“Ted Kennedy, the “loin of the senate”.”

****

Yes...Teddy epitomized a “respectable” Senator. Because the first things that come to mind when his name is mentioned are (1) murdered (pregnant?) girlfriend drowned in car, (2) playing “waitress sandwich” with his colleagues at DC bars, and (3) socialist legislation.

And they wonder why people have an utter contempt for 99% of politicians.

Let us NOT forget Ded Kennedy on immigration:

"The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the
standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose
their jobs."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1965

"This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal
aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again
bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1986

"Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken
system."
            - Ted Kennedy, 2007
