Greenpeace to Target Teddy

I'm no fan of Greenpeace, but I really like the ads they're going to run:

The infamous environmental group Greenpeace is targeting Sen. Ted Kennedy for opposing a wind farm in the Nantucket Sound because it would interfere with the view from his Hyannisport mansion.

Greenpeace is launching a nationwide TV ad campaign against Kennedy, with spots that portray the Massachusetts Democrat as Godzilla.

The Cape Cod Times reports:

"In the 30-second spot, a cartoon Kennedy looms over the water like a Japanese movie monster, pounding wind turbines as they sprout from the water, and barks, 'I might see them from my mansion on the Cape.'"

The ad is not that much of a stretch...

Teddy is getting some heat over the wind farm from his favorite fish wrapper:

In a blistering editorial, the New York Times has attacked legislation that would effectively torpedo plans to build an environmentally friendly wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.

And the bill has all the trappings of a behind-the-scenes move by "environmentalist” Ted Kennedy.

[...]

But as author Peter Schweizer first revealed in his best-selling book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy,” Sen. Kennedy opposed the plan because some of the turbines would be placed near his favorite sailing site just off the family compound in Hyannis Port.

TV channel CBS4 in Boston acknowledged Kennedy’s opposition, saying the Senator "would be able to see the turbines from his family compound.”

Maybe we could put solar collectors on Teddy's great white body. That could make up for the missing wind farm.
