Mary Jo Kopechne died 40 years ago today
Cape Cod Today ^ | 07/18/09 | Mary Wentworth

Posted on 07/18/2009 7:51:36 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Just past midnight on Saturday, July 19, 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy drove his black Oldsmobile sedan off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard, just off Cape Cod. The Senator escaped a watery death, but a passenger in his car, twenty-eight-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not.

The people of Massachusetts?

Oh, you mean Mass-holes.

Teddy will explain his crimes when he meets with the God who’s laws he and the rest of his family have flaunted for so many years.

Good luck with that one, Theodore.

Well this man is part and parcel of what America seems to worship: whoremongers, drunks, druggies, killers etc. etc.

.. and her killer is now trying to kill the rest of us via this healthcare debacle! We all might as well just jump in Uncle Ted’s convertible and let him kill us all now. It will save us from the pain and frustration of the future of socialized healthcare!

Would it be appropriate to send a “Happy 40th Anniversary” card to Ted?

we saw a Republican president booted for a minor break-in

Nixon got booted, rightfully so, for the coverup, his arrogance and stupidity, not the burglary.

a patriotic soldier(sic) (Colonel(sic) North)

North was a Marine Lieutenant Colonel and had that POS Jim Webb done his job and exposed the felony that North committed in submitting his fraudulent application to work in the White House, Iran-Contra most likely wouldn't have happened.

As is almost always the case, the coverup is worse than the original crime.

simply amazing..

The press and the dems demand conservatives step down when they cheat on their wives, which is certainly wrong. But when one of their icons actually kills a woman, and runs and hides for a day, he stays a senator for the rest of his life. then he announces he has brain tumors and they all whine and blubber on camera about what a great fella he is..

meanwhile this woman lost 40 years of living.

Fat Lying Drunken Ted will get his. It's getting closer everyday. . . . .
The bootleg money won't do him any good where he is going. . . . . . .

They made a movie about Ted Kennedy’s liver called “Hard to Kill”.

And for 40 years, Ted has gotten away with her death.

He'll get his.

If not in this life, then the next.

Is anyone ready for the next step for Dems when Obamacare rushes the country into passing this bill before it’s hero/founder Ted Kennedy dies? How many of these kids who voted for Obama have even heard of this scandal? Don’t the gop’ers need to retaliate? I guess it’s politically incorrect to expose such an important figure in our government!?!

“What a piece of fiction. That collar doesn’t do a damn thing unless you have a serious neck injury.”

My wife was just allowed to remove a cervical collar made necessary due to an accident. She suffered a broken vertebra. There is no amount of pain too bad for Kennedy! He deserves all he gets.

Teddy - or Bloato Boozo - will have a drink today, tomorrow, any day, in anyone’s or anything’s honor.

“Wouldn’t it be ironic if he died the same day, the same hour.”

I don't care about irony. He should just die!

Harsh, yes but he is a despicable piece of detritus.

Make way, drunk yachter coming through:

He's too drunk to negotiate the cones and yellow tape. I'll bet it looked pretty funny seeing them dragging behind his car on the way back to the beach house.

A Republican who did the same thing would be still in prison. This creep was never punished for his actions.

Isn't it ironic to name 0bamaCare in honor of the murderer of Mary Jo

Where the undesirables no matter their age will be murdered

“Wonder if Teddy will have a drink in her honor today.”

Probably a “Bloody Mary Jo”/s;)
