Hell, yes! You're talking about a "man" who couldn't take responsibility for what obviously happened at Chappaquiddick. Edward Moore Kennedy was a coward. He wasn't going to take on the assassins...he was terrified for his own life from 1968 forward.
Even in his dying months, eh? I don`t dispute his intents toward self-preservation vis-a-vis Chappaquiddick, but nothing from him or ANY other member of the family?
