Some of his aides have reportedly stated anonymously they were surprised kennedy took that tack yesterday since there was nothing "there" to pursue. The implication being Kennedy went off on his own to please the Lefties in his base. I don't know if that's true. I could see kennedy doing that, but I could also see the anonymous aides not wanting the embarrassment on their heads for the line of questioning yesterday that they provided. Whichever it was, kennedy doesn't write his own questions and if his aides didn't provides the questions I suspect Neas or someone close to him well could have.
The only coherant thought Ted has is when he can get his next drink. His addiction is so strong he can't sit through a few hours without his hand shaking from the withdrawal.
