Ted Kennedy and Benedict Arnold

A KGB memo from 1983 indicates that Senator Ted Kennedy made overtures to the Soviet Union about helping to remove Ronald Reagan.

The offer was to help the Soviet leadership, military and civilian, conduct a PR campaign in the United States as President Ronald Reagan sought re-election. The goal of the PR campaign would be to cast President Reagan as a warmonger, the Soviets as willing to peacefully co-exist, and thereby turn the electorate away from Reagan. It was a plan to enlist Soviet help, and use the American press, in unseating an American president.

Sheesh! It's only politics, people. When you hate your political opponent more than our nation's enemies, you need to take some time out to get your bearings back.
