Kennedy forgets to lead by example

Published January 13, 2006 at midnight

Forget Sam Alito's tenuous ties, two decades ago, to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton. Where's the outrage about Sen. Edward Kennedy's continuing membership in the Owl Club?

Kennedy relentlessly badgered Judge Alito for listing the Princeton group on a job application in 1985, but The Washington Times reported Thursday that the Massachusetts senator remains active with the Owl - one of nine males-only fraternities that in 1984 Harvard "booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws, authored by Mr. Kennedy."

TheNew York Times examined the records of CAP and found no evidence Alito was an active member. Yet the Washington paper found that on Sept. 7 Kennedy updated his personal information on the Owl Club's online directory, including his current D.C. address.

Yet another reason no one should give a hoot about Kennedy's bluster.
