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.”
Laws are for us, not for them.
Why should we expect anything different from Ted?

Ecological terrorist!
Swimming at Cape Cod in March? Global warming is good.
why on earth doesn’t newsmax have the picture in an article about a photographer taking a picture?
It’s not the first time the Chap of Quiddick dumped motor fuel into waters.
NIMBY.

Considering what else Teddy has dumped into the water in the past, I’d say just oil from his yacht is a step up.
Yeah. And Buicks.
Now THAT may be the best quote of the day!!!!

“I (hic) was only emptying (hic) my porto-potty!”
Joe Kennedy made his early money on boats running rum. I imagine he poured a lot of that out when the Feds came, like Teddy.
The fat drunken pig is a walking violation of all that is good and pure. You should see the oil slick he leaves behind when he climbs out of a pool or the ocean.
I’m sure his Olds left a slick at Chappaquiddick, too. They didn’t do anything then, why should they now?
Does Kennedy do this every day of the week or is it just threads get posted on this every day of the week?
