Ranking up their with George Washington and Winston Churchill?

Let's see:

Gets kicked out of Harvard for two years because he had someone else take his spanish exam.

Leaves woman to drown; makes numerous calls without calling the police; gets neck brace in less than 12 hours

With his nephews has sex on the lawn with a woman they met at a bar.

Yes, Ted Kennedy is clearly a towering figure /sarc

You mean the same school that threw him out for cheating? Or was that Yale?

Bullsh*t.

Kennedy has been a viciously partisan, hateful liar who has soiled the integrity of Congress over his entire career. He is no hero, no role model and is void of a single shred of integrity.

The only ‘award’ he deserves is a jail sentence for killing somebody and getting away with it.

The senator has maintained close ties to his alma mater

Is one allowed to claim a school as his alma mater if they were expelled from it?

A degree in mixology? A medal maybe for the world’s strongest and most durable liver...but a degree? Don’t think so.

Harvard seems to have no shame. First they give us Hussein, and now this.

Harvard gives out degrees in murder and swimming now?

A PhD in Cocktail mixing?

Which proves: anyone can succeed in America - a bootlegger’s son becomes a Senator and hero after killing a young woman and a Kenyan boy can become President of the United States.

The ceremony will feature Harvard President Drew Faust...

Kennedy making a Faustian bargain before he dies?

At the graduation ceremony, Faust described Kennedy as an "extraordinary person" who is "admired by colleagues on both sides of the aisle as one of the nation's most able, energetic, and influential lawmakers."

Who are these Republicans on the OTHER side of the aisle who admire Ted Kennedy? John McCain crossed the aisle to join HIM. Ergo, John McCain was not on the OTHER side of the aisle.

Hahaha! After kicking him out for hiring someone to take his Spanish final, the blowhards at Whorvard U. are going to give him an honorary degree! That is laughable.

I’m afraid this makes me think less of the only decent, or formerly decent, person involved in this caricature of an awards ceremony, Yo-Yo Ma.

George Washington crossed the Delaware when it mattered most to this country. Kennedy couldn’t even cross a small bridge when it marttered most to Mary Jo

Guess that is what being caught cheating on a Spanish exam will get you at Harvard.

No surprise that HAHvahd would do this — it only shames a famous university with the further disgrace of continuing to suck up to Ted Kennedy and his ilk. But c’mon, to put this vicious, dishonest, shameless jackal in the company of George Washington and Winston Churchill??? Teddy K. is not worthy to shine their shoes.

Don't forget the Kennedy/Dodd Waitress Sandwich

Not many humanoids with Mister Kennedy's vile past could accept such an award, however it seems that Edward is wholly unburdened by that conscience thing.
