Teddy Kennedy And The He-Man, Woman-Haters Club

From the Washington Times:

The eight-term senator belonged to an all-male social club -- the Owl -- at Harvard University. The Owl refused to admit women until it was forced to do so during the 1980s, according to records kept by the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper.

A Kennedy spokeswoman said it was an entirely different matter.

"No one can question Senator Kennedy's commitment to equality, justice and civil rights," said Laura Capps. "What he was part of was a social club, not a radical group pushing a radical agenda."

Anyway, she said, even though women were admitted to the university during Mr. Kennedy's tenure, they weren't fully integrated to the campus until much later.

So there.

2 Kennedy and his liberal allies are nothing but hypocrits. It's the classic do what I say, not what I do routine. For Kennedy to lecture anyone on morals is deplorable, and his performance overall in the hearings would make a normal person puke.

3 JJ, they're all hypocrites, some just happen to be pro-American. It's disgusting to think of the depths to which we've sunk in this country.

4 Don;t forget the other anti-woman group that he is a member of. This group has raped, killed and mistreated women for years. The group is of course, the Kennedy Family!

5 Yeah, well Kennedy is not progressive enough for me. As a progressive (who supports the troops while voting for politicians who cut the military budget every chance they get) I couldn't care less what Mary Jo Kopechne's grandchildren think about Ted Kennedy. What we need on the Supreme Court is balance as mandated in Article XXIV of the Constitution. Some centrist like Barbara Boxer, George Soros or maybe even a scholar like Al Franken.
