As I am given to understand it, when one declares that he has fixed a horse race, it’s taken for granted that the jockey has been paid-off.
Did Barack Obama garner the Kennedy family endorsement by making an illegal promise to have Caroline Kennedy Schlosberg appointed to the Senate, from New York, but not pay-off New York Governor David Paterson? The inference from this Pajamas Media [1]article is that the Kennedy’s, Ted and Carolyn received a quid pro quo to support The One.
How better do you explain Fat Teddy endorsement of a Senator who had stabbed him in the back. The Kennedys are not noted for being forgiving. So if Ted has put aside his grievance with BO, it is more indicative of pay-out on the part of The One and not a softening of Teddy’s heart.
