Just think of all the fun we had with Kerry and how much more fun we would have if Teddy ran! Run Teddy Run!!!!!!
