Senator Ted Kennedy Resigns
from the all-male Owl Club.
Ted K. to quit club that bans women U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy — who ripped Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women — says he’s going to quit a club notorious for discriminating against women “as fast as I can.” Kennedy was outed by conservatives late last week as a current member of The Owl Club, a social club for Harvard alumni that bans women from membership. In an interview with WHDH Channel 7’s Andy Hiller that aired last night, Kennedy said, “I joined when I . . . 52 years ago, I was a member of the Owl Club, which was basically a fraternal organization.” Asked by Hiller whether he is still a member, Kennedy said, “I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.” He then said of being a member in a club that discriminates against women, “I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.” The Harvard Crimson reports that, in 1984, the university severed ties with clubs like the Owl, citing a federal law championed by Kennedy. Meanwhile, Kennedy admitted to Hiller that he himself probably couldn’t pass Judiciary Committee muster. “Probably not . . . probably not,” Kennedy said. The committee will vote on Alito’s nomination on Jan. 24, and the full Senate will begin debate the next day. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said he looks forward to a “fair up-or-down vote.”

Didn't Kennedy murder some woman? [/ QUOTE ] He absolutely did not! And a couple of months ago Ann Coulter, of all people, wrote two columns about it.
