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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

ah, that’s where shamnesty came from. gracias.

except maybe commit Seppuku…

Requires honor

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

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