Kennedy forgets to lead by example
Rocky Mountain News ^ | January 13, 2006 | Editorials

Forget Sam Alito's tenuous ties, two decades ago, to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton.

Where's the outrage about Sen. Edward Kennedy's continuing membership in the Owl Club?

Kennedy relentlessly badgered Judge Alito for listing the Princeton group on a job application in 1985, but The Washington Times reported Thursday that the Massachusetts senator remains active with the Owl - one of nine males-only fraternities that in 1984 Harvard "booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws, authored by Mr. Kennedy."

TheNew York Times examined the records of CAP and found no evidence Alito was an active member.

Yet the Washington paper found that on Sept. 7 Kennedy updated his personal information on the Owl Club's online directory, including his current D.C. address.

Yet another reason no one should give a hoot about Kennedy's bluster.

I hope the useless libs keep it up so that even the most mentally-challened amongst them, GET IT finally. I am still waiting for the day when a real American conservative (not many there) in Congress will stand up and DEMAND THE LIBS EXPLAIN WHAT THEY DO FOR AMERICA!!!

The NYT won't print that embarassing encounter either...

"Kennedy forgets to lead by example"

That's amusing. Kennedy shows no signs of ever having led by example.

Jay Leno said last night that Kennedy himself had belonged to an all male club in college - but that women weren't allowed in for their own safety.

He leads by example when doing shots at the Senate bar.

But for TED KENNEDY to lecture ANYBODY about ethics...

Technically you have to know how to do it before you can forget it.

It is amazing...

"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy belongs to a social club for Harvard students and alumni that was evicted from campus nearly 20 years ago after refusing to allow female members."

"According to the online membership directory of the Owl Club, the Massachusetts Democrat updated his personal information -- including the address of his home, which is in his wife's name -- on Sept. 7."

"The club has long been reviled on campus as "sexist" and "elitist" and, in 1984, was booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws..."
