Some would go farther and say that the memorandum from Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB that was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR, outlining a secret proposal made by Senator Ted Kennedy to the Soviets to help them "understand Reagan" in return for their help in making him president, constitutes treason.
It's not a word to throw around lightly and the reason I refrain from using it is because I am unsure Kennedy's actions meet the definition. Kennedy was not in direct contact with Andropov, using his good friend John Tunney, former senator from California, as a messenger boy to deliver the proposal to the Soviets. And he wasn't proposing to betray any secrets.
At the time this memo was first released (1992), it was completely ignored by the American press. But I vividly recall reading about it when Paul Kengor published his book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism. There was a brief firestorm on the internet with Kennedy supporters pointing out that it was possible that Tunney - a notorious loose cannon - could have concocted the whole thing without Kennedy's knowledge.
Kennedy office issued a statement saying that the interpretation of the memo was "way off the mark," but didn't deny its authenticity.

What do you mean, “could care less....”? The slurpers and Kennedy worshippers love him BECAUSE of him doing this and other similar acts.
Who is she?
This makes sense. It explains why 0bama is the new Kennedy brother. Same politics. Same push for leftist utopian, communist globalization.
You are right, of course, but I thought their unhappiness was due to the fact that the women are a sad lot and the men are the homliest in America. I don’t think its outmigration that has lowered the population in Mass, I think it is the outcome of the mating of really ugly people.
Maybe inner ugliness eventually becomes outer. Rod Serling wrote a classic Twilight Zone about this ;-)

Is that so? So because he didn’t knife Regan i nhte back personally, He isn’t complicit? Spose I ‘hired a good friend’ to rob a bank- Because I don’t personally attend hte event, I guess I’m not guilty then eh?
I was in a meeting once with Sen. John Tunney.
Dumb. As. A. Brick.
She is Caroline Kennedy’s daughter.
I remember it. A woman had just had surgery but it didn’t work. The other people had pig snout noses. She remained beautiful by our standards, but the nurses and doctors turned away in horror when they took the bandages off her face.
Thank you.
It figures.
It’s too bad Jackie’s genes hadn’t been more dominant. She must be turning over in her grave to think her granddaughter was giving people the finger publicly.
Yep. There were many great Twilight Zones, and this was one of them.
