He did not murder her!! I hate that fat commie as much as the next guy but there is no need to lie. With that said, he was negligent in her death.

I just heard a report on the local talk radio show here in Rhode Island that Ted Kennedy slated campaign speech for John F-ing Kerry in Pennsylvania today was cancelled.
As it turns out, the town they had him stumping in was Mary Jo Kopechne's hometown and there was a considerable backlash. Another great move by the Kerry Campaign.
To refresh your memory, Mary Jo Kopechne is the young woman that Ted murdered years ago when he crashed his car in Martha's Vineyard. I say murdered because she didn't drown, she suffocated in the submerged car while waiting to be rescued. Ted walked away and didn't report it to the police until his friends made him the next morning, leaving her to die.
I know Rush, Sean Hannity and Howie Carr are lurkers. Let's hope they see this.

They run out of Chivas?
It's a blessing in disguise for the Dems. The more they trot out Evita and Otis, the more the middle ground shifts to Bush...
Yours is the quote of the day IMO.
her hometown is/was Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
The term "vehiclar homicide" suggests murder and is applicable here.
We can also argue the point that having the ability to save someone from death and not can be construed as a form of murder.
If so the dims are really really dim...I guess the advance team found out where they were soon enough to warn him off.
Don't you mean he didn't report it until he was sure he'd sobered up?
Yes! Remember this is the party whose leader has a problem with the meaning of a two letter word....!
Here is an article about the whole sordid affair. For anyone who is interested in an in-depth account of what really happened, the book "Senatorial Privelege" is a great read.

Wow! What idiot booked that stop?
Even after sobering up, Ted refused to report the incident until those close to him threatened to do so themselves.
The correct term for what happened is "homicide".
Do you actually think he was sober when he drove off that bridge? Is driving off a bridge while intoxicated, leaving the scene of the accident and not reporting it for over 12 hours simple negligence? Whether he was drunk or not, he failed to get help immediately and allowed that girl to sit in a submerged car for hours just to save his sorry ass. That's murder in my book.
I thought he was going to Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. Forty Fort isn't in the same county as either of them, right?
