The ghost of Ted Kennedy haunts the Herald

By adamg on Wed, 03/02/2011 - 7:01am

Kennedy famously made sure Rupert Murdoch had to choose between keeping Channel 25 and the Herald (a couple decades after the feds stripped the Herald-Traveler of its TV license) and now the Federal Highway Administration thinks the state should make Herald owner Pat Purcell take down the billboard atop the (eventually to be former) Herald plant next to the Expressway.

The FHA also expresses ire over the giant banner on the Fenway Community Health Center building on Boylston Street in the Fenway, which is right next to, um, er, hey, what highway is it next to again?

What an amazing headline. If anyone was haunted in his lifetime, it was Ted Kennedy. And it was the Herald that was there to remind us of it. The family better hope there is no God, because if there is, Ted is being turned over a fire on a spit right now, and Mary Jo is turning the crank.
