Yep the same people lamenting the lack of protests and political activisim on campus these days, will be deeply offended by this student's political activism/theatre.

I bet Uncle Teddy thought he got off scot-free after paying Mary Jo Kopechne's family around $150,000 to shut up and then being elected to the Senate.

I bet he thought it would be nothing in 40 years, that everyone would have forgotten that party in the boonies where an unknown girl died because he was drunk and had to sleep it off while she stayed trapped in a car, and drowned...

I bet Uncle Teddy thought we were all fooled by that neck brace BS, that we'd all just forgive and forget.

Too bad that the only person he can truly ask forgiveness from, he killed. I'd love to hear Mary Jo's recollection of what exactly happened that night.

Mary Jo was a "little person," an unknown woman, a "nobody."
One of those people Kennedy claims to speak for...well, she didn't get spoken for, and she's dead. One of the "little people Uncle Teddy forgot, apparently.

Bad news, Uncle Teddy: I haven't forgotten. It took a looooong time for your cousin to face prison after killing Martha. You may not face prison, but I will remember Mary Jo.

Indeed, true hypocrisy.

"Free speech" is calling Bush "Hitler". Not reminding the public of the abuse of power by a political dynasty.
