The Adams Love Letters: It Is Just Me... (Debbie Schlussel On Uncle Ted And Marital Fidelity Alert)
Debbie Schlussel.com ^ | 11/19/2007 | Debbie Schlussel

. . . Or is there just something really wrong about Ted Kennedy a/k/a "Club Ted" and his wife reading the love letters between John and Abigail Adams at a special Fanueil Hall presentation of the new book, "My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams"?

I mean, really, what would John Adams think, if he knew that the man impersonating him in reading his letters was the same guy who:

a) apparently drowned the girlfriend he got pregnant;

b) woke up his nephews for a night of carousing, after which a rape was committed by one of them;

c) had sex with a different woman during lunch in the middle of La Brasserie restaurant;

d) was photographed having sex with yet another woman atop a boat in the middle off the coast of France;

e) repeatedly cheated on his first wife and probably his current one; and

f) got expelled out of Harvard for cheating?

Yup, I think John . . . and Abigail are turning over in their graves on this one.

The Adams' story is about a great, loving union and partnership that helped our nation in its early days. Ted Kennedy's sotry is about a "great" 1-2 minute lusting union and transaction that helped Club Ted in his non-premature days.

But, hey, at least Ted knew how to swim. Driving, not so much.

Uncle Ted and marital fidelity? Uhhh... I don't think The Swimmer and that high concept go together in the same sentence... his reading the Adams' Letters at Fanueil Hall with his wife makes you look on in askance.

I am a descendant of John and Abigail Adams as are hundreds of thousands of American.

Teddy makes me sick.

I am NOT a descendant of John and Abigail Adams along with hundreds of millions of other Americans.

The thought of Ted Kennedy still makes me sick.

Oh my, Ted a womanizer, a drunk, a murderer? Naw, NOT my ted! LOL, this fat slob should be doing some heavy duty time in jail, instead, he has the power to ruin this once great country and he has over and over again, we can thank the idiots in my State for voting for him over and over and over and over again, no wonder Joan took up drinking,,,,I’m surprised Miss Vicky hasn’t started drinking.....don’t hear much about her here in MA, she keeps her mouth shut and keeps a low profile, she’s a good Kennedy wife, out of sight, out of mind, old man Joe would be proud.

As a fellow resident of MA...I agree 100%.

It is downright embarrassing to have to travel to nearly any other state in the Union and face questions about how he keeps getting elected.

Sigh.

He better never try to read OUR love letters or I’ll hurt him.

What’s to be surprised about? Our elected representatives in Wash DC are, to man and woman, all foul people. It’s just a matter of degree. Kennedy, “the swimmer” happens to be one of the worst.

I made this one for the Illegal Immigration Debate, but it is semi-germaine:

As much as I dislike Ted Kennedy, Little Debbie sure plays fast and loose with the facts.
