How about running as “katrina” instead??

I thought the title meant the swinner, too, but it wouldn’t matter if it did. Big head Ted is in for life-until he dies. I seriously doubt he’ll ever retire. I’m 66-my greatest hope is that I outlive that murdering gasbag bastard.

Darn it, the title got my hopes up. We both had the same hopes from reading the thread title, but my thoughts were a little stronger than "darn it", when I read the article and realized this wasn't about the Shamu from Chappaquiddick.

Very misleading headline to say the least. This Kennedy is a GOP member and will be facing a challenge from a Democrat incumbent not one from the GOP. The “GOP challenge” the title refers to is apparently the fact that this particular Kennedy recently switched to the GOP and does not have strong Republican credentials. Besides being worded in a hopelessly confusing fashion, this “challenge” is barely mentioned in the article itself. Come on people, this is basic high school journalism, the title should represent the main idea of a story, not the sidebar idea that was on the author’s mind at the time they picked their title - Sheesh don’t editors even look at what’s submittted to them any more? Agreed. Terrible headline. I think 90% of FReepers including myself thought this article was referring to Ted Kennedy, not some RINO in LA, please correct.
Thanks

Sheesh, don’t editors even look at what’s submitted to them any more?Maybe. Actually, as I read the article, the GOP challenge seems to be coming from someone named Hollis, who "will run to the right of Kennedy." So, really, the headline is correct.

If ever there were a poorly-worded title, that one is it.
I tuned in expecting to find that Teddy Kennedy was facing a GOP opponent in Massachusetts.
