Things Teddy Didn't Say This Week

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

1. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) didn't say a word about the recent
36th anniversary of the Chappaquiddick incident. He didn't have any words of condolences for Mary Jo Kopechne's family.

2. According to Bill Gertz of the Washington Times, here Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) didn't say a word about the recent harsh criticism leveled at him by soldiers from Massachusetts who work at the U.S. military detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, during his recent visit to the island.

Pentagon officials said soldiers criticized the harsh comments made recently by Senate Democrats. "They [Kennedy and Senator Akaka (D-Hawaii)] got stiff reactions from their home-state soldiers," one official told us. "The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag.

A spokesman for Mr. Kennedy had no comment. Both senators made no mention of the incident in press statements after the visit.

I guess this puts to rest the notion of Kennedy being an extreme gasbag who can't keep his trap shut. There are some things that he can remain silent about.
