WHAT A HOOT:
Kennedy belongs to exclusive university club of his own (Charles Hurt, January 12, 2006, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy belongs to a social club for Harvard students and alumni that was evicted from campus nearly 20 years ago after refusing to allow female members.
According to the online membership directory of the Owl Club, the Massachusetts Democrat updated his personal information -- including the address of his home that is in his wife's name -- on Sept. 7.
The club has long been reviled on campus as "sexist" and "elitist" and, in 1984, was booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws, authored by Mr. Kennedy.
If there's one thing Americans from across the political spectrum can agree on it's this: everyone is best served by not having clubs that mix women and Kennedy members.

And the species is best served by Kennedys firing blanks. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 12, 2006 10:34 PM

Nice double entendre, there, boss.

But the bird does fit in well with Teddy's history of late night carousing and imbibing.
