I looked for the part about calling his office to call him a murderer. I didn't see where Arizona said that. My call was just to wish him a happy anniversary. Those were the only words I said. They quickly hung up the phone.
I can't imagine he has that license.
One of the guys I served with was in Vietnam with the Americal Divison's 26th Eng Bn. He said they built a bridge over some stream in 1968 and named it the Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial Bridge.
shoulda added /sarc
He did it the same weekend Neil Armstrong landed on the moon----Ted always knew how to upstage anything.
Okay. I thought I missed something. I understand he does have a dog named Splash. Not that's true, isn't it?
haha.....ok.....you got me there....I stand corrected....LOL..have a great day..at least we can agree that he is walking SCUM...hell, most, not all but most of that clan is.......
Too bad he doesn't have the picture. But the event happened in 1969.
You too. Have a great day.
dunno 'bout the pup.
I remember the mindset of the country at the time was "Oh, that poor family, what they have to go through." They were of course referring to the Kennedy Clan, not the Kopecknes.
He's still a dirtbag!
It was probably 69 then. I served with him in 75, so it was after the fact when I knew him. He was a stand up type of guy.
Not only did Ted Kennedy get re-elected repeatedly by the iron coalition of immoral and idiot-voters of Massachusetts, but he always has carried the very county (Dukes County) where everyone knew well the details of the Chappaquiddick case. The local (left-wing) newspaper there carried all the facts over the years, but never hinted that the electorate should vote against Teddy. And the voters just didn't care.
That is corruption, utter corruption. The man is corrupt, and his constituents are just as corrupt. It is a sick, sick state.

- Satisfied that he had made a thorough observation of the accident scene, Farrar pulled the body of Mary Jo Kopechne out through the open window. The maneuver was complicated by the victim's hunched posture and outstretched arms made inflexible by rigor mortis.
-As he removed the body from the Senator's car, Farrar observed that it was "about one-quarter positively buoyant. There was still a little air left in her."
- Farrar tied the safety line around the victim, and brought her to the surface. The difficult recovery had taken him 10 minutes. In all, it took John Farrar 30 minutes from the time he got the call until he recovered the body from the accident car.
- Farrar repeatedly expressed the opinion that Mary Jo Kopechne had lived for some time underwater by breathing a bubble of trapped air, and that she could have been saved if rescue personnel had been promptly called to the scene. He had equipment to administer air to a trapped person directly or to augment an air pocket inside a submerged automobile.
- "There was a great possibility that we could have saved Mary Jo's life," Farrar said. "There would have been an airlock in the car - there always is in such submersions - that would have kept her alive. If we had been called, I would have reached the scene in 45 minutes. I say 45 minutes because it was dark. ( The daylight recovery had taken 30 minutes ). The lack of light might have caused a delay of 15 minutes."
- Three days before the Kennedy accident, The Boston Herald Traveler had run a story about a New Hampshire woman who had spent five hours in a submerged automobile. Amazed to find the driver unconscious but alive, police rushed the victim to a hospital where she was given respiration and treated for immersion. Doctors said an air bubble trapped inside the car had saved her life.
Doug, that thing is just precious. May I have your permission to spread it around?
Well, I will have to respectfully disagree with the characterization of it being precious --- but absolutely, send it everywhere. I think Ted's office might like it. :)
If anyone here has not read "Senatorial Privilege" I highly recommend it. However it will make you blood boil.
The 19th is also the anniversary of my father's birth. He would have been 86.
I talk to a lot of Massivetwoshitts people and so far, I've only found 2 that admit to voting for him. Yet he gets reelected without breaking a sweat. It's a mystery to me.
I did mean the xword puzzle, in case there was any doubt.
Bet there is no "History Channel" special on this, this year, or any year.
