Kennedy Klan Picking Over Teddy’s Bones

Newser-

All is not calm in Camelot. A major battle is building between Ted Kennedy’s widow and his children over the establishment of a $71 million institution in the late senator’s honor. The tension centers on the construction and management of the

Edward Kennedy Institute for the US Senate, a close family source tells the Boston Globe.

The extended family is also at odds with Vicki , particularly concerning the institution’s takeover of the main mansion at the Kennedy family Hyannis Port compound, which was purchased by family patriarch Joseph Kennedy in the 1920s. The institute has barred use of the mansion to family members, and is charging them a rental fee even to use the lawn, notes the Globe.

    The E.K. Institute will produce a video of how to make a “Waitress Sandwich.”

    Or, why flotation devises are as important as seat belts.

    Edward Kennedy Institute? That’s a crummy name for a distillery.

    I think it’s morally uplifting to see the family cannibalize itself.

    The young grifters are being taken to the woodshed by the Louisiana Hustler.

    Poor Patches is going to have to borrow an Ambien and a fifth of scotch from his cousin in NY just to calm himself down.

    Oh, the humanity!

    I guess I’m not the only one to be totally disgusted with the whole Kennedy clan.

    A battle between Kennedys? Have them meet at midnight on a bridge somewhere to hash out their differences over whiskey and cars.

    We will eventually call the cops – sometime the next morning after we sober up.

    @Tim… thanks to Obamanomics, I lost my trailer. I live in a cardboard box now. I just got my property tax bill, so I’ll probably lose my box now, too.

    Ted’s family should at least wait until his liver has finished metabolizing alcohol before squabbling over his estate. How tacky!

    STALINgrad would seem an ideal location to build. Maybe an old KGB building in Moscow could be recycled.

    These comments are too good not to share. Why not contact the “Institute” directly and speak your mind?

    BWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    I’m on Vicki’s side.
    This looks just PERFECT on Splash Jr. and Patrick.
    After all, she’s the one who straightened him out, more or less.

    Fantastic. Stick a fork in Camelot. It’s dead.
