This is what we pay Senators for... amusing and obvious hypocrisy.
When Ted Kennedy (former member of all-male social club until 6 months ago) talks to a civil rights-era African-American judicial appointee about ethics... you know you have an amusing story.
Ted Kennedy
quit his all-male club at Harvard just 6 months ago after he realized he looked foolish questioning Justices Roberts and Alito regarding their views on equality. Now, as if that wasn't enough, Kennedy is now questioning a judicial nominee (in written questions submitted prior to hearings) about his membership in an all-male dining club in Oklahoma. Here's the wrinkle: the judge Kennedy is questioning for bias is a distinguished African American Jurist. And, like Kennedy, the judge quit the club several months ago, when he realized it might send an innaccurate impression of him.
