It was in neither's interest to support the IRA.<BR/><BR/>There is no denying Ted Kennedy's cosying up to the Irish-American lobby. Though I never saw the other Kennedys -- Bobby, John, Joe Sr -- as caring much about it.<BR/><BR/>I'm content to let this political hack go down with a bauble. Goodness know the Queen has given honours to other unsavory and undeserving characters. At least we won't have to put up with "Sir" Ted in the House of Lords!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350706179528590465noreply@blogger.com
