Indeed.
The brown stuff that falls out of a cow's a$$ has far more value than the Senior Gasbag from MA.

A 13 foot boat would have a capacity of about 600lbs, max. Teddy takes up over 1/2 of that, his pal the other 1/4 at least leaving room for at most 1 small person in a boat filled to capacity in a rough sea.
Brilliant seamanship.

This is being reported incorrectly. They were trapped because Teddy went in for a swim, raising the water level above the jetty. They were saved when he left the water to get a case of Chivas.

So, basically he did nothing to save them. Par for the course.
To: Andy'smom
Too bad he didn't think of that when Mary-Jo was drowning in his car.
To: ICE-FLYER
It's amazing that he'll go out in public without a shirt or something on...
I guess it goes with the EGO...

What's he got, a guilty conscience?
Send him out on a rope. New meaning for "personal flotation device".

And before breakfast, too. That's OK I suppose, I've been trying to lose weight and it helps to have your appetite taken away.

I'm probably going to get in trouble for this. But Ted Kennedy has special body guards around him all the time. The guards are especially picked after hours of extensive training. To make sure they THINK just like Ted Kennedy. That way they can predict his every move and keep him from harms way. The media has never taken pictures of them because of what happened to Jack and Robert Kennedy. I know somebody who works at the Kennedy compound and they were able to smuggle out on pic of Ted's special guard unit.
Pics of Ted Kennedy's personal bodyguards.

Nope. You don't understand. Being such an excellent swimmer and floater, Teddy WAS the boat.
But seriously, imagine Teddy coming up to you in a tiny boat that's about to flip asking you to get in. There was also a good chance he was hammered so it was another Chappaquiddick in the making.

The only difference between Kerry and Kennedy is that once in his life Kerry pulled actually someone out of the water.

Here are Teddy's guards/doubles practicing the patented "Swimmer Walk". A fifth of whiskey is required to even attempt this feat.

What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out and those people who were impoverished died. --Ted "Manslaughter" Kennedy, 9/7/2005

Obviously no pregnant girl friends involved in fat teddies rescue effort.
