Enquirer claims 21-year-old is Ted Kennedy's secret love child

[TheWebHead]

Ted Kennedy is breaking out his scandal squad, now that The National Enquirer is claiming he has a secret love child.
According to the tab, the Massachusetts senator took a paternity test that proved he'd fathered a son - now 21 - by a Cape Cod woman half his age.

Kennedy's office yesterday denounced the story, calling it "irresponsible fiction."

But an Enquirer insider said the tab's lawyers are "very comfortable" with the story.

4. 21 years old?

Wouldn't that make him a secret love adult?

[Eugene]

5. 19 days into the election year...

That didn't take long. :eyes:

As slime jobs go, this is strictly bush league.
The local Repubs were a lot better at Kennedy bashing
and they gave up years ago.

This is all rather pointless since Ted Kennedy
does not have a serious challenger this November.

6. Ooooh they are digging through the old trash, aren't they.

Time to smear the Democrats.

[BlueIris]

7. Karl? That is WEAK.

Seriously, man, I know Fitz's people have made your future basically unlivable, but DUDE. WEAK. That is the lamest smear that ever lamed out of Lameville. During Lameville's post-summer season lull. Hang it up, Turd Blossom. You've lost it.

[RebelOne]

8. Sean Insannity jumped on that story yesterday.

And he was so happy that he found something else with which to smear Kennedy.

9. did this kid LIE to start a war?? how about spying...

on the American Public?? Did he advocate torturing anyone? ... Stinkin' repug maggots! Is that the best you have?? Kennedy did something 21 years ago??? The Chimperor is doing it now! Focus on the present and the future, not the past!! :banghead:

[underpants]

13. HAHAHAHA

I actually heard this as the LEAD on Hannity's show last night before I turned it off.

Great points there diamondsndust and Welcome to DU :hi:

[jimshoes]

10. What was the

ne'er-do-well in chief doing 21 years ago?

[William769]

11. Who did Teddy piss off this week?

[underpants]

14. Last week-this is some sort of retribution for the Alito hearings

that and pay back from the Enquirer so they won't get Anthraxed again.

[leesa]

12. Sheesh. Who cares.

[AngryAmish]

15. There is no way this story is true

Tedddy has repeatedly said, as a Catholic, he was personally opposed to abortion but it didn't change is feelings about American law and a woman's right to choose. The story claims he "begged" her to get an abortion. That would be incompatable with his faith and thus cannot be true.

[formernaderite]

16. I don't believe the story but your argument is naieve...

Teddy has great political qualities, but isn't exactly a compass for moral behavior...I'm sure cheating on his wife and not reporting a drowned woman were incompatable with his religion either...know what I mean?

[rman]

17. true or not, who cares?

i know: the holier then thou repubs do care.

[xchrom]

18. yawn.

[fujiyama]

19. How is this relevant?

Even if true, that's something for Kennedy, the other woman, and their respective families to deal with.

This is a clear distraction from the real republican scandals going on.

For the rest, the NYDN gossip column is just that, gossips.

21. My standard, two word response to the Enquirer

Prove it.

22. Good for Ted!

BTW, I heard that it was that cross eyed black man that debated Al Sharpton on Hard Ball about Hillary Clinton,s Plantation remark.

[realFedUp]

23. lucky kid if this is true....

can I be next?

[d_b]

24. Right on.

Who gives a shit? He's not the senator from Utah.
