you worked for tip o'neil.aw the way he operated within the massachusetts delegation with the great speaker of the house, tip o'neill. what was that side of ted kennedy? >> well, i keep thinking of stories, you know, back when he became the senator from massachusetts, replacing his brother, jack, it was back in '63. he called a party at his house of the delegation. they're ally rish guys most of them. in fact, all men at that point, and they all came over to his house. now, the jack kennedy tradition was to have the pols over for drinks and excuse them and have the aristocrats over for dinner. so he says we're ready to pull out and teddy says, no. you're staying for supper. there was a difference between ted kennedy and jack kennedy. jack kennedy was an aristocrat, hung out with people of inherited wealth. those are the people he was comfortable with. ted kennedy was much more democratic, lower case "d" and his friends were staffers and all sorts of people even more so than bobby. he was much more democratic in

. >> andrea, we think so much more about the relationship between ronald reagan and tip o'neill, who was speaker of the house in those days, another irishman of renowned, but i think it has surprised some people to learn that ted kennedy had a solid relationship with ronald reagan and also with nancy reagan. frankly, it was interesting, yesterday morning, to go on the senator's website and to look at the first statements that had been posted after his death. and one of the first was from nancy reagan, a very touching statement from her about his passing. so it was not a relationship that was as well known as the one between tip o'neill and ronald reagan, but it certainly existed and we are learning more about that in these days. >> in fact, dan and michael, one of the issues, of course, was stem cell research, which was so important to her, in which she helped propel. >> that's right. the ted kennedy was an alliance with nancy reagan against many members of her own party, especially against president george w. bush. can i say a word about the picture we're seeing on the screen. maybe

joining us is tom o'neill from "in touch" weekly magazine. what do you think with the dancing?the line? was it too much? >> i don't think so. what's interesting is if disney thought so, if fox thought so, they would have broadcast her here. they could have stopped this. one million out of the four million viewers under the age of 18. they knew they may have been crossing the line. she's just holding on to the poll for a brief minute and ducks down and gets up again. so in a way we're reading a lot into it. >> how much, though, the fact that she is a global superstar and she's a role model for millions of kids, how much does she need to keep that at the forefront of her mind without risking it all? >> i think miley look at it the opposite way. she thinks how far can she push things and still remain cool? we were just talking at break about your daughter. what are the two concerts she wants to see? >> i had to admit. i'm going to take her to britney and she'll take her friends to miley. >> she sees those gals as cool. >> here is what she wants to do. she wants to booed en her fan

he gets treated very differently in history because tip o'neill was a great citizen. always believed ruthless power play got better treatment today and tomorrow. and i was betting he was wrong. but even now you almost never and you didn't see it at the time, there's almost no prudence coverage of 1998 of the bact that the democrats had received something historic. all the coverage running up to the election they're going to lose 25 to 30 seats. it's going to be a calamity. instead, they hit the republicans between the eyes with a 2x4 and did something that had never about that happened. so the publi agreed with me and they were right. it was about power. it doesn't excuses the personal mistake i made, but it was not an impeachable offense. no one ever says today, it came at the end of a white water inquiry which there was nothing to and in which hillary and i were completely exonerated by an exceedingly partisan prosecur who could never find anything that i did wrong and a civil lawsuit when i was exonerated by a political opponent of a judge. and they all said when t

and yet o'neill didn't fully come to grips with that fact until the summer of 2007. august of 2007 when he embarked on what has been a much remarked on solo golfing excursion essentially, taking days in late august and september of 2007 alone playing golf. many people wondering why in the world would stand o'neill be doing that while it seems the world was starting to melt down. i believe it was because he finally understood that his firm was in serious serious trouble and he was trying to collect his thoughts and figure out what to do. ultimately a year later merrill lynch would be sold to bank of america for about $40 billion in a deal that is still being loed at very carefully by regulators, if any of you have watched television in saint ben bernanke get up and have to testify in front of congress. why they spent so much time on this is not quite clear to me. but nonetheless bank of america did pay a high price to receive that it may have collapsed on september 15 or 16th, at last year, if it not been for bank of america. coming in. seems thing a lot better these
