Ted Kennedy Couldn't Confess to Mary Jo's Family: Book
By XANA O'NEILL
Updated 10:46 AM EDT, Tue, May 19, 2009
Ted Kennedy couldn't bring himself to confess to the family of the woman he killed in a car accident how she died.
A new biography "Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died" reveals the longtime senator has been tormented by guilt for more than four decades and visited the parents of Mary Jo Kopechne twice after her death but could never speak of how she died, the New York Daily News reported.
"Ted had us come to his house in McLean [Va.], saying he wanted to talk," Mary Jo's late mother Gwen said in the book. "But [the visit] was uncomfortable -- for all of us."
"Ted led us to believe he was going to explain what really happened. But when the time came, after plenty of small talk, he said he just couldn't talk about it," she said. "It was very puzzling. Twice we drove all the way down there [from Pennsylvania] and twice he couldn't talk about how our daughter died."

"It was very puzzling. Twice we drove all the way down there [from Pennsylvania] and twice he couldn't talk about how our daughter died." Not puzzling at all. He couldn't think of a lie that would work.

Maybe before its too late he should talk, apologize, and do whatever he has to do to compensate her relatives. So far he’s been an ass, if he doesn’t do this he’ll die an ass. (he’ll die an ass anyway but that’s not the point of being an ass)

There’s still time for Kennedy to tell Mary Jo’s family what happen. I’ll bet he won’t.

Teddy must be getting one more day closer to taking that great dirtnap in hell.
The MSM is STILL trying to make into a man that he NEVER will be.
That day passed along time ago.

Thank goodness for this author!
For a while there I had almost forgotten who the real victim here was. I.E., Ted Kennedy.

"It was very puzzling. Twice we drove all the way down there [from Pennsylvania] and twice he couldn't talk about how our daughter died." Shades of George Costanza.
If they really wanted to get involved, they would have seen him run out of office sometime in the past 40 years. Bit late to try to make this his legacy now. He did too much damage to the American way.

40 years is just the beginning of the suffering this evil man is headed for. Hopefully sooner than later.

Makes ya wonder... I wonder if he killed her-
not just “let her drown”-
he certainly couldn’t actually admit to that...

And so he named his dog SPLASH in honor of Mary Jo.
This man is surely going to hell.
