There may be a more disgusting, nauseating spectacle than Teddy Kennedy sitting in judgment on a Supreme Court nominees ethics and integrity, but Im not sure what this might be. But, there he was on national TV, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking his questions and making his points with all the skills of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Kennedy among other things:
Was suspended from Harvard because of cheating when he was caught getting another student to take a Spanish test for him.
Had his father get his Army duty changed to two years from the four years he signed up for. He ended up a guard at NATO headquarters in Paris rather than in Korea where a war was going on.

WOW! That new one is IMPRESSIVE!
We could all do so much if we had the equipment. You really come up with creative ideas! You you write really well.
Ted Kennedy is unfit to serve in the Senate.
When they pulled that car out of the pond, was the car door opened?
Because if Ted opened the door and swam out, wouldn't that have caused the car filled with water?
So, if the water seeped in to suffocate her, vs. drown her, that would mean that the car door didn't open. No?
Did Ted actually go over in the car? Or did he drive her there, 'to talk'? And the 'talking maybe didn't go well' and she got upset and tried to drive away and accidently went off the bridge?
I'm just trying to figure out this air thing in the car.
According to Leo Dalamore, Teddy's cousin, a lawyer, was at the party and learned about the accident when Teddy returned to the party house, sans auto et sans blonde. He insisted that Teddy report the accident and Teddy agreed. His cousin left him off at the ferry slip whence Teddy swam back to Edgartown. Instead of reporting the accident, Teddy checked into a motel and proceeded to try to establish an alibi.
The next morning, he took the ferry back to Chappaquiddick and proceeded on foot to the accident scene. Two boys fishing had spotted the car that morning and called police. The local police chief ran the tags and had already discovered the body when he encountered Ted on the road. He accepted Ted's explanation that he intended to report the accident. (Actually he was going to see if it had been discovered.)
Good Point.
>>>>whence Teddy swam back to Edgartown.
That is even debatable after reading YTedK.com
One of the statements made in that site was about a dingy that was tied up with a 'land lubbers' knot, since the ferry wasn't running.
And look at this statement once he got across from the Shiretown Inn room clerk. Don't you think she would have noticed if he was wet????
>>> - Peachey recalled that "He didn't look to me like a man who had come downstairs to complain about noise. He was just standing there. He was fully dressed. I think he was wearing a jacket and slacks. Usually, a man who just wants to complain about noise doesn't get up and get fully dressed to do it. Especially at 2:25 in the morning."<<<<
Another Emerson quote comes to mind, "The louder he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons."
Swimming was the cousin's account. Could be he swiped a dingy. Edgartown is a summer resort. Usually people in these places don't leave dingies unsecured. Even if they did, wouldn't they at least secure the oars? The channel between Chappaquiddick and Edgartown is like 100 yards wide, even during changing tides not much current (unlike Pocha Pond), no challenge, really.
The landlubber's knot is a nice touch, though. I would be surprised that someone who grew up knowing how to handle boats didn't know how to tie a proper knot. Sounds more like a Yorker to me.
I've met Evan. He does good work and would simply write it himself.

That is interesting. The oars point too.
Huh.

MIDI - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
(musical intro)
Alioto, you will be grilled
Before we're done with you, we'll have had our fill
You racist scum, we'll certainly be exposing you
So I am warning you
There's a bridge off of which I'll drive you if you don't withdraw
There's a bridge off of which I'll drive you if you don't withdraw
I failed lifeguard class...you know that
But I float pretty well because I am so fat
My Oldsmobile has been restored to original
So I am warning you
There's a bridge off of which I'll drive you if you don't withdraw
There's a bridge off of which I'll drive you if you don't withdraw
I won't hesitate...like old times
We know that Oldsmobile just cannot stop on a dime
And in my hand will be a bottle for company
So I am warning you
There's a bridge off of which I'll drive you if you don't withdraw
There's a bridge off of which I will drive you if you don't withdraw
Withdraw

MIDI - SURREY WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP (scroll to "From Oklahoma")
Mary Jo, come for a drive with me
With the wind in our hair we'll feel free
I have all the power of two hundred horses
We will have a fun time, you will see
Fords and Cads and Jags better scurry
'Cause I'll really be in a hurry
'Cause I'll really be in a hurry in my Oldsmobile
You are making my dingy quiver
I am hoping you will deliver
I know a nice place by a river where I'll cop a feel
It's automatic and the engine sure purrs
It has air for summer weather
And if I am naked while I fool around
My butt sometimes sticks to the leather
Mary Jo, you're cute as a model
Will you pass one more Chevas bottle
You'll see when I step on the throttle it will be surreal
It is always an adventure in my hot Oldsmobile
I've a technique I haven't varied
Let us just pretend I'm not married
Let us just pretend I'm not married in this Oldsmobile
I know sometimes I am conniving
My friend just took my test for diving
But I swear that I'm fit for driving so it's no big deal
It's automatic and the engine sure purrs
It has air for summer weather
And if I am naked while I fool around
My butt sometimes sticks to the leather
Mary Jo, you're cute as a model
Will you pass one more Chevas bottle
You'll see when I step on the throttle it will be surreal
It is always an adventure in my hot Oldsmobile
When we hit the road, if it's raining
There will be no need for complaining
My brakes I've always been maintaining in my Oldsmobile
It's well known that I hold my liquor
Most officials get drunk much quicker
There's a barf bag if I get sicker after that big meal
It's automatic and the engine sure purrs
It has air for summer weather
And if I am naked while I fool around
My butt sometimes sticks to the leather
Mary Jo, you're cute as a model
Will you pass one more Chevas bottle
You'll see when I step on the throttle it will be surreal
It is always an adventure in my hot Oldsmobile
Poor, poor Ted
we just heard the news
Could it be that hes had too much booze
He holds a seat that the RATS may lose
Teddys liver
Hey Jane Swift, dear, are you all set
You will soon get your chance, we bet
Poor Tom Daschle
his pants are all wet
Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says it is pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the vast right wing is feeling sad
If only there could be a way to hear from Mary Jo
Were sure she would say its a tragic way to go
Poor, poor Teddys liver
When hes gone, it will seem so odd
No waitress sandwich with his pal, Dodd
So raise your glass and lets give him a nod
Teddys liver
When the time comes to say goodbye
We will not see one dry eye
Like Ron Brown, will Scumbag laugh and then cry
Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says its pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the vast right wing is feeling sad
If only there could be a way to hear from Mary Jo
Were sure she would say that its a tragic way to go
Poor, poor Teddys liver
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
his doc says its pretty bad
Teddys liver, Teddys liver
the right wing is feeling sad
Think of the music videos you two can create!!!!
