Ted Kennedy Is A Knight!

David Denby, noted fruit-sack, has forever tarnished the name of Ted Kennedy. Once, we all knew Kennedy as a lovable, happy-go-lucky boozebag and a very capable senator. But now when you hear "Ted Kennedy," you think of a tragically emasculated old invalid suffering the endless indignity of blogger insults. Why did David Denby have to go and do that to Ted Kennedy?

But to the matter at hand: Ted Kennedy shall be a knight! A knight of the British variety! Because he helped Northern Ireland with the peace thingum, and in general was nice to the British, which the Queen appreciates. We salute Sir Ted and raise many pints of booze in his honor. Mazel tov, as they say in Ireland.
