Ted Kennedy Dumps Fuel into Nantucket Sound

Ted Kennedy Dumps Fuel into Nantucket Sound

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.”

He was lucky the day he swam from Chappaquiddick to Hyannis that nobody had dumped oil along his route. That, plus that unfortunate incident with Ms. Kopechne, would have been a really bad day.

I think he’s dumped fuel there at least a dozen times in the last week.

That Olsmobile probably had a few gallons in the tank, as well... Oh, yeah, and that dead girl...

No worries - - he can get more from the Kennedy Family's business partner - - Hugo Chavez.

There once was a jerk in Nantucket
Who jettisoned fuel by the bucket
When asked, he said “Damn!
Don’t you know who I am?”
But the liberal press just said f**k it

It’s OK though because he bought some “fuel-dumping” offsets from his pal Al.

It amazes me that so many are so bamboozled that they cannot see the hypocrisy of the left.
