Enough With all This Ted Kennedy Glorification Already!

Check out This Article from GQ by the late Michael Kelly from 1990. Don't remember this one making a huge splash or Kennedy responding to it. Then again, in 1990 I was probably more excited about the impending release of Use Your Illusion I and II to buy GQ. God bless the internet!

There's lots of stuff here that got Clinton in all kinds of trouble. But that bloated, drunk, murdering man-child was never called to task. And now that he's dead he gets sainthood. Sickening.

From Kelly's article:
Kennedy regularly finds himself in unseemly scenes. One East Coast playboy recalls an incident a few years ago in a popular Palm Beach bar when “a definitely drunk” Kennedy shoved him against the bar and spilled his beer as the senator rushed out the door with a blonde so young, the man at first mistook Kennedy for an angry father come to take home an underage daughter. Dropping in for a 2 A.M. drink in the Manhattan bar American Trash in January 1989, Kennedy reportedly got into a shouting match with an obnoxious (and possibly intoxicated) off-duty bouncer, which climaxed with the senator’s throwing his drink in the other fellow’s face. Unkind Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr writes of Kennedy as “Fat Boy” and says it isn’t really considered summer in Cape Cod until the senator drives on the sidewalk for the first time. Reporters wonder at his behavior. “He really will do anything at all,” says veteran Washington gossip columnist Diana McLelan, “I think he’s mad.” Says Bill Thomas, writer of the “Heard on the Hill” column for Roll Call, the well-regarded newspaper of Capitol Hill, “He’s off the reservation…out of control…He has no compunctions whatsoever.” Thomas likens Kennedy and Dodd to “two guys in a fraternity who have been loosed upon the world.”

Oh and I hear he's getting a burial in Arlington. WTF?!!?! I bet in the coming years all these people from his past are finally going to have their say. As soon as the Dirty Liberal Media get tired of stroking his corpse.

TED KENNEDY: TRAITOR

"Errr ahhh this Soviet jock strap is chaffing mah bahlls."


Traitor. Yeah I said it. After you read this interview with author Paul Kengor over at Frontpage you'll be saying it too.

Seems back in 1983 he reached out to the KGB to help undermine President Reagan. He advised the Soviets to improve their PR work over here so as to make Ronnie look like the bad guy. Sickening stuff.

"The thrust of the letter is that Reagan had to be stopped, meaning his alleged aggressive defense policies, which then ranged from the Pershing IIs to the MX to SDI, and even his re-election bid, needed to be stopped. It was Ronald Reagan who was the hindrance to peace. That view of Reagan is consistent with things that Kennedy said and wrote at the time, including articles in sources like Rolling Stone (March 1984) and in a speeches like his March 24, 1983 remarks on the Senate floor the day after Reagan’s SDI speech, which he lambasted as “misleading Red-Scare tactics and reckless Star Wars schemes.”

Even more sickening in that this letter has been out there for years and the media have not run with it. So I feel it is my duty to help spread it around. I'm good like that.

Read the entire interview.
