An historical anecdote tied to a current controversy by way of a happy semantic confluence

Before his speech to the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies yesterday, the last time Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) demanded a “pullout timeline” was in March of 1983, when—lit on whisky sours and suffering from persistent lumbar discomfort—he asked then wife Joan Bennett Kennedy if she were “almost there, because if not, you’re just gonna have to, you know…finish up yourself, honey.  Big Teddy needs a nap.”

    Big Ted is a hell of a man. Nice story.

  2. JWebb says:

    If only Joseph had practiced this with Rose after Bobby, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

  3. Beto Ochoa says:

    Giving weight to any Kennedy lecturing on morals of any sort is beyond insane. This rabble that fattened itself on the teat of organized crime prefers rape to a good pickup line and leaves its ensemened and pregnant concubines to drown or strangled and bludgeoned in the woods. That they are given any respect by the people of Massachusetts calls into question the quality of fabric that backwards ass state is formed from. LOL

  4. Big Al says:

    Wouldn’t a pullout of this nature by the Senator merely involve a half inch of hip movement coupled with the outward thrust of his gianormous distended belly?

  5. Salt Lick says:

    “Afterwards, Senator Kennedy retired to Baltimore’s James Joyce Irish Pub and entertained fellow patrons with a unique vesion of Shirley Ellis’”Name Game.”

  6. David Beatty says:

    For even more entertainment, check out Day by Day for January 28.  Chris Muir absolutely zings Senator Kennedy.

  7. JWebb says:

    And another thing. . . “happy semantic confluence” sounds so, I don’t know, Dirty.

    I like it.
