At the gift shop, they could sell some of Teddy’s favorite fashion accessories, like a neck brace.
BostonHerald: The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate needs to come up with some new box-office draws, pronto, before the start of the summer tourist season.
According to a recent news report, the two-year-old Institute in Dorchester was supposed to draw 150,000 visitors a year. So far it’s averaging 62,000 annually, which includes 16,000 students, in other words, draftees.
This falling short of projections is nothing new for the Institute. Its $78 million cost was supposed to be borne mostly by the late senator’s dear friends, almost all of whom went AWOL, along with their checkbooks, after the Liberal Lion died in 2009.
The feds had to dip into the Defense Department budget to cover the cost of Teddy’s white elephant.
But the Institute’s building can still be put to good use. May I suggest a new mission —
Maybe they could give swimming lessons? Or host meetings for the local AA.
That’s because the building looks like a 67 oldsmobile Oldsmobile trying to be a submarine….
If anyone was honest, they should sell the land/building and put our hard-earned tax money BACK into the “Fed” (aka TAXPAYER MONEY!).
Other uses: Use it as an out-processing and holding facility for illegal aliens and other deportees. If Fed $$ paid for it, it’s a Fed facility; let ICE have it.
… the Oldsmobile was trying to catch it’s breath…
The “Lion of the Senate”??! Dear God in Heaven. Maybe Clarence the cross-eyed, perpetually drunk, coke-snorting, murdering lion.
@AbigailAdams: It’s a typo. They misspelled “Lyin'”.
🙂
Floaties decorated with a cartoon jackass.
I can “rescue” them in 2 words.
life jackets.
Teddy’s breakfast bourbon would probably sell well.
Or, they could just sell this, until then it’s free

45,000,000 innocent and defenseless babies in the womb had to be executed so this guy could become the most powerful person in the Senate. Perhaps there’s room on the walls of the Kennedy Institute to paint a mural showing what happens to people like Ted Kennedy when they die? Bet he’d do anything to be back in the waters of Chappaquiddick right about now.
Turn it into a car wash.
Car wash and brothel. Hand wash and hand jobs. Build it. They will cum.
turn it into an Irish Pub
So where’s all the Kennedy clan’s ill gotten gains to fund this white elephant?
Attorney fees and glamorous high dollar funerals you say?
Oh yeah, I guess so.
Then there was the day when teddy was scooting around the north east corner of the Capitol building and I was scooting in the opposite direction, both on foot, not on the sidewalk but kind of through the shrubs. We darn near had a head on at that corner and he was positively startled. If I had been a bad guy looking to finish off the last of the Kennedy brothers he’d have been toast. He actually looked scared until he realized that I was just a dude short cutting my way to my lunch spot. Maybe he was looking for his stash. Weird encounter anyway.
They need flashier items for the gift shop…
– combo tie bar and condom stash
– 90 proof mouthwash
– discount memberships in the Fabian Society
– buy on / get one free Hyannisport shot glasses
– book of discount coupons for Alibis Я Us
– first edition Waitress Sandwich cookbook coauthored with Chris Dodd
They could sell snorkels and bourbon crash helmets.
It needs a diorama depicting Teddy burning in Hell for Eternity.
If it is as named an “Institute for the US Senate”, the diorama will be instructive to all the other lying shitweasels in the Senate
If someone donates the “spark” I will donate 5 gallons of gas.
Abigail is so right and It will be the same story for obammies library. all the school kiddies will be forced to go and taxpayers will put the bill.
Let his family pay for it, take it off the tax rolls immediately. Tax dollars should not be used to glorify traitors, drunks, or murderers.
You said traitors, drunks OR murderers. You meant AND not OR. I know you did.
“Outside his brother JFK’s nearby museum is the late president’s sailboat, the Victura. What about an exhibit out front of Ted’s favorite seagoing vessel, a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont?”
Hilarious.
He died almost eight years ago. Does anyone know if he’s dried out yet?
Does everyone here realize that Ted Kennedy hasn’t had a drink in over seven years?

As long as there is a retrospective on his historic pilgrimage to Russia in 1984 to beg them to interfere with Reagan’s re-election I’d be happy.
Throw in some commemorative hammers and sickles in the gift shop and all of the proceeds could go to exhuming his rotten husk and sending it to Moscow where it belongs.
Just muzzie it.
