Speaking of medals,I believe there should be a Mary Jo Kopechne National Memorial.
If not for the obvious cover-up of her murder The Swimmer would probably have run for President and won in 1976.
The history of the past 30 years could have been much worse.
Chappaquiddick deprived the murderer of his entitlement,the White House, and explains the hatred that consumes this puke.
Maybe self-loathing, too. How else explain the patheric campaign against Carter in 1980. He must know he is nothing except bluster.
