Here are some absolutely BRUTAL reminders of the real reasons Ted Kennedy should be called a 'lion'

Why is Ted Kennedy always called a ‘lion’? Why not some other animal? Lions are lazy.

@blakehounshell So was Teddy. Lions let women do all the work and screw all day. Ergo, Teddy

@blakehounshell Perhaps it is because lions kill brutally and get away with it if they’re powerful enough.

@blakehounshell Yea but they're smart, they get others in the pride to do the dirty work and only reap in the benefits.

— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) March 29, 2015

@charlescwcooke @blakehounshell should have said "many mates."

@blakehounshell Lions, lazy??? Really?? I think he is called a lion because they fuck around a lot.
