Earlier this week Ted Kennedy was interviewed by Andy Hiller of the local NBC affiliate. Hiller asked Kennedy about his belonging to The Owles, an all male club at Harvard. He asked Kennedy if he was a member and Kennedy said no, he just pays $100 per year, for 54 years.
Question: Do any of you pay $100 per year for half a century to an organization that you don’t belong to? Just curious, would love to hear from you if you do.
Hiller also asked Ted if he would pass muster if he went before the Senate Judiciary Committe. Kennedy’s reply, “No, probably not.”
And that was before THIS,
Ted Kâ??s secret love child a secret no more
The National Enquirer splashes this week with a shocking story about Sen. Ted Kennedyâ??s secret love child with a Cape Cod woman whom the mag says he dated during his days as a swinging single.
According to the tabloidâ??s source, the boy, named Christopher, just celebrated his 21st birthday and is â??mature enough to make his own choices about his background and biological father.â?Â
A Kennedy family confidante told the Enquirer, â??This is one of the biggest secrets in the Kennedy family and known to only a few people including Tedâ??s ex-wife, Joan.â? As for the senator, his spokesgal Melissa Wagoner last night called the tabloid tale â??irresponsible fiction.â?Â
Hereâ??s the story according to the Enquirer: Back in 1983, Kennedy, then 51, took up with Caroline Bilodeau, an attractive brunette, several months before divorcing Joan, the mother of his three kids â?? Kara, Ted Jr. and Patrick.
Luckily for his “love child”, his mother was smart enough not to raise him as a Kennedy,
She has always been very protective of Christopher and wanted him to have a normal life, not the life a Kennedy lives.
In honor of the senior senator, today’s word of the day is,
