Another Misleading Teddy Headline

Here's the headline ... then catch the first couple of paragraphs ofthe story.

Sen. Edward Kennedy Helps Rescue Fishermen

U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy attempted to rescue six men who had become trapped by high tide on a jetty off Hyannisport on Sunday.

The Massachusetts Democrat eventually left the rescue to Hyannis firefighters, The Cape Cod Times reported Monday.

Nothing in the actual story suggests that Kennedy was involved in the rescue of the fisherman. No phone calls. No flagging down a passing motorist. Just that he said he tried and gave up.

Which, of course, is totally in character with past performances.

The news service is the Associated Press. Nothing out of character with their past performance either.

GROSS OUT UPDATE -- WizBang, as usual, does everybody one better by posting photos and having their own inimitable take.

Therefore, we unashamedly stole their prize-winner, but in contrition ask that you visit them at least twice today.
