Greenpeace Video and Others Slam RFK Jr.'s Uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, over Cape Wind Hypocrisy
This advertisement exposes the gross hypocrisy of Senator Ted Kennedy, uncle of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in regards to the senator’s opposition to Cape Wind. On account of his stance, Senator Kennedy has been protested by environmentalists. Recently Senator Kennedy generated a furor of criticism when he contrived with anti-environmental Alaskan senators to arrange for a secret amendment to a Coast Guard budget bill. This amendment would have given the governor of Massachusetts the power to veto the Cape Wind project, thereby essentially killing the project as Governor Mitt Romney opposes Cape Wind. Originally Senator Kennedy claimed that he had been informed of the amendment, as if he had not worked closely with the Alaskan senators to bring it about. Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby’s slammed Kennedy for this maneuver, writing that,
Kennedy’s antipathy to furtive rules changes and backroom power plays stops at the water’s edge—specifically, the waters of Nantucket Sound, which separates Cape Cod (where the Kennedy family has an oceanfront compound in Hyannis Port) from the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard . . . if Kennedy gets his way, all of Cape Wind’s time, money, and effort will have been for naught—crushed in a naked abuse of political power. And it isn’t only a Nantucket wind farm that will be dead, but a little more of the public’s faith that the men and women it elects to office can be trusted to do the right thing.
