The
Boston Herald and the
Washington Times today scooped the Globe with a story revealing that Masachusetts’ senior senator remains a dues-paying member of a former Harvard college club that still bans women members. Fresh from last week assailing the 1980s membership of Sam Alito in an organization called “Concerned Alumni of Princeton”, where he said of Alito:
"affiliation with an organization that fought the admission of women into Princeton calls into question his appreciation for the need for full equality in this country,"
Senator Chivas denies being
a member (but does not deny paying annual dues) of the "Owl Club”, which was forced off the campus in the 1980s as PC became rule of law there in the form of Title 9 regulations. The Herald quotes our senator Teddy saying:
I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.
File that remark right next to the one about SUVs that belonged to Teresa Heinz-Kerry but were “not owned” by her husband. Asked about the appropriateness of being in such company, Ted said:
I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.
The same phrase might well be the very last words heard by Mary Jo Kopechne.
