Among the many encomiums that the mainstream media showered on the late senator from Massachusetts, something was curiously missing: the link between Sen. Ted Kennedy and the KGB.
Shortly after the Soviet archives were opened up following the collapse of communism in 1991, Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across a strange memo.

Detailed, and quite relative to this thread. For all to see:

Like Father, like Son. Didnt old Joe get removed as Ambassador because he argued for the appeasement of Hitler?
I have never understood why so many Americans love this family of cockroaches.
What’s the matter with you guys?
Don’t you know Ted was a great man because he helped bring TOGETHER the U. S. and the Soviet Union. Now we’re all one big happy communist collective! /sarc
