Teddy Finally Makes It ~ The Kennedy Dumbass

So WHY NOW WITH TEDDY? While there are plenty of reasons to name Ted Kennedy the DOTW virtually EVERY week of the year, I have resisted - knowing that if there was ever a slow week for DUMBASSES I could always count on Ted.

Now, as intimated above, Ted Kennedy is definitely low-hanging fruit in the world of dumbass detection. So, I'm not going to dig up old stuff, such as Chappaquiddick, where 29 year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, a secretary for his older brother Bobby, died at the hands of Teddy. Nope - not gonna go there. But YOU can - check out Y Ted K, a site that has more than you will ever want to know on this murder, ummm, accident.

One could easily write an epic novel-sized book to document the stupid shit said and done by this asshole. In recent memory, there were too many outrageously daft speeches Teddy gave during the 2004 campaign in support of fellow DUMBASS John Kerry to recount.

For instance, while Teddy has championed the estate tax and fought against tax shelters, he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have sheltered most of his family's fortune from the IRS. One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.

Another example: While he fought for the development of alternate energy sources, he opposed a plan to build a wind-power generating facility to provide clean, cheap power to Cape Cod. Why? The wind turbines would be constructed just off the coast from the Kennedy property in Hyannis - one of the family's favorite yachting and sailing areas.

Recently, his relentless attacks on the character of Samuel Alito concerning his once-documented affiliation with a "radical" conservative group at Princeton led to the disclosure of Teddy's own closet-banished-chauvenist organization, called the Owl Club, to which he has been a paying member for 52 years.

"I joined when I...52 years ago, I was a member of the Owl Club, which was basically a fraternal organization...I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100." When asked about being a member of a club that practices sexual discrimination, he replied "I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can."

Remember, THIS is the Senator who has "Grave and serious concerns" about Samuel Alito's character. BWAAA-HAHAHAHAHA!! It doesn't get any better than this, folks!
