Hi, homemom. Glad to "see" you. The Swimmer will never be up-to-date on his shots, of course, but he's been well and truly pickeled by alcohol. Barney might get drunk if he took a chunk out of Ted, but I don't think he'd get sick. Ted, on the other thand, might quickly forget who bit him. So he might just think he's back in his womanizing salad days.
What really upsets me about Kennedy is that there is a pic of him with the Pres., taken shortly after 9/11 I think, where the Pres. has his hands on Teddy's shoulders and they're both smiling. And in one of his speeches right after 9/11, the Pres. publically thanked Kennedy for being with Laura as it was happening. Now Kennedy just seems to constantly stab him in the back. I wonder if the Pres. is upset about it?
You know, alcohol is a cleanser, so Teddy's germs have probably been neutralized. :-)
