This is all over the blogsphere, so I'll just lead you to the source, Hot Air.
It appears Teddy Kennedy tried to orchestrate a PR campaign with the Soviets during the 1984 election to help defeat Ronald Reagan.

Recently Read Books
Orson Scott Card: Speaker for the Dead (Ender, Book 2)
Still Reading . . .Sarah Palin: Going Rogue: An American Life
Interesting autobiography of the former VP candidate. From growing up in Alaska to the 2008 election and its aftermath. Get to know the real Sarah Palin. (****)Larry Niven Et. Al.: Man-Kzin Wars IX
Half-way through I realized I'd already read this book. Good book; the weekest story was by Niven himself. (****)P. J. O'Rourke: Driving Like Crazy: Thirty Years of Vehicular Hell-bending, Celebrating America the Way It's Supposed To Be -- With an Oil Well in Every Backyard, a Cadillac ... of the Federal Reserve Mowing Our Lawn
Long title, short book. Entertaining read and occasionally laugh out loud funny. Best parts are the more modern stuff talking about how liberals are going to ruin cars (and they will if they get the chance). (***)Poul Anderson: The Rise of the Terran Empire: Technic Civilization Saga
More old science fiction from one of the greats. Two novels and a bunch of short stories. Great fun. (****)Michael Dobbs: One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War
Densely researched yet reads like a suspense novel. Very interesting account of the Cuban Missile Crisis with new information that hasn't come to light before (such as tactical nukes in Cuba). Highly recommended. (*****)Larry Niven Et. Al.: Man-Kzin Wars XII
Above average for this series. More short stories about Man and Kzin interactions (and Pak Protectors). Expands well on Nivin's universe. (****)Thomas Sowell: A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles
Almost too intellectual and abstract for me. But a very interesting book espousing that there are two visions of the world and how these two visions lead to political "struggles." Very in-depth analysis and heavily researched. A very good book on ideology. (****)Albert Millspaugh: The Mystical Vortex: Gateway to Another Dimension
Not my favorite genre, but well written and plenty of action. (***)Poul Anderson: David Falkayn: Star Trader (Technic Civlization)
More Science Fiction from one of the great writers of the late 20th Century. Fun from beginning to end. (*****)James Thomas Flexner: Washington: The Indispensable Man
Great biography of a great man. Get to know the real person behind the legend. From his days as a surveyor to the nations' first president (and the politics he had to deal with) this book covers his adventurous life. Highly recommended. (*****)Larry Niven: Man-Kzin Wars XI
Decent stories about Man-Kzin wars. Nothing really exciting or special although one author did have a quirky sense of humor (as did his characters). (***)Thomas Sowell: Conquests And Cultures: An International History
Interesting history of peoples across the world and how conquest has shaped their history and culture. Very intelligent and cogent book. (****)Poul Anderson: The Van Rijn Method: The Technic Civilization Saga #1 (The Technic Civilization Saga)
My favorite genre (old science fiction) by one of my favorite writers. What's not to love in this collection of short stories (and one short novel from back when novels didn't have to be 100,000 word gargantuans). Great fun. (*****)P. J. O'Rourke: Modern Manners: An Etiquette Book for Rude People (O'Rourke, P. J.)
O'Rourke is usually funny when he writes about serious things (war, economics, government). In this book he's just trying to be funny but often the jokes fall flat. Funny (at times) and offensive (often), the biggest risk is someone may take him seriously. (***)
