TEDDY: IN HIS OWN WORDS. 9 tonight, HBO. THERE ARE people who can forgive Ted Kennedy anything. There are people who can forgive him nothing.

I know teddy to be a lying, drunk cokehead with blood on his hands. I won’t waste my time watching Hoax Box Orifice, but I will take this opportunity to cancel their ass off my cable— I’ve been meaning to anyway.

They can search for and find part of the PT 109, but they just can’t seem to find that 69 Olds.
