Reprehensible Club

It seems the Senior Senator from Massachusetts, who didn’t know how Judge Sam Alito could be part of "that reprehensible club" meaning CAP, is part of a club that does not celebrate diversity. The Washington Times reports:

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy belongs to a social club for Harvard students and alumni that was evicted from campus nearly 20 years ago after refusing to allow female members.

According to the online membership directory of the Owl Club, the Massachusetts Democrat updated his personal information -- including the address of his home, which is in his wife's name -- on Sept. 7.

The club has long been reviled on campus as "sexist" and "elitist" and, in 1984, was booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws, authored by Mr. Kennedy.


Neither this man, nor his party will pay the slightest price for this stunning hypocrisy, but all four of this blog's readers can enjoy it.

You're right -- make that "five."

I did campus radio once. The same deal, you never really know who's listening...

I don't know JK, takes a lot to stun me these days, even given my own dislike of Sen. Kennedy. Maybe its the 6 years of President Bush's "simple Texas boy" shitck and his rantings against the "East Coast liberal establishment". Yeah, who could trust those pompous children of priviledge attending Andover and Yale....

Skull and Bones, they admit women?

The voters of Massachusetts endure the hypocrisy and shame of having this filthy little man as their Senator for one reason: He has pull.

When the power to distribute the wealth of others is stripped from government then men like Kennedy will take refuge in the only place they can still prosper: College campuses.

Silence, my problem is not a general personality comparison between Senator Kennedy and President Bush (though I have strong feelings there), my point is the amount of time in the confirmation hearings that Sen. Kennedy spent in righteous indignation about Judge Alito's membership in CAP. Listening to that all week and reading this was a little much for me to bear.
