Wow. You are so right. I'd lost track of the case and it didn't even register to me when we lost Beau. I was biting my tongue early in the thread when Wheeler got mentioned. Because the highest ranking government official who possibly could have had a connection to the untimely demise of Jack Wheeler that I could come up with was a guy named Biden. But his first name wasn't Beau, it was Joe.
Many years ago, perhaps mid seventies, I was with my father when Ted Kennedy got mentioned. My said to me, "That man had been a compromised man ever since Chappaquidick". I have always thought that Joe Biden has been a compromised man from the day of the discovery of his plagiarism. Certain compromised people can become very malleable tools in the right hands.
I shook hands with Teddy Kennedy when he was running for President in 1979. I am not kidding you, his hand was like a dead fish. He had no chance in hell of getting elected in our neighborhood.
