From the Daily News:
Prime Minister Gordon Brown revealed Wednesday that Queen Elizabeth is awarding honorary knighthood to Sen. Ted Kennedy, the ailing scion of one of the nation’s most famous and storied political families.
What exactly is the criteria for being a knight? I’m no expert, but shouldn’t a knight be kind of a bad-ass? Granted, thanks to the fact that Ted Kennedy is an American, he immediately moves to the top of the bad-ass list when compared to his fellow knights.
Queen Elizabeth had better hope that a dragon doesn’t show up to unleash holy havoc on the city of London. She’s going to wish she had done things a little differently when she only has the likes of Sir Elton John and Sir David Bowie to send off to fight the dragon.
With that said, good for Ted Kennedy. I’m happy for him. Maybe next he can become a Kentucky Colonel.
