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.
Keep pounding him, lol.
A few weeks ago, my 14yr old daughter was in the car with me, and in front of us was an old Dodge with a bumper sticker that said, "Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun." She asked me what it meant, when I explained...without bias, all she said was, "and he never went to jail!?!" Now, I ask you, if a 14 year old has a better grasp of the situation, what does that tell us?
Thanks for the ping!
