Entry: Teddy Kennedy's Still Swimming in the Stuff Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/teddy_kennedys_still_swimming_in_the_stuff#10491 Post contents: Black dog sed: The bottom line is that Kennedy has served the country well in the Senate for 45 years, when he could have spent those years idling on a yacht or a ski slope like certain others… It is ridiculous…half the time, Kennedy is drunk out of his mind, the Kennedy kids are notorious drug addicts and womanizers, like JFK himself. The entire Kennedy family has been a blot on American politics for years, in the tradition of the Joe Kennedy himself, the original Wall Street crook who made millions on the depression, and had ties with the Mafia. We can credit the money Kennedy has to pay for the staff that takes care of him, and does the leg work that makes him look halfway credible. It is the Kennedy wealth that makes Ted Kennedy a credible politician, not any of his personal attributes. The point Taki is making is valid…Kennedy left the scene of the accident, and that poor girl lay there in the water, while the Kennedy staff planned out the PR to save his sorry ass from the trouble he got himself into. Say what you will about Bush2, he’s never cheated on his wife, or left some women in a predicament like that. While I find the Bush family as detestable as any family in politics, that does nothing to excuse the Kennedy family. When I think of Richard Nixon, and his background, and his identification with the middle class, losing the presidency with the coup that Ted Kennedy engineered, I can find no sympathy for him or any of his stinking family.
