The thing that I find MOST delicious about this is that there can be only a few explanations for this particularly tasty error:
1.) The error was not noticed by the Boston Globe staff when they reviewed it. This reason is most entertaining, because it shows them to be complete idiots, particularly since communism is the ideology they seem to be most sympathetic to. Additionally, the liberals like to paint themselves as more refined and educated. Yeah, right.
2.) The error was noticed, but they did not contact Swimmer Ted. For what reason, I don't know...maybe they thought he would get pissed at them, or maybe someone wanted to stab him in the back.
3.) The error was noticed, and they couldn't find Fat Teddy to let him know, and due to deadlines, posted it anyway so they didn't get scooped or something.
4.) Op-ed pieces are never screened for gross errors of spelling or factuality.
He was just drunk again, nothing more.
Didn't the kid involved break down and confess that it was a hoax?
Why is the fact that Ted Kennedy is an ignorant A$$hole news? This belongs more in proven facts of history. /sarc
Teddie the life guard doesn't know much of anything exept how to get a cork out of a bottle of gin.
This has since turned out to be a lie by the student in question.
Wasn't the Communist Manifesto was written by Osama Obama?
Use the article's headline, do not make up your own, this will prevent double posting.
He always has the excuse: I wrote this during cocktail hour.
I read somewhere that a majority of Harvard graduates believed that the phrase "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was from the US Constitution!
On another aspect of this, did the Globe run any kind of correction / retraction about the phony college-kid-visited-by-government-agents story?
I believe that was the case. Same sorta outcome as the Tawana Brawley story. The press, and the leftists wanted it to be true. So it was.
Editors allow op-ed writers to freely flap their gums.
Lets show Teddy and his minions some love:

This was a big fat hoax that hornswoggled the big fat Senator from Massachusetts
