Ted Kennedy's secret love child
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 09:00 PM by RebelOne
Sean Insannity is having a field day with this story.

Ted K’s secret love child a secret no more
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa
Wednesday, January 18, 2006

The National Enquirer splashes this week with a shocking story about Sen. Ted Kennedy’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 tabloid’s source, the boy, named Christopher, just celebrated his 21st birthday and is “mature enough to make his own choices about his background and biological father.”

A Kennedy family confidante told the Enquirer, “This is one of the biggest secrets in the Kennedy family and known to only a few people including Ted’s ex-wife, Joan.”

1. The Boston herald makes the Enquirer
look like a news paper. the boson herald will print anything true or not so does the enquirer. If this didn't come out years ago it isn't true.

3. Even if it's true, so what?
Does this counteract the product of rape that Strom Thurmond had?

22. I don't see how they can make a big deal of then
If he wasn't married at the time or if she wasn't married to someone else. But you know the right-wingers. Single parent=bad. If this is even true.

23. Well, they have the lucky fortune of owning every major media outlet
Which they use to destroy any and all good, decent individuals, especially those they envy or disagree with.

9. Just What I Thought
And I love how the MSM tried to euphemestically refer to that offspring like she was a love child. As if a black maid in South Carolina in the 1920's could really say "No" to her white boss

7. It's all they have
No facts. Just smears.

Try this simple exercise: Search Google News 'Ted Kennedy'.

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=ted+kennedy&btnG=Search+News

You'll get the idea.

10. Love child?
What a horrible thought! Can you imagine anything more scandalous than LOVE producing a CHILD?

Having said that, I hope he looks like his mama . . .

12. Why not a story about JC Watts love child or Dan Burtons?
And it seems like Laura Bush and Ted Kennedy have something in common when it comes to cars.

Now how many DUI's did Cheney and W have.

The right wing nuts love to hate Ted Kennedy.

16. Ted Kennedy's not the kind of guy who would shirk his child
The report says he sent checks, but was otherwise a deadbeat dad. That alone is enough to prove it false.

Gotta love their masthead, at least

Conservative Voice
http://www.theconservativevoice.com/articles/article.html?id=11636
Note that the Senator's "spokesgal Melissa Wagoner last night called the tabloid tale 'irresponsible fiction.'" I guess they think "spokesgal" is better than "little lady" ...

National Ledger
http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27262829.shtml
Another crayon masthead with a "spokesgal" story.

Hub Politics
http://www.hubpolitics.com/archives/000157.php
Yup, "Spokesgal"! Straight from the National Enquirer to the Boston Herald to Hub Politics to the freeping wingnut ...

Pardon My English
http://www.pardonmyenglish.com/archives/2006/01/sen_kennedys_se.html
This time, straight from the National Enquirer to the Boston Herald to Hub Politics to PARDON MY ENGLISH to the freeping wingnut ...

Why, oh why, isn't liberal media giving this irresponsible fiction more play?

25. If he's spreading out Kennedy DNA, I hope he has a village of kids
No man is perfect. if he's slipped up in the past, hey, who hasn't? But overall, just look at what he's done for America and Massachusetts.
