“While [Ted] 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.”
A little item from the FBI’s 1961 files which Judicial Watch has uncovered. Will we see this one in the legacy media anytime soon? Um, I doubt it.

I have ignored the wall-to-wall media coverage of the death, the Valentine (and airbrushing) analysis and the funeral. It was easy to do because I rarely watch television or read newspapers anyhow. But when I heard that the ol’ fraud would be buried in Arlington, well…
I know, as many people do not seem to, that Arlington National Cemetery is full of military paper-pushers who never spent two seconds in combat. It is not just heroic ground, despite the heroes who are buried there. But, really, now, Ted never served in the military, and he had zero to do with the assassinations of his brothers. (We can hope.) He doesn’t deserve to be there just because he was part of one of the most ambitious, political and publicity-hungry families in American history. Bah.
UPDATE: I’m wrong. He served as a private in the Army, from 1951-53, after he was expelled from Harvard. But, according to this report, his daddy made sure he never had to fight in Korea.
Somehow I don’t think naming Obamacare after the famously overweight boozer and skirt-chaser is going to boost the chances of it passing. Not even if, as Dan Riehl says, there are some new features:
"…amending it to include mandatory long distance swimming lessons, as well as CPR and breath control classes for all Americans. Apparently one young woman wasn’t enough for Teddy. Now he can play a roll in the un-timely demise of more Americans than he could even count."
The Dems and their captive media may have loved the deceased hypocrite, but many Americans did not. So it’s still going to be pass-it-at-your-political-peril for those up for re-election next year.

Despite widespread opposition, the illegal immigration bill marches to passage.
"There’s something creepy about a political class so determined to impose a vast transformative bill cooked up backstage in metaphorically smoke-filled rooms on a nation that doesn’t want it. It’s an affront to republican government and quasi-European in its disdain for the citizenry." –Mark Steyn
Why it’s almost as if Mexico City was calling the shots. There are times when this democracy looks and acts exactly like the oligarchy south of the border.
UPDATE Well, what do you know. But even saved from this, we still have an open border that needs fencing. Fred liked the way it turned out, too.
