Photos of Kennedy's Cape Cod Love Child
01/26/06 · 10:20 am :: posted by WB
According to countless national blogs starting with Wonkette, Senator Ted Kennedy does indeed have a Cape Cod Love Child. Wonette's recent column states:
Our New Favorite "Kennedy" (Like daddy, like son?)
While the National Enquirer stands by its story claiming Ted Kennedy has a 21-year-old love child, Kennedy’s camp tells the Boston Herald the story is “irresponsible fiction.”
So, with no definitive answer, we went to our most reliable source, MySpace.com. Christopher Bilodeau, the offspring in question, does indeed have his own homepage. It’s a treasure chest, stocked with some amazing pictures and a mp3 file that instructs, “sometimes you have to f*** her softly.”
Truth Caucus, another national blog found these photos of the kid
THE EYES OF A KENNEDY
Is this Ted Kennedy's Illegit Son?
After the Boston Herald reported the National Enquirer story of Ted Kennedy’s illegitimate son (he begged his mistress to get an abortion) on its website, a savvy TRUTH CAUCUS special operative has obtained these exlusive photos from the “Chris Bilodeau (Kennedy)” Myspace.com user listing. Click here to see the rest of the photos.

Methinks the laddie doth protest too much.
Despite it's tawdry rep, when the largest circulation newspaper in Americam puts a local pol on its cover, it's Mr. Kennedy's problem, not the press.
Go help King George II read our mail instead of defending the undefendable.

WB,
Is the point of running this piece to embarass Teddy or his alleged son? This isn't even worthy of Gary Lopez.

Actually Gad-flea, as you well know, the point is to be "edgy" and bring even a nice ageless and unreconstructed mugwhump like you, the news you'll never see in any so-called "respectable" local media.
If we're embarrasing you, don't read it. Walter

WB,
Mugwhump indeed..it just seems to me that this kid, if he is as represented Ted's kid, did not ask for or volunteer for this duty. He might be getting a bit edgy. My concern is certainly not for Teddy...he placed himself in the public all those centuries ago when he first ran for office, but for the alleged son he fathered out of wedlock. Now, if th3e kid himself wants to go public and make an issue or a profit center out of his parentage, fine. Until then, I feel the right thing to do is to discuss him but not either show his image or publish his name.
I am not sure you could embarras me, but I am equally uncertain about the rightness of embarrasing someone who's misfortune it might be to be Ted's bastard son.

"So, with no definitive answer, we went to our most reliable source, MySpace.com.... blah blah.
The key words are "no definitive answer."
So Wonkette, whoever or whatever that is, is saying no such thing. They're simply passing along the same rumor as those other "countless national blogs." Just bullshit bouncing around the echo chamber, in other words.
In an attempt to educate you all, I've often pontificated here on the difference between news and blogging. Here's a good example. It's hard work checking stuff out and getting things straight. Using rumor, innuendo and celebrity garbage to attract eyes to your page is a lot easier.

This young man is now 21. He's old enough to take the flack. Although it may seem insensitive or tawdry, I think it's good that the tabloids brought this up for its 5 minutes of fame. Tiptoeing around the subject and whispering about only perpetuates and enables Ted's complete absence from this kid's life and allows him to keep getting away with using his family money to make his dirty secrets go away.
If this young man never gets up the nerve in his life to confront his father (which is pretty likely), then at least the media is blaring it out and doing it for him.
Why should another secret be kept in another Irish Catholic family in America --especially if that secret is a family member. People of all heritages and religions have family secrets to one degree or another, but the Irish Catholics have raised it to the level of an art form.

And another thing--Ted's a shrewd politician but the man is somewhere between a paramecium and slime mold as far his evolution of character.
Teddy was 53 years old when he fathered this boy.
Isn't that old enough to know to either use condoms or at least not lead young girls on with promises? And this is after he killed a young woman in his car when he was 37 and apparently decided it was not quite time for him to sober up and keep it in his pants.
He really is a pathetic piece of work, this man, and the only reason the tabloids are bothering to print this is because it's so in keeping with the rest of his disastrous personal life. I think his wife Victoria must be a money grubber of the highest order, how else could you live with this fat drunk hypocrite.

Cape Cod Today has become a tabloid - a Republican tabloid at that.
CapeMom, you are showing your true colors.

CapeCodToday may be a tabloid. I don't necessarily dislike tabloids. I would say that CapeCodToday is neither Republican nor Democrat. Just becuase I don't like Ted Kennedy does not mean I'm a Republican. Does being a Democrat in this state mean prostrating yourself at the feet of anyone named Kennedy? The best ones were assassinated a long time ago, unfortunately.

It is reprehensible to think that at the age of 21, or any age, one should be about to take the abuse of the media. Family is not something that should be discussed by those not in the family. Were the senator anyone else, no one would be interested. Leave this boy alone. He should have the right to decide what the public does and does not know about him. It is not our right to make that decision for him.
capemom [Member] writes:
"Family is not something that should be discussed by those not in the family."
What if it isn't even discussed in the family? This boy isn't being abused by the media even 1% as much he has been abused by not having a biological father who cares about him.

that's your excuse [Visitor] writes:
Let me understand your reasoning -
Since the boy is being abused by his family, it's okay for you to publically humiliate him.
I hear you sleep with your boss and fathered one of his children.
Do you want us to talk about that?

How will you feel if someone is able to do the necessaery research and we find out that the story is not true? Are you going to apologize to this young man face-to-face? Why should he have to take any flack?

The birth records of illegitimate children in Massachusetts are impounded documents. The state will not even acknowledge a request for information if it does not come from one of the parties named on the birth certificate. Ergo - no proof, now or ever.
And who says this young man is being abused by his family? It's no one's business but his and you know nothing.
Capemom, I doubt you would let your babes be abused the way you are abusing this person. Leave the poor kid alone

The only person I am verbally abusing is this kid's father. Do you think the kid doesn't know about Chappaquiddick? I'm sure he has heard an equal amount of praise as contempt for his father.

I think the kid is cool. He's wearing a Ramones t-shirt. At least he's got good taste in vintage rock music. Note the multiple studs in the ear as well.

Peter Porcupine - I beg to differ. I am the parent of a 20 year old illegitimate child. I speak from experience. Although I used court action to add the father's name to the birth cert 3 years ago, it is still an impounded document, unavailable and unacknowledged to anyone but the three people named on that certificate.
Call any town clerk and you will get this answer. Write the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Boston and they will not even return your letter.

One more thing on the birth cert - a father's name gets added either by his assent at the birth, by authentication via scientific court order proof, if the father makes a claim at a later date (it protects the man, if he's not the biological father, he can adopt and then be liable for child support) or by ajudication, which was the means I used. The name was added to the birth cert against the father's wishes. The court order paternity tests proved what he chose to reject. It also make him liable for up to 22 years of child support.
Not so easy to verify paternity if you are just being nosy. The law is meant to protect the child, as well as parents who may wish to do the right thing, but for whatever reasons cannot, something many people don't care to think about, including some writing here.
