Ted Kennedy suffered from a "little brother" complex. He never got to bang Marilyn Monroe, but he did do something his brothers hadn't, he drowned his date and he avoided getting bumped off.
Cowardly lion might be a better description for the hypocrite Ted. He's the same guy that was all about gun control, yet HE had armed body guards. He suffered from an elitist complex and was essentially a drunken privileged Frat boy.
So, uh, what about Bernie makes him "the man"?
