I think it was a perfect choice.
I get it now. The link went to a Steve Miller video of "Take The Money And Run" (as in what Mary Jo's parents may have done in a Kennedy payoff). I had assumed the link would be to an interview with the parents or something of the sort.
But she would have certainly survived a longer time with the air pocket.
Didn’t it say in the police report that she had been clawing at the carpet of the submerged auto? I can’t EVEN imagine the horror......much less the HELL her parents went through because of that piece of manure. All the ‘wheeling and dealing’ behind the scenes to ‘save his a$$’. Disgusting.
No telling HOW many women were ‘victims’....in one way or another....to that criminal family.
If he did, I’m sure she pressed the down button on the Elevator to Hell.
Robert Kennedy actually got his start in politics working on investigations for Senator Joseph McCarthy. Joe Kennedy may have earned the family fortune off insider information but until Teddy came along, nobody in the family delighted in cozying up to Communists.
Ya know....thanks for posting this. It has to go down as one of the best ‘links to collect’....evar!
Wiki seems to have an ok piece on the incident...
Keep in mind that Teddy didn’t notify file a police report until the next day, AFTER the body had already been discovered.
From Wikipedia:
“Earlier that morning, two amateur fishermen had seen the overturned car in the water and notified the inhabitants of the cottage nearest to the pond, who called the authorities at around 8:20 am.[14] A diver was sent down and discovered Kopechne’s body at around 8:45 am.[15] The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne’s body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded that:
“Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim’s side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car.”[8]
Farrar believed that Kopechne “lived for at least two hours down there.”[16]”

If I remember right, that was a satire “ad” in Mad Magazine...
How do you know he went to Hell? We are saved by faith and not by our own works. Leave the sending to hell to God and despite all Kennedy’s flaws I pray he he is saved and sent to heaven.
Sounds like he had faith, so his many, many sins don’t matter.
But not so for the Germans.
I don't know. Maybe you can find it somewhere and link us to it.
What are they shoveling? I’d bet it stunk.
>Kennedy, a man of wealth and taste......
Thanks for the youtube link. I knew that was a line from some popular song, but I couldn’t recall which.

If you look at the memorial on that website to him & read the floral tributes you will see only praise is allowed. If you mention Mary Jo you get zapped. I left a flame with the words “no comment” and it was removed and I was told this is inappropriate. I read a few entries of sugar coated praise for his life work. One guy even said this:
Dear Ted,All of the wonderful things that you championed converted me from a die hard Republican to a Democrat for Life. You were the champion of social justice and I am so proud to be a Democrat. God Bless you.
- Jaime B. D’Arcy-Garcia
I don’t believe this (that he was always a die hard Republican) at all but it got posted.
Someone would take that wrong turn if they didn’t know their HARD left from their HARD right.
I’ve been on Chappy many times too...
I get a kick out of people who call into talk shows and spout out a different story - it’s all BS, these people do not know the roads when they spew their seminar calls.
National Lampoon.
Suppose if the body is exhumed, will it contain remnants of a fetus?
