Kennedy Receives Honory Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II
Sen. Ted Kennedy Receives Honory Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II
The Washington Post reported that the Massachusetts Democrat's honor was announced by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who on Wednesday addressed a joint session of Congress.
In his speech, Brown praised Kennedy's role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland after years of strife and his efforts to strengthen healthcare and educational opportunities in the United States and elsewhere.
"Northern Ireland today is at peace, more Americans have healthcare, children around the world are going to school," Gordon said. "And for all these things, we owe a great debt to the life, and courage, of Senator Edward Kennedy."
MPs' fury as U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy gets honorary knighthood for Northern Ireland role
Gordon Brown sparked fury today by awarding an honorary knighthood to U.S. senator Edward Kennedy, who has been accused in the past of being an IRA sympathiser.
Conservative MPs and Peers condemned as 'inappropriate' the decision to make a man closely linked to the Irish nationalist movement a 'Sir'.
Senior British politicians also expressed unease at honouring the Democrat who was embroiled in controversy when he was involved in an infamous car accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 in which a young woman was killed.
Wild Thing's comment.........
The cowardly degenerate Ted: “Thank you, your majesty, (hic). As they say, (hic), once a queen, always a queen, but (hic) once a (k)night is not enough. (hic)”
Next thing you know Obama will be giving the Medal of Freedom to Bill Ayers.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Ted Kennedy didn't bring peace to Northern Ireland--it was the resolve of the Irish peoples! They did it themselves! My husband and I order from a catalog called Creative Irish Gifts. Part of the proceeds of every order goes to bringing Catholic and Protestant Irish children together in the United States from Ireland so they can see how the other half lives. They put Catholics with Protestant families and vice versa. These children have learned that if we can get along, so can they. It makes one heck of a difference and Northern Ireland has settled down to peace and harmony--on their own!
So what if the Kennedys are Irish, so am I! But I don't go boozing it up and hurting or killing anyone. Can I be a dame? I have more class in my little pinkie than good ol' Teddy!

If this wasn't so sad it would be hilarious. For what, killing an intern and then trying to cover it up ? Or screwing the Vietnamese and then his own country ? Or maybe it was the first immigration bill he sponsored, where he lowered the standards of the immigrants allowed into this country.
So the Queen is going to betow on Ted Kennedy, knighthood. This is understandable, when the royals have generation upon generation of inbreeding this is no surprise. Her son Charles the dunce, is running around the world proclaiming the sky is falling while extolling the virtues of Algore, all the time flying around in a private Jet.
Well this ought to make the split with the UK complete.

Gordon Brown is Great Britain's Ted Kennedy, so I can understand why he was so eager to award knighthood to The Swimmer. Ted was famous for getting funds to the IRA during their reign of terror in Northern Ireland.
It is also supposedly illegal for a member of Congress to accept an award of this type, but illegality never stopped a Kennedy.

Knighthood, could be the Nobel!!!
Besides the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne I wonder how many Irish deaths he caused by his terrorist acts of supporting them. Joe had the wrong sibling lobotomized and saved this halfwit.
When can I have that toast to that fat bastards departure to hell???

What this only proves is that Knighthood is meaningless.
The once majestic nation of Great Britain is no longer. Today, it's just Britain.

Wish I had been the one knighting him.....I would have put the sword to the use it was intended for. Ted Kennedy is the lowest form of life on the planet and I will join Jack in toasting his passage to Hell. It will be another GREAT day in America when this slimebag finally dies!!!!
