Ali was quite the mixed-bag, he supported Reagan.

“Those familiar with the Chappaquiddick incident know that time after time politics overshadowed the truth as privilege steamrolled justice”

Ted Kennedy told dead Mary Jo jokes and the press knew about it but kept that a secret until after he died.

All I can say is the Kennedy’s must have wrote one hell of a check to the family to shut up about it.

Interesting, long and wordy article. Did they bother, you know, to actually print the letter itself? That was kinda the point. I looked and didn’t see it.

And if they had sued him, Teddy couldn’t have created the open borders, welfare to all comers outrage that he instigated to pay back the WASPs for being so “mean” to the Irish.

Ali/Clay met Donald Trump on numerous occasions. There are at least 5 distinct meetings photographed in google images.

And there is outrage from the Left that Donald Trump has said that he’s considering a posthumous pardon for Ali.

There is a photo of the handwritten letter at the article. Ali signed it with his assumed name and his birth name so I assume it is only on side of the paper.

Teddy changed immigration preferences in 1965 and abandoned Mary Jo in 1969.

I’m OK with giving The Swimmer the Cromwell treatment - digging his Mitt-licking corpse up, hanging it, dismembering it and throwing it into a rest stop outhouse, where honest Americans can defecate on it.

Republicans were scared of the Kennedys.

Ted Kennedy had already started killing America in 1965, before he killed Mary Jo

Now, that’s a family who can really keep a secret.
Of course, they may have been ordered to keep it quiet....
OR ELSE!

shortly after her passing.

Seems like an out use of the word, as it makes her death seem more like a death from natural causes rather than a cold blooded murder.

B-1 Bob Dornan was really incensed about this whole thing.

As an honorable Catholic, especially. He related how the Catholic hierarchy sent some really big shot to visit her parents and shut things down (sorry, don’t know a Bishop from a Cardinal or a Pope in the woods).

The press kept everything secret about the Kennedys

They were and are rotten to the core

I don’t think the champ came up with this letter by himself. Maybe he was doing this as a favor for one of his lawyers who he was later to recommend for the law suit. That part about Kennedy’s speech being written by lawyers does not sound like way the Louisville Lip talked.

If they’ve really authenticated his handwriting and signature then I’ll give him an A on his cursive and it is better than mine.
