Guess I have been under a rock. I can honestly say I never knew about it. I find it amazing it didn’t come up more during the Cheney hunting incident though.

“I would rather hunt with Dick Cheney than drive with Ted Kennedy”.
my uncle lives on the cape, and a friend of his works at a shipyard. they build and repair ships there, and have a list of people they wont give credit to. at the bottom of the list in big letters is “ANY KENNEDY” i guess they dont like to pay their bills.
