THIS IS THE DRUNKEN SLOB LIFEGUARD KILLER WHO CALLS OUR PRESIDENT A LIAR

On the radio today, I heard clips of Lifeguard Ted Kennedy on the floor of the Senate repeatedly calling our president a liar. Here is some background on Teddy. What a slug of a human being. He calls someone else a liar? In this report, we don't even get into the killing of Mary Jo.
==================================================
The following are excerpts from :
The Kennedy Men: Three Generations of Sex, Scandal, and Secrets
- by Nellie Bly
- Ted managed to graduate from prep school (Milton Academy) in 1950 with only a C average.
- Teddy was never a scholar, and his brother Jack once referred to him as "the gay illiterate".
- Despite his terrible grades, Teddy (like brother Robert) was admitted to Harvard as a "legacy", because his older brothers and father had graduated form there with such distinction.
- Yet even at Harvard, young Ted floundered.
- In his sophomore year he was expelled for cheating. He had been failing Spanish and feared it would keep him off the varsity football team.
- He paid a friend to take the exam for him.
- Ted's friend, however, was recognized when he turned in the exam book.
- Both lads were expelled, but were advised that they could apply for readmission in a year if they demonstrated responsible citizenship.
- It was a shame and disgrace, but the family would manage to keep it a secret until Teddy ran for the Senate.
- After his expulsion from Harvard, Teddy returned to Hyannis Port where he would sit brooding, sometimes for hours.
- Finally, he enlisted in the Army.
- Not surprisingly, he did not bother to read the enlistment papers and signed up for four years instead of two.
- Ted's father, the US Ambassador to England, was horrofied at the thought of his youngest son spending four years in the service, with a good chance of being sent into combat in Korea.
- "Don't you ever look at what you're signing?" he shouted.
- With one phone call Joe contacted a friend who managed to get hold of Teddy's enlistment papers.
- Ted's enlistment period was shortened to two years, a maneuver that was nearly impossible for the average enlistee.
- Furthermore, Ted would do his service in Europe, not Korea.
- Teddy never rose above the rank of private, and was discharged in 1952.
- He returned to Harvard in the fall of 1953, as did his test-taking friend, and they graduated together.
- Once back at Harvard, Teddy made the rugby team.
- During one match in 1954, Ted got into three fistfights with opposing players and was finally thrown out of the game. According to referee Frederick Costick, Teddy was the only player he had ever expelled from a game in thirty years of officiating.
- "Rugby is a character-building sport," Costick said. "Players learn how to conduct themselves on the field with the idea that they will learn how to conduct themselves in life. When a player loses control of himself three times in a single afternoon, to my mind, that is a sign that, in a crisis, the man is not capable of thinking clearly and acting rationally. Such a man will panic under pressure."
- Of course, years later, in the crisis at Chappaquiddick, Teddy would do exactly that.
- In 1957, Ted entered the University of Virginia Law School.
- The warning signs of trouble would continue.
- While in law school, Ted would earn the nickname "Cadillac Eddie". He was cited four times for reckless driving (three times in 1958 and once in 1959). These violations included running red lights and driving with his lights off at ninety miles per hour in a suburban area.
- Teddy was convicted of three violations and fined, but for some reason his driver's license was never revoked.
- In 1960, Jack Kennedy became President of the United States, and vacated his Massachusetts Senate seat. - Joe Kennedy told the President: "You boys have what you want now and everyone else helped you work to get it. Now it's Teds turn."
- Joe still wanted to collect on all he had invested in getting Jack the seat in the Senate.
"Look, I paid for it," Joe explained. "It belongs in the family."
- But Teddy would not be eligible to fill Jack's vacant Senate seat until February 22, 1962, when he would turn thirty.
- Joe therefore persuaded the Massachusetts governor to name a Kennedy family friend to fill out Jack's term, keeping the seat available for Teddy.
- On March 19, 1962 Teddy announced that he was a candidate for the US Senate.
- Almost immediately, the Boston Globe unearthed the dark secret in Teddy's past - that he had been expelled from Harvard for cheating.
- Robert L Healy, political editor of the Globe, found the story. In order to get it into the paper, however, he had to get some confirmation. He asked the White House to open up the Harvard record and was immediately summoned to the Oval Office.
- The President and his aides kept pressing Healy to play down the story, but he stood his ground. "So finally, Jack gave me access to the whole thing," Healy said.
- On March 30 the Globe ran the story. Ted immediately issued a statement accepting full blame:
"I made a mistake. What I did was wrong. I have regretted it ever since. The unhappiness I caused my family and friends, even though eleven years ago, has been a bitter experience for me, but it has also been a valuable lesson. That is the story."
- This was the first of what would become the three historic apologies of Ted's career.
- The cheating story eventually died, and Ted was elected to the Senate.
- The admiring journalist Joe McCarthy had no illusions about young Ted. "He isn't very very heavy mentally........nothing like his brothers. In many ways he's a fathead, a little bit conceited, a little bit cocky, the kind of guy who'd never finish a sentence when you asked him a question. He simply didn't think things through as Jack and Bobby did.

I would add that Teddy is living off trusts set up to avoid estate taxes, just like all the other Kennedys.

The hardcover was in 1996, and the paperback was released in 1999. Maybe the poster who harasses me and put up the foolish link will finally embarrass himself into exile, at least from my threads. One can only hope.

Talking about Teddy - one thing that has always chapped my a**, is how Orrin Hatch (is he still in the Senate?) called him a friend.
I always wondered if Ted was setting him up with chicks that Orrin could never hope to score with.

Read "The Senator" by Richard Burke, Doug. It details Teddy's sorry life as a Senator. In the end, you'll say a silent prayer to God, thanking him that this man never became President of the United States. God really is watching over this country, I'm absolutely convinced after reading this book. (Burke was Teddy's chief of staff for about 12 years)

Jabba The Teddy made a complete and utter fool of himself, ranting and lying on the floor of the Senate today while the President of The United States achieved the exact thing fat teddy claimed the administration was refusing to do! Will we have the alphabet networks doing split screens, exposing this pig of a Senator from brain-dead Massatwosh*ts? No, they couldn't do something so crass as report the truth!

Reading through Mr. Kennedy's list of achievements above (which bear a remarkable resemblance to candid accounts of Bill Clinton's past), it becomes eminently clear why he is worshiped by Democrats.
He embodies all that they hold dear.

He needs to be tried for sedition, and Mary Jo's murder. The law in Massachusetts, when Teddy drove off of the bridge, and I believe even to today, was that if you are involved in an automobile accident that causes the death of a person you are AUTOMATICALLY charged with vehicular manslaughter. Unless you are a Kennedy.
He skated.

Been there, done that - swallowed my spit and voted Dubya over "favorite son" from Tennessee.

Roger Hedgecock (sitting in for Rush) played the audio from Kennedy's speech on the Senate floor today.
I missed the replay, but according to Roger, Kennedy was saying that Bush had refused to get UN cooperation at the exact same time that the UN was passing their resolution to help.
The man is a real testament to the mentality of Massataxans...

God really is watching over this country, I'm absolutely convinced after reading this book. I read it a few years ago. Found it (hardcover) for $2.00 It was an outstanding description of this perverted, cocaine addicted, scum ball, murdering, liar. If anyone else gets a chance to read it I highly recommend it. The big question that I have is how can anyone ever vote for him after all of his lying abusive behavior?

The Dimocraps put Senator "I-Drove-The-Car-Into-The-River-And-Got-Off-Scott-Free" Kennedy and Robert Byrd in front of the cameras to spew the vilest and most atrocious venom because what's left of their political careers is chronologically relatively short.
They can say outrageous stuff and so what if it comes back to haunt them?
I didn't know the background poop on Teddie except for Kopechney though. Think I'll forward this so some people I know....

In 1961 I lived near Charlottesville, VA and Teddy's escapades were common knowledge and gossiped about alot. Curiously it was put about that his law school grades were never posted even though he seemed to have graduated. Does he claim to be a lawyer? We used to go to the U of VA when celebrities performed there, like the Kingston trio. Ahh, the good old days!
To: Loyal Buckeye
"I would add that Teddy is living off trusts set up to avoid estate taxes, just like all the other Kennedys." There is doubtless a second reason, besides taxes. Likely, the family doesn't trust Teddy to manage his inheritance.

Teddy testified that he had had only three drinks at the party before getting into the car and driving off the bridge. How likely is it that he was telling the truth?
I believe his roommate at UVA Law School was one John Wesley Dean, famous for his role in Watergate, and more recently as a Clinton shill.

In 1962, I had just graduated from college and gotten a job at John Hancock (one of Boston's largest employers). One day while I was moving along the cafeteria line I was confronted by a grinning fool. I thought he wanted to shake hands (I refused) but later realized he was reaching for my wallet.
In the primary, he ran against Eddie McCormack (John's nephew), who had already served as state Attorney General. During a debate, McCormack ventured the opinion that "If your name were Edward Moore Smith, you wouldn't even be standing here." Kennedy had absolutely nothing to recommend him for a city council position, much less the Senate, but the Massachusetts voters ignored such incidental things as qualifications.

Here is some Teddy information. "Dike House", ged'it?

You know those rosie cheeks are not the result of sunshine. He's the hamburger between the well known two buns. LOL

From the archives, here is one of my very favorite songs from just over 2 years ago. A tabloid reported that relatives were fearful because the bloated drunk had serious liver damage.
NOTE: I do not celebrate death, well, except for vicious murderers. I wish Kennedy well but he really does deserve this song.

Poor, poor Ted
we just heard the news
Could it be that hes had too much booze
He holds a seat that the RATS may lose
Teddys liver
Hey Jane Swift, dear, are you all set
You will soon get your chance, we bet
Poor Tom Daschle
his pants are all wet
Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says it is pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the vast right wing is feeling sad
If only there could be a way to hear from Mary Jo
Were sure she would say its a tragic way to go
Poor, poor Teddys liver
When hes gone, it will seem so odd
No waitress sandwich with his pal, Dodd
So raise your glass and lets give him a nod
Teddys liver
When the time comes to say goodbye
We will not see one dry eye
Like Ron Brown, will Scumbag laugh and then cry
Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says its pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the vast right wing is feeling sad
If only there could be a way to hear from Mary Jo
Were sure she would say that its a tragic way to go
Poor, poor Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says its pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the right wing is feeling sad

Senator Ted Kennedy hosted us for a second briefing in one of the Senate Conference rooms. Accompanied by his dog,
Splash, Kennedy greeted us with his usual friendliness and enthusiasm. Approaching forty years in the United States Senate, Kennedy has consistently been at the front of the fight for quality health care for every American, education reform and workers rights. The Senator spoke to us about the unique window of opportunity that is present for those who will answer the call to public service.

Around the time that Senator John Tower of Texas was being considered for high public office, (he was crucified for his womanizing and drinking), Newsweek published an article about Teddy.
Newsweek revealed that Teddy was a drunk! However, he was their drunk so they gave him a pass.
I cancelled my subscription to Newsweek and Time and never have read the rags since.
To: mom-7
I don't think they want to silence the idiot.
He says the things they can't QUITE bring themselves to say.
Many of them are afraid of possible consequences by going that far out.
He is not. He's a Kennedy, a Kennedy, a Kennedy (to quote Rush's parody)
Plus he has a lifelong tenure on the Senate seat from Mass.
He can't go any higher and he certainly can't go any lower.
In my opinion, he's being encouraged to make these outrageous statements.
Three Kennedy boys with at least a smidgen of sense and integrity died. Teddy lived. go figure.
