Ask Not What You Can Do For Your Name. Ask What Your Name Can Do For You.

Guess who trades on his famous name to make millions from interests with business before his father's powerful senate committee? Ted Kennedy Jr.'s "consulting" businesses have pocketed almost $400,000 from Bristol Myers Squibb--and millions more from other health-care and union interests. Ted Kennedy, Sr. is the chairman of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Ask not what you can do for your name; ask what your name can do for you. Read my piece in the City Journal about the power of a last name.

What is it with these guys and the drug companies? The President’s Senior Advisor David Axelrod is getting paid by drug companies to push Obamacare and Ted Kennedy is channeling his name and power so his kid can make some dough off of them?

But, I think I get it: with the way they act, it’s obvious that they are getting free samples.

Nopt surprising. He has also served on the education committee,with the sole purpose of gaining contributions from the teachers unions,which leftist democrats care more about than children.
What in the heck does Kenndey know about public schools,considering himself and children all attended private schools.
Kennedy spends money and the quality schools become worse.
Kennedy knows as much about public schools as Dexter Manley knows about reading.

This old socialist/Marxist enabler, is a complete joke and embarrassment to his family and country.

Just heard of an initiative by the O administration to make it public policy that all infant boys must be circumcised to theoretically prevent the eventual spread of HIV. This is getting nuts!

They should try outlawing butt sex.

You know, you've got something there. I mean, the government is concerned about people smoking, drinking, their obesity, etc. and want to outlaw all of that to 'save' us. But the previously mentioned activity is one of the most dangerous disease spreading killers that shorten the life spans of those who participate.

Never a mention of that though.
