LONDON (AP) — He won't be allowed to call himself Sir Ted, but Britain is awarding an honorary knighthood to U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The government says the senator is being recognized for services to U.S.-U.K. relations and to Northern Ireland. Prime Minister Gordon Brown's office says Brown will announce the honor Wednesday, when he addresses a joint session of Congress in Washington.

Is it not dangerous to give a drunk a sword ?
Maybe the fat, mudering bas**** will trip on his way to the bathroom and impale himself. We can always hope, can't we?
I had thought that those who received titles from foreign nations weren't elligible for public office. But I'll be damned if I can find that anywhere.
You're fucking shitting me, right?
*gacK!*
Well, I'm sure everyone has heard the old English saying that someone was "Drunk as a lord". I guess that includes knights as well.
Article 1 Sec 9 says that he cannot be knighted without the consent of the congress...
I wonder when that vote will be happening?
