FBI files: Teddy Kennedy was exactly what you always thought he was

New FBI documents have been revealed that prove something conservatives have always known: Teddy Kennedy was a vile, perverted traitor who was willing – eager, in fact – to sell out his country to foreign leftists.

It was unfair of us to call Teddy Kennedy a vile, perverted traitor. Our apologies. We should have called him a fat, vile, perverted traitor.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained previously redacted material from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) file of the late Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, who died in August 2009 from brain cancer. Judicial Watch obtained the records pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit originally filed on June 9, 2010 (Judicial Watch v. FBI (Case No. 10-963)).
The documents include a December 28, 1961, State Department memo describing a tour of several Latin American countries taken by then-Assistant District Attorney of Suffolk County Kennedy. This document as it was originally made public was almost completely redacted. After an initial challenge by Judicial Watch, a version with fewer redactions was released. Judicial Watch continued to argue that the blackouts were baseless and, after six more months, the FBI relented. Among the statements previously withheld but now made available to Judicial Watch:

“While Kennedy was in Santiago he made arrangements to ‘rent’ a brothel for an entire night. Kennedy allegedly invited one of the Embassy chauffeurs to participate in the night’s activities.”

“[I]n each country Kennedy insisted on interviewing ‘the angry young men’ of the country. He wanted to meet with communists and others who had left-wing views. . . . Ambassador Freeman, Bogota, said the first person whom Kennedy wanted to meet was Lauchlin Currie.” (The document subsequently identifies Currie as a person who “had been mentioned in Washington investigations of Soviet spy rings.”)

“[I]n Mexico Kennedy asked Ambassador Mann that certain left-wingers be invited to the Embassy residence where interviews could be held. Mann took the strong position that he would not invite such people and stated that if any such interviews were to be conducted, all arrangements should be made by Kennedy himself.”

Add these stories to the declassified Soviet revelations that Teddy had volunteered to work with the U.S.S.R. to undermine President Reagan and the final portrait of Kennedy is what might be called horribly unflattering.

So please fix yourself Teddy’s favorite drink, a Chivas and soda and join us in this toast:

May you burn in hell, you perverted old traitor.

Teddy Kennedy’s career explained: “He suffered a tremendous blow on the head”

“He [Ted Kennedy] took a tremendous blow on the head,” says Hersh. In interviews following the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion and amnesia”

Burton Hersh, described by US News as Teddy Kennedy’s “lifelong biographer”, has moved from writing biographies to rewriting history.

Newsweek’s Washington Whispers has the details:

Now, a year after Kennedy died, his lifelong biographer Burton Hersh, armed with fresh interviews with Kennedy’s mistress at the time, tells Whispers that the whole July 1969 episode should have been handled as a simple crash, leaving the senator’s legacy untainted. “It was a car accident,” he says. “Ted was a terrible driver. He never paid much attention to where he was going.”

“He took a tremendous blow on the head,” says Hersh. In interviews following the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion and amnesia, he says.

A tremendous blow on the head? We think Hersh left a few words out of that last sentence. If should have read:

“In interviews for the next 40 years after the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion about the meaning of the Constitution and amnesia about his role in killing Mary Joe Kopechne.”

Stupidest quote ever about the Massachusetts
senate election

“Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said THIS about Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat…’Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident? For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.’”

Remarkably, Van Hollen saw neither the irony nor the absurdity of his statement.

The photo above, of course, was taken at the Chappaquidick bridge that became famous the last time anyone gave Ted Kennedy the keys to the car.

No, really, Mr. President, an appearance won’t be necessary.

Being a gentleman, Republican candidate Scott Brown wants to keep it a fair race. So he was the one who advised The Greatest President In History to “Stay out of Massachusetts.”

You couldn’t blame Martha Coakley, the Democrat running for Teddy Kennedy’s old Senate seat, if she had of uttered these words in response to a White House offer of “help”.

“Barack Obama has been conspicuously absent from the Massachusetts special election that will replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate,” HotAir.com reported. “After Obama flopped at a Deval Patrick fundraiser in 2009, Martha Coakley may not be terribly anxious to have a similar embarrassment in an already-creaky campaign.”

Being a gentleman, Republican candidate Scott Brown wants to keep it a fair race. So he was the one who advised The Greatest President In History to “Stay out of Massachusetts.”

However, neither Brown nor Coakley could persuade President Obama to stay out of the race completely. He’s never met a camera that he didn’t like, so the White House felt compelled to support for Coakley in this embedded YouTube video.

The video was long enough for President Obama to speak about the evil special interests pouring money into the Massachusetts, but not long enough to mention that evil lobbyists and special interests are pouring money into Coakley’s campaign. Like the $680,000.00 SEIU is spending on the Democrat’s advertising and the $50.00 per person they’re paying union members to carry her signs.

But remember, Massachusetts, as The Greatest President In History said, this election could represent the one vote necessary to defeat ObamaCare, Cap-and-Trade and a host of other leftwing boondoggles.

And vote accordingly.

David Gergen gets a civics lesson from Republican senate candidate Scott Brown

Scott Brown is the Massachusetts Republican who looks like he may, maybe, might, could possibly pull off an upset in next Tuesday’s election to replace Teddy Kennedy in the Senate.

Civics. Yeah, that’s what they used to call it. Now they call it a course they don’t offer anymore.

Scott Brown is the Massachusetts Republican who looks like he may, maybe, might, could possibly pull off an upset in next Tuesday’s election to replace Teddy Kennedy in the Senate.

If you listen closely you can hear liberal heads exploding in the background as Scott Brown explains how politics is supposed to work.

Gergen later admitted that he “got stuffed” by Brown, which immediately caught the attention of Barney Frank. Frank was reportedly disconsolate to learn that it was sports terminology.

Let’s hope that the people of Massachusetts, who have routinely returned the likes of Ted Kennedy and Franks to office, get it right this time.

The History Channel compares the Kennedys to the Corleones

The History Channel has announced that it is planning a new series based on America’s greatest crime family – the Kennedys.

godfather-kennedy The History Channel has announced that it is planning a new series based on America’s greatest crime family – the Kennedys.

Hey, don’t blame us if you don’t like the comparison. Blame the History Channel. Here’s how The Associated Press reports it:

The cable network says the eight-hour series is called “The Kennedys” and will be told in a multigenerational manner akin to “The Godfather.” The network says the series will depict a manipulative, egocentric father living out his ambitions through his sons.

The personal drama of the clan will be included in the saga as well as the era’s major events. Some of those include the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis and the civil rights struggle.

Who do they think they’re kidding? Nobody wants to watch a dramatized version of the Bay of Pigs. They want to see JFK boinking Marilyn Monroe. They want to see Teddy Kennedy and Chris Dodd making a waitress sandwich. They want the sexual escapades, the drunks and the criminals of the Kennedy clan.

Call it Godfather IV, the Teddy Kennedy Story. Or what would have happened if Fredo had become the Godfather?

Ted Kennedy admitted to sleeping with more than 1,000 women

The National Enquirer says that Teddy Kennedy wanted his recently-published memoirs to include details of his sexual conquests. Unfortunately, the primmest and most-proper of the legendarily prim and proper Kennedy clan censored the embarrassing revelations out of his autobiography.

You want somma 'dis? You want somma 'dis? You want somma 'dis?
You want somma 'dis? You want somma 'dis? You want somma 'dis?

We’re almost embarrassed to say this, but two-headed aliens and Hollywood gossip aside, the National Enquirer seems to do a good job with political reporting. Consider the sad saga of John Edwards and his baby mama.

Now the Enquirer says that Teddy Kennedy wanted his recently-published memoirs to include details of his sexual conquests. Unfortunately, the primmest and most-proper of the legendarily prim and proper Kennedy clan censored the embarrassing revelations out of his autobiography.

Here’s how the Enquirer reports it:

Ted Kennedy slept with more than a thousand women – and spent at least $10 million in hush money over the years to keep his skirt-chasing a secret!

The late senator made those sensational confessions in a chapter of his autobiography, but horrified family members and advisers cut them out.

Before he died of brain cancer at age 77 on Aug. 25, the womanizing politician also revealed that he planned to seduce Mary Jo Kopechne on the night she drowned, said a close source.

Our sources say it was only 500 women, not 1000. But since Kennedy was seeing double most of his adult life, the mistake is understandable.

Robert Byrd rushed to hospital after fall, Massachusetts legislature races to name replacement

In response to Senator Robert Bryd being hospitalized, and fresh from rushing through a bill that will allow them to overrule themselves and appoint a temporary replacement for Senator Ted Kennedy, the Massachusetts legislature introduced a bill that would allow them to name replacement senators from any state.

West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd annoys the Massachusetts legislator by refusing to die
West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd annoys the Massachusetts legislator by refusing to die

Senator down, Senator down. ABC News reports on West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd’s latest health problems:

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.V., will remain in the hospital for “a few days” after falling down Tuesday morning in his Northern Virginia home, his office said in a statement.

In addition to his fall, the 91-year-old senator has an elevated white cell count, a possible sign of an infection.

In response, and fresh from rushing through a bill that will allow them to overrule themselves and appoint a temporary replacement for Senator Ted Kennedy, the Massachusetts legislature introduced a bill that would allow them to name replacement senators from any state.

“‘Senator Mike Dukakis, Democrat from West Virginia’ has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” asked one unidentified Massachusetts legislator.

The grassy knoll was on the right side of the street. The extreme right side.

A crazy theory is advanced in “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,” an article written by Eric Boehlert at Media Matters.

Aha! Kennedy's assassination was caused by the Illuminati. Or Barry Goldwater. Or some kind of right wing extremists.
Aha! Kennedy's assassination was caused by the Illuminati. Or Barry Goldwater. Or some kind of right wing extremists.

A new theory claims Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t responsible for the assassination of JFK. Neither was LBJ nor Cuba nor the unions nor the Mob. No, it was caused by “right wing hatred running wild.”

This theory is advanced in “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,” an article written by Eric Boehlert at Media Matters.
Boehlert draws heavily on his experiences in the 1960s which, we assume, may have included ingesting numerous mind-altering substances.

“I’ve been thinking a lot of Kennedy and Dallas as I’ve watched the increasingly violent rhetorical attacks on Obama be unfurled,” Boehlert says, “as Americans yank their kids out of class in order to save them from being exposed to the President of the United States who only wanted to urge them to excel in the classroom. And as unvarnished hate and name-calling passed for health care ‘debate’ this summer.”

“The radical right, aided by a GOP Noise Machine that positively dwarfs what existed in 1963, has turned demonizing Obama–making him into a vile object of disgust–into a crusade,” he continues. “It’s a demented national jihad, the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times.”

Unfortunately for Boehlert, all the individuals and groups suspected in the Kennedy assassination were of the leftist variety. Oswald was an communist wannabe. LBJ was liberal. Cuba was and is communist. And union’s? Pretty much leftists.

So pardon us if we’re confused as hell by Boehlerts’ theory.

But, then, we’re guessing that he’s confused, too.

Teddy Kennedy should have sent his letter to Obama via FedEx

In his healthcare speech President Obama touted a letter he had just received from Ted Kennedy, and the ten days it took to get to the White House clearly demonstrates the folly of President Obama lauding the efficiency of the post office in a separate healthcare speech last month..

In his healthcare speech before a joint session of Congress the other night, President Obama touted a letter he had just received from Ted Kennedy in which the late Lion of the Senate called for passage of health care reform.

And that clearly demonstrates the folly of President Obama lauding the efficiency of the post office in a separate healthcare speech last month.

Kennedy died on August 25. Obama said he received the letter a few days ago. Assuming Kennedy wrote the letter before he died (seems like a relatively safe assumption) that means it took ten days for the letter to get from Boston to Washington, DC despite the fact that its just 440 miles from one to the other and driving time is 7 hours and 41 minutes.

How’s that vaunted post office efficiency working for you, President Obama? Can’t wait until those guys are in charge of healthcare, too.

Top 5 possible successors to Teddy Kennedy

The burning question in Massachusetts today is, “Who will fill Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the U.S. Senate? What the hell. If the rest of the media can speculate on possible successors to Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate, we might as well pitch in our two cents.

The burning question in Massachusetts today is, “Who will fill Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the U.S. Senate now that Joseph P. Kennedy II has opted out of the coronation that could have (some would say ‘should have’) been his?”

What the hell. If the rest of the media can speculate on possible successors to Teddy Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate, we might as well pitch in our two cents.

Our choices make just as much sense as some others we’ve read (such as New York resident Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, or alcoholic Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy, neither of whom are eligible because they don’t live in Massachusetts, for god’s sake).

Listen up, old media. We can speculate just as wildly as you can. Here are our five top choices.

Candidate #1 – Foster Brooks. Sure, he’s been dead for 8 years, but it clear that he follows in the Kennedy tradition and the transition would be seamless.

Candidate #2. Michael Phelps. Who better than a 14-time Olympic gold medal winner to assume Kennedy’s nickname “The Swimmer”?

The best Chappaquiddick joke ever

Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor and long-time friend of Teddy Kennedy, appeared on Diane Rehm’s radio show and revealed something very disturbing about the late senator: he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?

Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor and long-time friend of Teddy Kennedy, appeared on Diane Rehm’s radio show and revealed something very disturbing about the late senator:

“I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was, indeed, Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? That is just the most amazing thing. Its not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too.”

So in honor of The Lion of the Senate, here’s our all-time favorite Teddy Kennedy joke:

An aide went into Rose Kennedy’s bedroom early one morning to tell her the sad news that Jackie had died. “That’s terrible,” the old lady rasped. “Was Teddy driving?”

That, my friends, is a great joke. It’s short (just 29 words), yet manages to include three different Kennedys and evokes Chappaquiddick without mentioning it by name.

Quote of the Day

“He was given everything he had in life. He didn’t earn anything. He is Thurston Howell III, and he has the nerve to say to people who built small businesses, restaurants and gas stations that they should have their money stolen from them” through higher taxes.

Shameless Kennedys send grandchildren out to shill for ObamaCare at Teddy’s funeral

The torch has been passed. Teddy may be dead, but shameless socialist hucksterism is still alive and well in the Kennedy family. They actually sent Teddy’s young grandsons out to push for ObamaCare at grandpa’s funeral.

The torch has been passed. Teddy may be dead, but shameless socialist hucksterism is still alive and well in the Kennedy family. They actually sent Teddy’s young grandsons out to push for ObamaCare at grandpa’s funeral.

“For what my grandpa called the cause of his life,” one grandson said, “as he said so often ‘In every part of this land that every American will have decent quality healthcare as a fundamental right and not a privilege,’ we pray to the Lord.”

“For my grandfather’s brave promise last summer that, ‘The work begins anew, the hope rises again, and the dream lives on,’ we pray to the Lord,” another grandson said.

And then, being good Kennedys, they downed a couple Chivas & sodas and peeked up their girl cousin’s dresses.

HuffPo writer thinks Kopechne might have been happy to sacrifice her life to advance Teddy’s career

Good news for Mary Jo Kopechne’s family. She would be happy to die a horrible death, gasping for air as her lungs filled with the cold, murkhy waters off Chappaquiddick Island. Seriously. That’s what ex-lawyer, blogger and writer Melissa Lafsky says in the Huffington Post.

chappaquiddick-kennedy

Good news for Mary Jo Kopechne’s family. She would be happy to die a horrible death, gasping for air as her lungs filled with the cold, murky waters off Chappaquiddick Island.

HAD SHE ONLY KNOWN THAT THE DRUNKEN DOLT WHO DROVE HER OFF THAT BRIDGE WOULD DO SO MUCH TO ADVANCE THE CAUSE OF LIBERALISM.

Seriously. That’s what ex-lawyer, blogger and writer Melissa Lafsky says in the Huffington Post:

We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don’t know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

Still, ignorance doesn’t preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn’t automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.

Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.

Yeah, maybe. But as the old saying goes, Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

A Friday afternoon salute to the late,
great Teddy Kennedy

What better way to end the week and honor the memory of the Lion of the Senate than to partake of his favorite drink. Teddy reportedly called Chivas Regal “that life-sustaining liquid” and his favorite drink was Chivas & Soda.

Budweiser may be the king of beers, but Chivas Regal is apparently the drink of princes.

Teddy reportedly called Chivas Regal “that life-sustaining liquid” and his favorite drink was Chivas & Soda.

So please join us and do as we’re going to do. Take off work a little early, head for your favorite watering hole, and order yourself a big fistful of Chivas & Soda. Repeat as necessary. Follow that by making a waitress sandwich with one of your closest friends and the nearest cocktail waitresss. Then sit back and watch the sun set.

Ahhhh, life is good when you’re a Kennedy. And death ain’t so bad, either, as long as it hasn’t been forced upon you by ObamaCare.

ABC laments the unfulfilled potential of JFK, Jr, neglects to note his record of abject failure

ABC’s Chris Cuomo and Claire Shipman noted the tenth anniversary of the death John F. Kennedy, Jr. by dubbing him “the prince of Camelot.” Barf!

No one could possibly live up to the liberal media's expectations for John F. Kennedy, Jr.
No one could possibly live up to the liberal media's expectations for John F. Kennedy, Jr.

For God’s sake, man, will this senseless Kennedy worship never end?

ABC’s Chris Cuomo and Claire Shipman noted the tenth anniversary of the death John F. Kennedy, Jr. by dubbing him “the prince of Camelot.”

Shipman said his “very existence had somehow come to represent a critical link to our fairy tale past. And always, always the possibility of another chapter.”

“And a decade later,” Shipman whimpered, “it’s still the potential we remember, the what-might-have-been.”

The key phrase here is “fairy tale,” because the reality of John John’s life veers quickly into a display of no potential whatsoever.

It’s also been widely reported that “the prince” wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He failed the New York bar exam twice. He published George, a money-losing political magazine. He dated the horse-faced Sarah Jessica Parker and the whorish Madonna. And as a result of inexperience, arrogance or stupidity (take your choice), he flew his airplane into the ocean at night.

The fairy tale of unfulfilled Kennedy potential took another blow last year when John John’s sister Caroline (the princess of Camelot, we assume) made an embarrassing and quickly-aborted run for the Senate in New York.

Of course, the liberal media spoon feeds tasty fairy tale morsels to the masses and they eat it up.

If you’ll excuse us, we have an unfulfilled urge to vomit.

Black Chamber of Commerce leader says Kennedy’s health care ideas “just don’t work”

The problem with liberals is that most of them don’t live in the real world. Not even in the same neighborhood. Hair-brained schemes hatched in the hallowed halls of academe don’t work any more than the professors who concoct them.

Then there’s Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, someone with both feet planted squarely in the real world. Here’s what Alford had to say about lib healthcare concepts:

“Yeah, I love Ted Kennedy. I love what he stands for, but he has come out over the years with some ideas that I think just don’t work. I remember his office called me and they wanted to – any business that had over 100 employers would have to have medical insurance for all the employees. And he was aiming this at fast food chains. And I said, all the McDonald’s and Burger King owners are going to do is make sure he doesn’t have 100 employees because he can’t afford it. You can’t make him do this. They’ll be fewer jobs.”

Fewer jobs? Perfect. That would allow the libs to test some of their equally ineffective job creation theories.
