Ted Kennedy - a funny guy

Hey, I guess there is nothing funnier than to have a young woman drown in your car. At least Teddy seemed to think so.

Meanwhile, listening to ”Reflections on Sen. Kennedy … Lion of the Senate” on the Diane Rehm Show on the drive home last night, I was deeply moved to hear Newsweek’s Ed Klein tell guest host Katty Kay about Kennedy’s love of humor. How the late senator loved to hear and tell Chappaquiddick jokes, and was always eager to know if anyone had heard any new ones. Not that Kennedy lacked remorse, Klein quickly added, seeming to intuit that my jaw and perhaps those of other listeners had just hit the floorboards. I gather it was a self-deprecating maneuver on Kennedy’s part, exercised with the famous Kennedy charm, though it sounds like one of those “I guess you had to have been there” things.
(emphasis mine)

Classy guy that Ted. I guess that explains why he would name his dog Splash. Shecky Kennedy will indeed be sorely missed.

UPDATED : To add equally classless (but very funny)Chappaquiddick joke:
