Senator beached whale Kennedydidit, you are toast ... courtesy of Supreme Court Justice Alioto.
If it wasn't such a sad and angering bit of history, Kennedydidit's future? will be fun to watch.
Popcorn anyone?
Yo, 'nother beer?

You know what the worst thing is? He wouldn't care, even if his sotted rotted pickled "mind" knew.

And yes, the scare quotes around "mind" are intentional.

Interesting stuff, John. Good work. Would there be public interest in about a 45 minute documentary --- TED KENNEDY, CHAPPAQUIDDICK LIFEGUARD ?

[sageb1]

Can this go in "breaking?" Or not enough in the way of sources?

[writer33]

Ping!

[Lurker]

Wow...if this is true it's pretty devastating to The Swimmer. Not that he has anything resembling shame or conscience.

[sageb1]

It's there. Great!

Read more carefully. The article draws a link between Kopechne and the Alitos, a family to which Samuel's wife (the former Miss Bomgardner) is related by law.

Sorry...this is lame.

I went to high school with a girl who won a gold medal in ice skating in the Olympics. We never met.

However...somebody could draw "a connection"....

Yikes, Ted Kennedy is not a candidate for a designated driver. In fact, his car should sport a warning sticker that reads "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK"

From the personal memories of this woman that Mrs. Alito got from her husband’s family,

Well written and timely. Teddy still has to face his Creator.

[BobS]

Good job. But it's sick, disheartening and evil if true. I look back over years and wonder if this is why Kennedys get killed. Criminals inside and smiley pictures outside. No wonder Massachusettes is Cuba without the sugar cane. It really fits together nicely.

Mary Jo would be about the same age as Judge Alito if she had lived.

what part of this sentence do you not understand.


". On occasion, they attended the same church in Roseland, New Jersey, as the Alitos, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, one of only two churches in that town of 5,298"

This has been discussed on FreeRepublic before, but not all of the facts were presented as you have done. Thanks. Earlier post:

Posting your research links would be helpful.

"Through her husband’s family, she learned of their personal friendship with another young woman who was also an only child. This other woman and her family were staunch Catholics. On occasion, they attended the same church in Roseland, New Jersey, as the Alitos, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, one of only two churches in that town of 5,298. The Alitos live in Caldwell, population 7,584, where this other woman graduated from Caldwell College, probably as a commuter student from her home, rather than a resident student. From the personal memories of this woman that Mrs. Alito got from her husband’s family, and from her own understanding of what it means to be an only child, Mrs. Alito knew of the worst thing that any human being could do to another. She also heard of its impact on the family. That other woman’s name was Mary Jo Kopeckne."

1. Mary Jo Kopechne was born in 1940 while Martha Alito was born in 1953 - thirteen years later.

2. Ms. Kopechne was raised in Pennsylvania while Mrs. Alito was raised in Kentucky with family roots in Oklahoma and Texas." - writmeister

>>>Sorry...this is lame.

Your assessment is what's lame.

[RobbyS]

The connection is through her husband's family. She doesn't know what THEY think of Kennedy?
