Ted Kennedy

right.

And also when interviewed in an FBI investigation around the possibility of a murder plot intended for Ted Kennedy by a follower of LeVay's, the FBI concluded that LeVay's, quote, interest in the Church of Satan was strictly from a monetary point of view.

Oh, yeah.

That's the kind of guy we're talking about.

I could go further.

I mean, in a more egregious case, Shereen, this is way before you, Ted Kennedy.

Oh my God, he stepped up to touch Ted Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick accident where Mary Jo Kopechny died.

I, I talk for hours with friends, but I can't vote for Kennedy.

It was in 80 when Kennedy was running against Carter.

I'm sorry.

I cannot vote for Kennedy.

I know he articulates my worldview way more than Carter does, and I want him to push the Democrats a little to the left to fight Reagan, but I just cannot vote for Ted Kennedy.

Yes, his restaurant.

I remember just happened to see the day, and it was right around, it was when Teddy Kennedy had died.

And he immediately deflected, we're not going to talk about my indiscretions on a day when one of our greatest senators died.

Brilliant.

So today he went right into the name of the dorm at Louisville where all this took place.

It's named after his dead brother-in-law who died in September 11th.

So once again, it eerily reminded me, I'm like, oh, this is the same dude that didn't do the horror story and threw Teddy Kennedy's being in this today.

So he went with the deflection.

Scholars such as Al-Izrizi and Uba Butua were the founders of geography and navigation.

Maybe he should tune into that because Uncle Teddy Kennedy wasn't so good at navigation and geography, right? And she says, oh, wait, does he think Jews did all that? How embarrassing.

It really is.

It is embarrassing, and it's just plain ignorance.

That's what I owe the voters.

Remember when Mitt Romney was running for, uh, for the Senate and then, and then basically for the Senate and Ted Kennedy was attacking his religion.

And that was a, that was a big issue.

Why isn't this a big issue?

She didn't say a word.

And again, everybody, I'm getting a lot of quiet support from Democrats who've said they're really disgusted by the anti-Mormon bigotry, but I thought that we had exhausted this.

Yes, the Senate run against Ted Kennedy was the gubernatorial run, the presidential run.

Are we not past this? But apparently it's okay to be prejudiced against some religious minorities, just not others.

We had great relationships.

The other thing that's interesting about it, every major Republican that I first met in Washington, I met at Ted Kennedy's house.

I got very friendly with Ted, and he would invite me to things at his house.

And I met Bob Dole for the first time there.

I do think it underscores the difference, though, because Bob Dole was the Senate Republican leader for the long time.

I think he was both majority and minority leader.

Ted Kennedy, while I don't think he ever became Senate president, but in many ways he was the de facto leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate, whether he had that title or not.

And they would work together, Orrin Hatch.

And one quick aside before we get to the fallout of this.

Democrats never entirely forgave Bork, so when he was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1987 as one of the most qualified figures ever chosen to represent the court, figures such as Ted Kennedy led brutal and scurrilous opposition to his nomination, and he was forced to withdraw.

The term borking has now entered our lexicon, and it is one of the biggest problems of our government that the left wants not a court to judge, but one that will legislate.

It all started with bork.

So that was big.

And then right at the same time that that was going on was a little incident called Chappaquiddick, where Ted Kennedy, of course, who had presidential hopes because his brother Bobby and his brother John F., you know, he drove off a bridge on Martha's Vineyard in Chappaquiddick.

And Mary Jo Kopechny died in what was a gigantic scandal of the time.

Yeah.
