Ted Kennedy Slept With Over 1000 Women

and spent $10M in hush money over his lifetime.

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.

"While dictating his memoirs into a tape recorder, Ted decided to tell the whole truth about his life - including his love life. He said that his first lover was an Irish nanny. She was about 19, and Ted was only 13," the source divulged.

"When his mother found out, she sent the nanny back to Ireland. Rose made Ted pray on his knees for hours to ask forgiveness. But Ted recalled that even his sore knees couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

Sen. Kennedy likes a good joke

Apparently, Sen. Kennedy was always on the look-out for a good Chappaquiddick jokes.

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. It's 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.

That's such an amazing thing.

Ace has a good post about this.

Bob & Valerie & Ted & Mary Jo

Karl at Hot Air did a comparison on the obits for Ted Kennedy and Robert Novack and when Mary Jo was mentioned and when Valerie Plame was mentioned. Interesting stuff.

Interesting Kennedy story

This kinda puts the whole man into perspective....

Perhaps this seems unfair. From all available evidence, God created our elected officials to drink and screw around. Arrogance, too, is common. So is sexual recklessness (witness Gary Hart, Robert Bauman and Barney Frank); power dements as well as corrupts. But Kennedy’s behavior stands out. The two most infamous Terrible Teddy stories make the point. Both take place at Washington’s La Brasserie, where Kennedy is a favorite customer.

Brasserie I: In December 1985, just before he announced he would run for president in 1988, Kennedy allegedly manhandled a pretty young woman employed as a Brasserie waitress.

Brasserie II: On September 25, 1987, Kennedy and a young blonde woman—identified by several sources as a congressional lobbyist—allegedly got carried away at a wine-fueled lunch in a private room upstairs and succumbed to the temptations of the carpet, where they were surprised in a state of semi-undress and wholehearted passion by waitress Frauke Morgan.

Kennedy and Chappaquiddick

ABC News has an article up saying, "Chappaquiddick's Indiscretions Forever Tarnished Kennedy".
It goes on to talk about how Sen. Kennedy was "always haunted by the ghost of 1969, despite his accomplishments".

Am I the only one who thinks driving a car into a lake, leaving the scene without providing help or assistance to the passenger in the car, and then waiting 10 hours to report the incident SHOULD 'haunt' you? A woman died and he did nothing to assist her. He was more concerned with himself. That should be part of his legacy. I realize the man finally straightened up after 60 years and yeah for that, but another human being died because of him. And let not forget...he really wasn't held accountable to society for the incident.

Sen. Byrd wants to rename Health Care bill after Kennedy

The Democrats new marketing strategy to pass health care legislation is to name the thing after Sen. Kennedy:

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the only senator to have served longer than the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), mourned his friend Wednesday, saying his "heart and soul weeps."

Byrd said he hoped healthcare reform legislation in the Senate would be renamed in memoriam of Kennedy.

"In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American," Byrd said.

I'm glad to see the Dems are staying classy with the death of Kennedy. It would be so unlike them to turn his funeral into a campaign rally.
