O—o—o—h that Ted Kennedy——all beefy and sanctimonious and hypocritical as he once again grilled a real lawyer who was admitted to college and law school on his own fine merit and graduated with highest honors he earned, unlike, well, Ted Kennedy. 

And now the great liberal Democrat who mouths the basic platitude of his party——respect for women——while acting (oh  why repeat the tragic incident of Mary Jo, his marriage, his enabling his nephew in a rape case, his...) uh, differently, has promised 

to quit a Harvard alumni club that forbids female membership "as fast as I can."  

Of course, as he admits, he's been a member of the organization that is not sanctioned by that oh so pc institution, Harvard, for 52 years.  Fast huh?
