Senator Edward M. Kennedy has agreed to a multimillion dollar deal with Hachette Book Group USA to pen his memoirs, giving the veteran Massachusetts lawmaker a forum for his own perspective on a life and career that has been examined by others in countless books and articles, negotiators of the deal confirmed yesterday.

Former President Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair each got a reported $10 million for their memoirs.

Wonder if the “Son of Sam” laws will give the Kopeckne family any of the advance and who the hell would contribute more money to the Kennedy Crime Family by buying this book?

Just how did he get out shut the door and leave her to drown?

Unless he’s going to tell us why he left Mary Jo at the bottom of the canal for ten to twelve hours, I couldn’t be less interested in what he has to say.

I’m no Senators son.

Actually he got out and left her to suffocate. She died at least two hours after he abandoned her. Which is why his behaviour after the crash was particularly sickening - she could easily have been saved.
