May she rest in peace.
One of my favorite questions for a Libtard who supports the Fat Little Rich Kid is to ask if the person driving that night at Chappaquidick had been named Nixon or Helms would they still consider it a non-event? For some reason that just makes them angry.
Hard not to feel self-righetous when comfronted by Kennedy and his syncophants. I may have a log in my eye but obviously Kennedy has a bridge in him. He is a man who has been rotting from the inside out for almost forty years. His only sign of repentance was his half-hearted attempt to run for president in 1980.
You, me and Edward M. Kennedy aside, Charles Pierce’ fatuousness is simply stunning.
He paid them off...
i heard he paid them off. Where did you read otherwise?
Revisiting Chappaquiddick After 35 Years
...In terms of a settlement, the Kopechnes eventually received $140,904 ($90,904 from Kennedy and $50,000 from his insurance coverage).
MaryJo will be waving as every single member of the Kennedy clan passes by her on their way to Hell.
I am sure I saw it on on of the 60 minutes type shows. I remember thinking how sorry he was that he never contacted the family. According to post #46 they did receive a rather paltry settlement.
Very sad life they had. Very sad.
RIP
The Kopechnes received a large settlement from the Kennedys after the incident. That's why Kennedy was never charged.
Kennedy was driving the young woman from a party when he drove off a bridge and into a pond. Kennedy escaped with minor injuries but Mary Jo was killed..... by TEDDY.
There I fixed it!
er....there's a little bit more to the event than that.
...having, at that time, suddenly come into an unanticipated, financial windfall sufficient to build a new home.
Mary Jo: But Teddy, I think I’m pregnant!
Ted: Well, Mary Jo, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!
Make that 50 years, at least. While it wasn’t murder, Teddy did get expelled from Harvard for cheating and then for paying someone to cheat for him.
He went into the Army, came back, and was once again enrolled in Harvard, bought and paid for. I remember when it was revealed, several years after it happened and he wanted to run for Jack’s former Senate seat.
Here’s a post from when her dad died: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1049467/posts
That decision isn't yours to make but perhaps in your omniscience you can tell us how your particular judgment is going to turn out.
He was the baby of the family, fifteen years younger than Jack, for instance, and spoiled rotten. Then there is that tendency for the line to run to seed. Joe Jr. was the ablest, than Jack, then Bobby, and then you-know-who. All spoiled in some way, but Teddy cracked under the load. Bobby’s death probably broke him. He—thank God—has never aspired to any thing higher than his safe seat in the senate since he ran off that bridge.
