When I say "Kennedy," You say "Bloated"Posted by Bryan
Only this time, we're talking about his ego, and not his fleshy jowels.
Seems the senile senior Senator from Mass. has no malady of an inferiority complex, having initiated an effort to raise a $3.5 meeellyon dollars so the U. of Virginia can provide an oral history of, well, himself. The article details how he'll devote 75 hours (read: three times that to get enough usable content) and pull 100 other poor souls into his porkish bureaucratic revision of history.
It's actually a very interesting read, revealing a selfish/ambitious effort to inflate the far left legislator's historical importance as he solicits and delivers his own interpretation of the last four-plus decades of events. Clearly, he's ripping a page from Churchill's playbook, which opens with the line, ""History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it."
Does this re-write the axiom that only the victors dictate history?
Never forget, the Senator's work phone # is (202)A BIG LIE
