from one of the comments that responded to the Boston Globe’s article on Joe-For-Oil’s possible run. They quoted from wikipedia:
>>”In 1973, a jeep he was driving overturned, injuring his brother David Kennedy and permanently paralyzing David’s then-girlfriend, Pam Kelley. The police cited Kennedy with reckless driving. The judge suspended his license temporarily.”
>>Doesn’t anyone remember that Joe had to withdraw from the governor’s race because of the book his first wife wrote- not only complaining about the special Kennedy dispensation from the church for annulment (to enable Joe to leave his first marriage in order to marry one of his aides) but also mentions the verbal and physical violence in her marriage- Is this the legacy we’d like to continue?
>>a jeep he was driving overturned
which reminds me of one of the funny things said on Mystery Science Theater; when the movie they were watching showed a very erratic driver, one of the robots said, “he drives like a Kennedy!”
