“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

- Boston Globe reporter Charles Pierce, 2003

She fought with courage and optimism, and received fine treatment absolutely no help as she drowned alone, deserted, but the disease rising tide simply proved too strong.

Kennedy’s toughest fight was Chappaquiddick, he had to cover his ass to get a way with it.

“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, [Senator for Life] Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

Tell the committee they can retire the award, Charles Pierce has set a standard that will never be matched.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

All I thought he had to fight was advice that he should report the accident.

[ovrtaxt]

These people are disgusting.

[preacher]

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Ted and his supporters are despicable.

[Non-Sequitur]

You can count on more columns like this as Kennedy nears the end.

[metesky]

Ask the people of Barnstable County, which is all of Cape Cod and supposedly Fat Boy’s home, why he has never carried his home county in an election.

[billorites]

You Freepers are just horrible!

Senator Kennedy has done so much good and helped so many people. He got me my SSI after my husband died.

And besides, that family has suffered so!

Poor Joe and Rose losing three boys and all. It's a shame I tell you. Then there's that retarded one they had to put away...

[bert]

They suffered because they are fundamentally bad.

[G.Mason]

" ... I sympathize with the plight facing Ted Kennedy, his family and loved ones ... "

I do not.

Ted Kennedy is a leading member of the enemy Democrat Party, U.S.A., and as such I wish him a bon voyage, as I would any of my enemies.

[leprechaun9]

Good ‘ole Joe Kennedy gave the lobotomy to the wrong one of his children!

[Diogenesis]

‘put away’ = lobotomy

[Dahoser]

He seems to have had ample help through the years in covering his ample tuckus. Bob Herbert is the latest in a long line of apologists for the Cape Cod Orca in particular, and America’s anything but royal family in general.

[Nervous Tick]

>> he had to cover his ass to get a way with it.

Yes, covering THAT fat ass certainly would be a struggle!
