Ali takes a rest during his fight with Joe Frazier
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.
TOO SOON!!! /s
btrl
Now, that’s a family who can really keep a secret.
Of course, they may have been ordered to keep it quiet....
OR ELSE!
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.
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.
No comment on Ali, but TK should have been tried for manslaughter. Absolutely no question about that.
The saddest part is the kopechnes took the $ instead of Ali’s bravery. However, I have not lost a child in utter preventable tragedy so I can’t presume to understand their states of mind.
They definitely should have sued. I played Celebration by Kool and the Gang when he kicked his oxygen addiction.
Would Ali have supported Kaepernick?
Of all the sleazy, slimy humans to bear the Kennedy name Teddy was the worst.
just as an FYI for those that follow the “incident”.....
Paul Markham died this week at 89
Ali takes a rest during his fight with Joe Frazier
“What critics may not realize however is that Muhammad Ali was not alone. After her death, Mary Jo’s parents received thousands of letters from all walks of life. Muhammad Ali was not the only one who wrote passionate, strongly-worded letters to Mary Jo’s parents in support of her and in order to help ease a parent’s anguish of losing their only child.
...
Release all of them. People need to know what a dirtbag Ted Kennedy was.
The Kennedy’s were as immune from justice as the Clintons.
Could it be that a 50-year moratorium on commenting on Mary Jo’s death has just expired? Perhaps the family will release more.
