Look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary, and you'll see Teddy's picture, IMO.

Too bad the scorn didn’t come about 37 years earlier.

...progressives...

How do you label a group of people who want to this to be 1917 Russia, progressive?

I'm not playing into that ploy one bit.

It's been frustrated at every turn by a handful of yachtsmen, Kennedy included, who don't want to see windmills from their verandas

This fact should be pushed at every Kennedy supporter as an illustration of his lifelong hypocrisy.

When Deval Patrick became governor of Massachusetts, one of the first things he did was add $30 MILLION to the creation of the "Rose Kennedy Gardens" or whatever the stupid thing is called, a strip of grass and plants and walkway where the old expressway used to be.

Kennedy is taking millions of taxpayer dollars to build a monument to his MOTHER. Not only are there public buildings named for the family of the bootlegger and Nazi-appeaser Joe Kennedy, now there's heaps of money which could go to THE CHIIIILDREN!!!! being poured into a public gardens project which certainly shouldn't be costing this much, and also shouldn't be named for a family which has more than its share of pyramids.

Kennedy "brings home the bacon" in terms of public works projects for the unions--that's all he's ever done to ensure he stays in office. Other than pay-offs, his legacy is such that he would be nothing if he didn't have two murdered brothers, and the cojones to make it seem like we're accomplices after the fact in those murders if we don't vote his drunken, murdering butt into office over and over.

I'm SO glad that he's getting crap for this, a project almost anyone can agree is a good thing, and it's about time the left feels what the rest of us feel about this human embarassment.

LOL. Great to see Teddy K. getting heat, although I have a proposal that would keep his sailing vistas absolutely pristine:

I propose that instead of the wind farm project there be a nuclear power plant sited as close to Hyannisport as possible, maybe even within town limits!!

I don’t think such wind farms offer much hope of making a real dent in out overall electricity needs, but new nuke plants, now that is the way to go!!!!!!

the irony is the 84% in mass that support the wind mill are going to vote for the old wind bag the next time he runs for election. kennedy is not the hypocrite (everyone knows what he’s about), it’s the people who keep on voting for him that are the hypocrites.

In 2004, Sen. John Warner, the Virginia Republican, added a last-minute rider to an urgent Iraq War funding bill that forbade the Army Corps of Engineers to spend money permitting offshore wind projects.

I always thought Warner was just another moneyed Rockefeller Republican...and I was right!

As with Orin Hatch, he's in the Rich Senators Club, and they protect their own.

No. We ALL vote for people we don't agree with 100%. I can't think of any politician I've voted for with whom I agreed on every issue.

Kennedy is a hypocrite because he says things like this:

"Kennedy rejected suggestions that he doesn't like the wind farm because it would be near his Cape home, and said the project probably wouldn't be visible from the Kennedy compound.He said he's against the project because it would create a range of environmental and navigational problems and would hurt tourism, one of the area's key industries."

exactly the point. they all know he’s b.s.ing them, but they still will vote for him. what’s the old adage? fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
