Are they trying to say she was some kind of martyr?
Aren’t martyrs usually killed by their enemies?
Who is this woman anyway?
From her bio:
Oates won a scholarship to attend Syracuse University, where she joined Phi Mu
Isn’t that the one they call “Phi Moo”?
“What does Mary Jo’s family have to say on the matter? How do they feel that Kennedy’s friend, Klein, said that Teddy’s favorite jokes were Chappaquiddick jokes? The man makes me want to puke.”
“Ed Klein, said that Teddy’s favorite jokes were Chappaquiddick jokes”.
I can’t for the life of me think of anything more sick than the thought of Ted the “swimmer” laughing at anything concerning the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick.
That one woman’s life was cut short.
It’s too bad we didn’t have that one woman alive to make this comparison.
These folks are seriously deranged.
Seeing the author’s picture explains everything.
So perhaps all Senators should be allowed a murder or two.
Good God these people make me sick.
He was a drunk. He was a commie. He was the worst of America.
She looks like she’s spent too much time in the water herself.
Oh my goodness. That poor woman has Ed Zachary disease.
Although Oates considers herself a feminist, “Her tragic and violent plots abound with incidents of rape, incest, murder, mutilation, child abuse, and suicide, and her protagonists often suffer as a result of the conditions of their social milieu or their emotional weaknesses. This is especially true of her female characters, who are portrayed as dysfunctional, passive, and vulnerable to exploitation and abuse in a male-dominated society. For this reason feminist critics consider Oates a controversial figure, because she has created few strong, independent female role models in her numerous works.” http://www.enotes.com/feminism-literature/oates-joyce-carol
So much for feminist writers and their thought processes...
Or the lives of millions of unborn babies, for that matter..?
“Yet if one weighs the life of a single young woman against the accomplishments of the man President Obama has called the greatest Democratic senator in history, what is one to think?”
Right, spot on La:
Well one is to think that its not about the one women, whom was abandoned in the flooded, pitch black, car. To struggle waiting for rescue, while this monster changed clothes and arranged his damage control.
He has gone to judgment, Mary and others will cast for his lot. I hope he has something better than damage control, greed, corruption. Life is surely fleeting for us all. Hell is for ever.
Her mom may have loved her. I kinda respect her purity. ug, surface to the bone. This thing typifies the drift all that apologists adore.
Line her up for the Neville Chamberlain, honorable mention sticker.
The above theory holds only for the depraved or a writer long past her prime.
The good Kennedy did did not cost him anything. If it did cost, if it involved sacrifice be sure Teddy would punt.
Exerrent diagnosis!
"If I should hear of his funeral I would postpone all other recreations to attend."
