Dreams come true: Ted Kennedy sings “We Are The World”

And I thought there’d be nothing good to post today. Don’t read too much significance into the choice of tune: it was an event for music industry lobbyists, not amnesty advocates. Besides, when Teddy wants to pander to them in song, he does so in the mother tongue. Click the image to weep your monkey eyes out.

Gotta love August/September. First Chocolate Rain, then CGI UFOs, and now Ted Kennedy singing for music lobbyists.

We are the world we are the chitlings, We are….

GET IN MY BELLY WORLD !

Bah, wont watch Teddy do anything if I can avoid it, except maybe commit Seppuku…

All I get is “The page cannot be displayed.”

Somehow, I feel like I’ve been spared.

mwahaha!

Who’s the big black dude wrestling Teddy from the microphone?

Obviously, he was the brightest bulb on the stage.

Valiant on September 6, 2007 at 2:02 PM

Wait just one darn minute. Please refresh my memory: Are lobbyist good or bad? I keep hearing the “lobbyist bad” mantra and then this happens.

Don’t click Lim……don’t click….don’t…..DARN~~!!!!!!

From a fellow Irishman I give Ted this toast ‘May the road rise up to meet you(‘re face)’

No, no, no. Lobbyists are only bad if Republicans associate with them. If Democrats associate with them, it’s just lending them an ear like any good person would do.

The Admiral of Chappaquiddick was kicked out of Harvard for paying another student to take his Spanish test for him.

Must have been another one of those jobs that Americans won’t do.

amerpundit, thank you for clearing that up. ;-)

amerpundit on September 6, 2007 at 2:06 PM

That’s something, isn’t it? After last year’s ‘culture of corruption’, the Duke, Abramoff, etc, they turn around this year and Hillary sets the tone by saying lobbyists represent important American interests. I guess at least that’ll help Fred in the general.

I retract my 2.09 statement. I don’t find TK an honorable man, but that was inappropriate on my part.

Hmmm did I say self-inflicted??? Hmmm…

I’ll pass. Giving my monkey eyes a rest.

captivated_dem on September 6, 2007 at 2:29 PM

I couldn’t tell which voice was Teddy but I am assuming that if the ‘effer’ can’t carry a girl across a bridge he can’t carry a tune either.

That ‘effing’ Kennedy bunch are just like the Clintons – they will never go away!

We Are The World, We Are The Problem.

One time when I am grateful that I cannot get the Hotair videos at work…

Bob's Kid on September 6, 2007 at 2:53 PM

Meh. I thought it might be as awful (and consequently entertaining) as Hillary’s rendition of the National Anthem. This one just isn’t cringe-worthy enough since you can’t hear Teddy personally butchering an already bad song. Good try, though, AP. You’ve simply set too high a crap standard in the past, and our expectations are too high now–we want the worst crap there is, and nothing less than the worst will do!

aero on September 6, 2007 at 3:08 PM

Someone with mad video editing skills (read: NOT ME) needs to mash this up with Lindsey Grahamnesty singing Teddy K’s praises on the Senate Floor…

JDinSC on September 6, 2007 at 3:58 PM

Proof that massive amounts of liquor don’t always prevent long life.

It makes you wonder how Jack would have turned out later in life…especially politically.

Ted Kennedy’s secret MySpace entry:

Hi there fellow bloggers. My name is United States Senator Edward Moore Kennedy from the Great State of Massachusetts. You can call me Ted if you want. I was born on February 22, 1932, although people tell me that I look at least 20 years younger.

I graduated from Harvard in June 1956 in the top 10% of my class. I also passed my law bar on my very first try. I am one of the most senior members of that grand and much loved and respected institution known as the U.S. Senate. All my colleagues respect me and very often come to me for my wise council and advise. I must admit though that when John and Lindsey ask me to turn around and pull my pants down so that they can kiss my ass it does get a little much, but it’s so gratifying anyway!

In fact I am so powerful now that I am, in many ways the defacto President of the United States. How’s that for a boy who had to work his way through college?

I am handsome and tall with a muscular build. The ladies just can’t get enough of me. Sometimes I think it is almost a curse.

I sometimes like to chill out after a long day of serving the American people by having a double martini. Contrary to what some of my very few enemies say I never have more than one drink at a time. Well sometimes one for each hand, but that’s it, never two glasses in each hand, except on very special occasions like the arrival of 6PM.

I am a whole lot of fun after work. I am a most excellent driver and sometimes I like to go on long drives and see how many bridges I can cross without getting wet. It’s a lot of fun! All the women tell me that I am just too much!

I would like to think that I am open minded, honest, polite, and trustworthy. And I appreciate the same qualities in others.

Who I’d like to meet:
…other progressive bloggers. People who like to rock out. Cool people who live close to Washington D.C. so that we can get together, take all our clothes off and run around stark naked singing “We are the naked World!

MB4 on September 6, 2007 at 4:19 PM

I’d like to hear him sing that old favorite,”Ode To Mary Jo”

No Nope not gonna listen. It wouldn’t be prudent.

I guess they forgot the words to Kum Ba Yah.
