If Kennedy's "past indescretions" make him unable to do his job and vote for a Supreme Court Nominee, then I suppose that American's who have had "past indescretions" shouldn't be able to do their job and vote for Senators. "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." "And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8:9, 8:14 Kennedy's no angel for sure. He's just a person. Now 2oony on the other hand... "Love Children"? Plural???

Bringing out an old war horse like Kennedy for a thread like this is nothing different that starting one about Nixon. Who cares?

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh I'm certainly no fan of Sen. Kennedy, but accusing him of having a "secret love child" based on anonymous sources and hearsay is a low blow. And it's unneccessary, when there are so many verifiable things to criticize him about.
