The Boston Herald reports that one of the chief attackers in the Alito Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Ted Kennedy, has yet another skeleton in his closet.
Despite having torn into Judge Alito for having ties to a group that discriminates against women, Ted Kennedy is a current member of a Harvard social club that discriminates against women.
U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy — who ripped Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women — says he’s going to quit a club notorious for discriminating against women “as fast as I can.”
Kennedy was outed by conservatives late last week as a current member of The Owl Club, a social club for Harvard alumni that bans women from membership.
In an interview with WHDH Channel 7’s Andy Hiller that aired last night, Kennedy said, “I joined when I . . . 52 years ago, I was a member of the Owl Club, which was basically a fraternal organization.”
Asked by Hiller whether he is still a member, Kennedy said, “I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.” [Editorial comment: Why have you been paying $100 then?]
He then said of being a member in a club that discriminates against women, “I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”
Hat tip to Michelle Malkin, who has more details.
Will the hypocrisy never end?
Maybe the reason that some liberals see discrimination under every rock, even where it doesn't exist, is that some of them are themselves leading offenders.
