Not that I want to be a member of this high-profile, champion-of-women's rights, elected official's club, but, alas, my sex is not privy to the secret handshake:

Kennedy was outed by conservatives late last week as a current member of The Owl Club, a social club for Harvard alumni that bans women from membership.
In an interview with WHDH Channel 7’s Andy Hiller that aired last night, Kennedy said, “I joined when I . . . 52 years ago, I was a member of the Owl Club, which was basically a fraternal organization.”
Asked by Hiller whether he is still a member, Kennedy said, “I’m not a member; I continue to pay about $100.”
He then said of being a member in a club that discriminates against women, “I shouldn’t be and I’m going to get out of it as fast as I can.”

Which just illustrates the Oscar award-winning performaces that were going on in those ridiculous Alito hearings last week. (Via Jonah Goldberg.)
