Ted Kennedy's scheduled campaign trail speech cancelled in PA
Steve Cass Radio Show | September 15, 2004 | Fishface

Posted on 09/16/2004 9:25:45 AM PDT by Fishface

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.

I did find out online that she was indeed from Larksville
(Luzerne County), Pennsylvania. That's for sure.

(from a booklet in a Dead Kennedys album, with lyrics
for the song 'Too Drunk to F---':

"TED KENNEDY's 'TOO DRUNK TO SWIM'
b/w 'PRAY, MARY JO!'
Available at Hall of Records
Chappaquiddick, MA" )

Too bad it was cancelled. Sounded like an opportunity for the "Mother of all Freeps".

He drove of the bridge and then left her there to die. Apparently, there was an air pocket and she could have been alive as long as an hour. If he had not swum across the channel and gone to bed she might have been pulled out alive. HE MURDERED HER!!!!!

I just heard this reported on the Steve Cass radio show. I've been trying to find some corroboration but haven't found anything.

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.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but in PA, cases in which a DUI driver's accident results in death are typically prosecuted as vehicular homicide.

Not like Playboy at all, because you can actually read the articles and learn something from them.

LOL, I've said this before, there is a mole (maybe more than one) on this campaign staff. This is just otherwise inexplicable.

There's probably more than one and they work for Hitlary Clintoon, IMO.

YOu can learn something from Playboy articles, too. Like how Hugh Hefner preaches the philosophy of a retarded goat. I think that is kind of interesting, don't you?

That's probably the type of person who was assigned to forge the Bush memos, somebody too young, too arrogant, and too dumb to know about typewriters, military abbreviations, and the special government size paper used in the 70's.
