First off, let me make it perfectly clear: I don’t care one iota if people belong to organization’s like Harvard’s Owl Club. But Teddy Kennedy’s raking Judge Samuel Alito over the coals for his membership in the Concerned Alumni of Princeton (which was portrayed as anti-woman) while Teddy belonged to the exclusive, all-guy Owl Club, which only takes rich scions like Ted, showed a certain disconnect. In the wake of the Alito hearings, Teddy’s office first defended his membership, but now he has said he can’t resign fast enough. Shouldn’t he change his Portuguese water dog Splash’s name? Jay Leno said that for Kennedy to have a dog named Splash is like Jack Abramoff naming his dog Bribe. But it’s that Kennedy disconnect again….
