Greenpeace declares war on Ted Kennedy
And you thought Ted Kennedy was a liberal. Seems there’s
been a lot of consternation lately over the senator’s
protest against a plan to build a clean-energy windmill farm in the seas off of
the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. Now, Greenpeace has put together a rather
low-rent ad about Kennedy’s opposition, depicting Ted as a larger-than-life,
suit-wearing sea-creature out in Cape Cod Bay trying to destroy the
windmills. Kudos to Greenpeace for the attention-getting graphic, but we
expected the organization to pick better talent than whoever is voicing Ted in
the ad. It carries some inscrutable accent—south Jersey maybe?—instead of the painfully easy to imitate Boston accent. Repeat after us: Stah Mahket, Stah Mahket, Stah Mahket. Was that so
hard?

Ted is at his creepiest when he kicks into his personalized accent, used only by his family. "Past" is "pahst" for example. Sad truth is that Teddy makes Richard Daley look like a reformer. We're lucky he expended the energy telling us to go screw ourselves. He usually only surfaces in MA at election time.
