Ted Kennedy gets caught in the No Fly list

WASHINGTON - Sen. Edward "Ted" Kennedy said yesterday that he was stopped and questioned at East Coast airports five times in March because his name appeared on the government's secret "no-fly" list.

Federal air security officials said the initial error that led to scrutiny of the Massachusetts Democrat should not have happened even though they recognize that the no-fly list is imperfect. Privately, they acknowledged being embarrassed that it took the senator and his staff more than three weeks to get his name removed.

1. Why Is it NOT Funny

That the Bush administration treats the White House as a Frat House?
