Where's the bowl of sausage gravy he dips the twinkies in?

[Under his stomach[/u]

Precious.

Once upon a time, the company for which my pops worked rented one of the luxury boxes at Yankee stadium. This had to be around '81-'82. Our box was next to Steinbrenner's box. On the scorecard, which is somewhere at my pop's homestead, are Kennedy and Steinbrenner's autograph. I remember the growed-up in our group commenting that it was inappropriate for Kennedy to be cavorting with a guy name "Howie The Horse" who was also watching the game in Steinbrenner's box.

I will admit, while I find the guy to be a reprehensible toad (both politically and personally), he was gracious in signing the scorecards for all the kids in our group (about a half dozen).

Biggest disappointment that night, Bucky Dent came into our box to say "Howdy" but couldn't sign a baseball card because his writing arm was in a cast.

Would you suck that nipple for a good ten minutes for a new job?

I told a friend of mine after a night on the town in DC that the place we were at hadn't seen behavior like that since these two were in their heyday in the mid eighties.

I heard a story about one of them getting a favor under the table while the other was frantically trying to flag down the waiter for more gin.

Only if you slathered some of that creme filling from the Twinkies on it.

Great pic, though Kennedy's actually lost an assload of weight the past couple of years and isn't really big anymore.

When's the last time you saw him up close? I know he has lost weight, but he was fucking scary the last time I saw him...like a bloated half-corpse, red-faced and the ruddy complection of a rheumy acomaholic. He's still in the "Aaah" Hall of Fame.

Yeah, he's frightening, but skinnier.

'ey, Dodd's a proud papa of a toddler; he's cleaned, faithful, and sober. Why must you and your politic of personal destruction continue to bring up the Good* Senator from Connecticut's past?

* When Joseph Isadore Liebermann (D - Gutting Social Security (out of spite that the Dems didn't give your Cheney-lite ass the nomination)) is one's state's other Senator, even a Christopher Dodd cannot have done anything to merit other than the label Good Senator, as Liebermann is the Bad, and always will be.

As to that last, I still think Bush should have bumped Cheney from the ticket, for health reasons [sic] -- remember: at the summer, Cheney was the albatross of the campaign, and if not for disgruntled Viet Nam vets and anti-ass-fucking ballot initiatives, the post-election coverage would not have been a Bush man-date, but rather, what the devil got into Cheney? -- and replaced him with Liebermann. It would have been perfect symmetry with 2000, and shown that the healing could have finally been down, following the Sore/Losermann instigated recount; Bush/Liebermann 04 would have been a real national unity moment. Plus, on moral issues, Liebermann by far outpaces Cheney -- who couldn't give a damn who's fucking who, as long as Cheney is still making his muh'fuckin' petrol-cash -- while being AT LEAST as hawkish as Cheney when it comes to killing Muslims.

Bucky once came to my camp to shoot off a starting gun for some race and then sign some autographs. He fired the gun and then hopped right back into his limo and left.

Same camp:

Ron Guidry came to sign autogrpahs for all the kids. There was a very long line. After about 20 minutes he said it was too fucking hot and left.

Steve

Isn't Guidry from Louisiana? So, how was it too hot at your camp? Were you in Barbados?

Yup, Louisiana Lightin'. This was at a camp in NY! The only reason I know what he actually said was because one of my friends had been conscripted to fan him as he sat on his ass and signed autographs.

Steve

Yeah, I almost posted that one Steve,but when I googled "Ted Kennedy Drunk" the one at the top came up.

FAAAAAT!!

Ted Kennedy > Jesus Christ

The 73-year old Ted is much smaller, but still no Jack/Bobby:

Something tells me Jesus would have saved that girl or at least brought her back to life after drowning.

Steve

Obviously you were at the scene and knew that Kennedy did not try to swim down multiple times to save her.

The photo is an obvious fake as I wasn't sporting my beard yet.

Just wanted the opportunity to go "Oh, Viggio!"

(in Timmy Turner's Dad From The Fairly Oddparents voice)

No, I was aware of that and the 10 hour lapse between the accident and informing the police.
