What has her majesty’s kingdom come to?
Today, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown came before a joint session of Congress and declared honorary knighthood to Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy.
Being a Kennedy has almost always been a magical thing. It is a get out of jail free card that exempts them from wrongdoing. Be it a Kennedy cousin who has killed a Connecticut neighbor, a Kennedy nephew who raped a Florida neighbor, a Kennedy relative in Congress caught driving drunk or Ted Kennedy’s swimming away from a date after plunging into icy cold waters in Hyannis port and then neglecting to tell anyone that he left her there, being a Kennedy is a great thing.
When it comes to Kennedy wrongdoing, cover-ups are expected and accepted. When it comes to Kennedy scandals it is again, both expected and accepted.
Now it is worthy of knighthood.
The sad fact is that the Kennedy clan has come along way since the days of President John F, Kennedy and New York Senator Robert Kennedy. But it has not progressed in quite such a good way. Kennedy's have since then done more harm than good.
We knew John and Robert had faults of their own, but we were able to respect John and Robert Kennedy, but Ted Kennedy is no John or Robert Kennedy.
John and Robert Kennedy had their lives taken. Ted Kennedy has taken lives.
Yet the monarchy of Great Britain has chosen to put more value in Ted Kennedy’s socialist agenda, than his crimes.
It is a shame but such is the world we live in.
God save the Queen.

For the first time, I laughed with Kempite instead of at him. "he is a Kennedy, so he is exempt from anything such as the constitution or laws.". haha. nice one. The I laughed again when Anonymous didn't know Malcom X.
God only has to save the Queen if she gets in Kennedy's car.
malcom x idiot
Imagine had a pic of what I thought was him in his profile. The pic was of a white man. However I think he is a black man. Just wondering who the pic was of?
Yea Wiz geez! Arent you following?
WIZ...........I can only assume that since it is an honorary knighthood it is not considered to be an official title, it does not require congressional approval. But even if that is not the case, he is a Kennedy, so he is exempt from anything such as the constitution or laws.
I thought it was unconstitutional to be knighted by a foreign country. "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State."
Ummm. Civil Rights = Good
ANd?
ANd?
You are aware that Bobby Kennedy was an essential figure of the civil rights movement, aren't you?
Thats like sayin he was the tallest midget.LOL
Bobby Kennedy was the coolest Kennedy.
Tells a bit about who he really was Hmmmm.Any idiot the liberal English Knight, well I'm glad he's not president.
Maybe they were just hoping that being knighted was the last thing he was holding on to life to achieve and now he'll go quickly off to his eternal flaming rest.
While I do not like the Kennedy's at all and and Ted's past behavior is horriable I believe that the below reason has more to do with the knighthood then some socialist agenda. And lets face it given UK's history of who gets knighted well alot of them would not have been knighted if they had to be angeles.
"However, arguably America's best-known Irish-
American will be best remembered in the UK for his involvement in mediating over the Northern Ireland dispute.
He held meetings with leaders from opposing ends of the spectrum on several occasions, although in 2005 he famously refused to meet Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein leader, after the killing of Robert McCartney, over which the IRA was accused."

Can't we just ship him to England? This will teach the British for the way they have treated the Irish.
