Teddy Parties on:
A good time was had by all at the Compound
By Jack Coleman
THE KENNEDY COMPOUND, HYANNISPORT - If the same Ted Kennedy who spoke at a clambake fund-raiser on Saturday campaigns for re-election next year, Republicans will find it difficult to wrest control of the Senate seat that Kennedy has held for 43 years.
Before addressing 500 supporters (fellow drunks) in a huge white tent on his front lawn, Kennedy and his (self loathing) wife, Vicki, along with nephews, Matt Kennedy, 24, (one of Joe Kennedy II's twin sons) and Stephen Smith Jr., 48, (eldest son of Jean and the late Stephen Smith), greeted supporters in a long line extending up Marchant Avenue.
Those attending were shuttled to the compound on charter buses from the Sheraton Four Seasons about a mile away, because you will sooner find a parking space in midtown Manhattan than anywhere near the Kennedy compound.
On a wide expanse of lawn against a backdrop of Nantucket Sound, children darted about and their happy noise provided frequent background din during the event.

Were they serving on the busses? Was the receiving line before or after the bar? Did Teddy drink more or less than all of the guests combined? |
