In the Summer of 1989 Kennedy and fellow Senator Chris Dodd were having lunch at famous Washington D.C. restaurant La Brasserie. Kennedy requested the attendance of waitress Carla Gaviglio. According to the Washington Times "When she put in an appearance in their private retreat - 'The Teddy Kennedy Fun Room' - the Massachusetts senator picked her up and heaved her onto a table. The crystal candlesticks and champagne glasses shattered as he grabbed her again and flung her on top of Dodd.
"Then Kennedy threw himself on top of the woman. The waitress implored Mr. Kennedy to 'Get off me!'
"Another waitress entered to find 'things all tipped over and Kennedy was on top, [the waitress] was in the middle and Dodd was on the bottom.' At that point the sandwich was disassembled."
I can’t believe people actually vote for that sack of crap.
Can you imagine if a Republican tried to assault a waitress? It would be news for weeks on end.
Hilarious!
“The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don’t have to lie. I don’t have to pretend that men and women are the same. I don’t have to declare that failed or oppressive cultures are as good as mine.
“Nor do I have to say that everyone’s special or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God. I don’t have to claim that a bad writer like Alice Walker is a good one or that a good writer like Toni Morrison is a great one. I don’t have to pretend that Islam means peace.
“Of course, like everything, this candor has its price. A politics that depends on honesty will be, by nature, often impolite. Good manners and hypocrisy are intimately intertwined, and so conservatives, with their gimlet-eyed view of the world, are always susceptible to charges of incivility. It’s not really nice, you know, to describe things as they are.”
Can you source that for me please? if it’s not too much bother. I love it and want to see the whole article.
Liberals get away with murder.
They got it ALL wrong! In this sandwich, the meatballs were on the OUTSIDE.
I’m not sure about the Esquire attribution someone mentioned. I’m almost certain I read this in Vanity Fair well over ten years ago. Hope this helps.
Reminds me of the old joke...
Q: Why do Kennedys cry during sex?
A: Mace.
Sorry, I misread your post. I was refering to the original stort about fats.
Hold the mayo!
“Hold the mayo!”
Words obviously never uttered by fat Teddy.
Sean Connery starred in the comedy "A Fine Madness" about this technique.
Nevertheless, it was. Did a dandy job of calming the nuts down. Much the same as "being on your meds" does today.
A close relative was on lithium for a while, and if that doesn't qualify as a chemical lobotomy, I don't know what would.
Truth is an absolute defense against libel. It’s an old, widely circulated story that none of the principals has denied categorically, or otherwise.
Remember: Paula Jones sued for libel when the Jim Carville called her trail park trash and implied that she was lying. Carville served the very useful purpose of igniting Paula Jones’ lawsuit against Clinton.
Hey THANKS for the effort!
They actually did the lobotomy on Teddy. That’s why he votes the way he does.
Brasserie II: On September 25, 1987, Kennedy and a young blonde woman—identified by several sources as a congressional lobbyist—allegedly got carried away at a wine-fueled lunch in a private room upstairs and succumbed to the temptations of the carpet, where they were surprised in a state of semi-undress and wholehearted passion by waitress Frauke Morgan. The room, located next to the restrooms, is secured only by a flimsy accordion door, which could not be fully closed. Morgan declined to be interviewed for this story or to comment on or refute the accounts of other sources.
However, waitress Virginia Hurt, who says Morgan described the scene to her shortly after witnessing it, recalls, “He was on the floor with his pants down on top of the woman, and he saw her and she just kind of backed away and closed the door. The girl didn’t see Frauke. So Frauke went downstairs and told the manager and [another waitress] overheard.”
A waitress to whom Morgan spoke just after the incident says, “She told me…she went up to offer them coffee and when she opened the door…there they were on the floor.” Morgan said explicitly, the other waitress goes on, that Kennedy had his pants down and his date “had her dress up,” and the two “ ‘were screwing on the floor.’ ”
Says another waitress to whom Morgan immediately related the episode, “She said she had walked in to ask them if they needed anything else before she gave them the check, and she just sort of found Senator Kennedy on top of this [woman] on the floor and they were sort of half under the table and half out.”
A copy of La Brasserie’s reservation list for that day shows that a luncheon table for two in the back room was reserved for Kennedy. A copy of the check, signed “Edward M. Kennedy,” shows he was billed for two bottles of Chardonnay.
Kennedy and Dodd were probably first in line to sign Biden’s Protection of Women From Abuse bill or whatever it was called a few years back - their cloddish behavior is bad enough, but their hypocrisy is outrageous.......
