Ted Kennedy has called Nantucket Sound near his Massachusetts estate “a national treasure” — but that didn’t stop the senator from having oil dumped from his yacht into its waters.
A local photographer spotted an oil slick coming from Kennedy’s yacht Mya as Kennedy and his guests left the vessel in a launch following a race that ended in Hyannis, the Cape Cod Today newspaper reported.
The lensman was so shocked that he rowed his dinghy out to question the crew member left aboard the yacht.
He asked the crewman, “What the hell are you doing?”
The crewman said that diesel fuel had gotten into the bilge and he was told to dump it.
When the photographer pointed out that the yacht was moored in coastal waters near shellfish beds and people swimming, the crewman replied, “Whatever.”
Cape Cod Today published a photo showing the oil slick emanating from Mya.
As Newsmax reported earlier, Kennedy has opposed a proposal to construct a wind farm in Nantucket Sound to produce cheap, clean energy. Asked why, he said: “That’s where I sail.”
I do believe that's a crime. Waddaya bet nothing's done about it -- or that it even gets a mention in the la,e stream press.
No takers on your bet, TG.
The oil slick could have ended up as a "marker" off Chappaquidick. /s
The rotund, alcoholic, "Swimmer," away with murder, he did.
I read the comments in the link above and someone posted he couldn’t wait for Dick Gabbetts book to come out.
Anyone know anything about that?
Here’s another that’s long-over due for prosecution, conviction and jail time. His sins are too numerous too mention which ranges from murder to polluting the environment and everything else in between.
Yeah, ethanol! He probably dumps a gallon in there every day.
bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm funny!!!
correction,,Dick Garbetts. I don’t get anything on google about him.
Didn't know you needed diesel to sail.
“When the photographer pointed out that the yacht was moored in coastal waters near shellfish beds and people swimming, the crewman replied, “Whatever, DO YOU KNOW WHO’S BOAT THIS IS?”
There, fixed it.
Exactly. I’m not saying Kennedy’s not scum, but why is it suddenly news 6 years later?
“Must be nice to be royalty. “
In Massachusetts anyway.
Being a Kennedy there is like being a Windsor in England.
The only difference is the Windsors have more class (and knowing the Windsors that is a compliment to neither family!!)
Sorry. This is the 1st I've heard of it.

Please explain.
????????
This story came out in 2002, why is it making the rounds again? If it is just to remind everyone what a turd Ted is, that’s cool, but a follow up story would be best.
Rules, don’t apply to royalty, they make the rules.
Ha! Maybe the U-Boat Commander of Chappaquidick was attempting that old submariners trick of releasing fuel to trick his adversary into thinking that they had sunk him. ;-)
