Very sad for the Kopechne family. She'd be in the flower of her grandma years today.
In the years to come, we saw a Republican president booted for a minor break-in, a Senate leader resign because of remarks at a birthday party, a patriotic soldier (Colonel North) attacked for trying to free hostages and arm freedom fighters, a black conservative publicly lynched because of his views...but never again a public airing of the manslaughter/murder of an innocent girl by the senior Senator from Massachusetts.
Correction. She was murdered 40 years ago by a drunk driver that would have been charged, convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. That is unless he is a millionaire.
And her killer is still voting our freedom away..Justice would be that Fat Teddy would die on the same day that Mary Joe was murdered..
Wonder if Teddy will have a drink in her honor today.
He does have brain cancer.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if he died the same day, the same hour.
Not that I’m wishing for it. Just thinking how ironic that would
be and how all the news would spin it.
Actually, it’s the 19th, not “today”.
Anyway, do you think the proximity to the moon landing (just prior to it) may have helped quell any attention this story got?
Just as has happened hundreds of times, 1 “big story” becomes a non-story when something else “big” eclipses it.
The people of Massachusetts would re-elect a Kennedy even if he were to commit murder.
Wait, they already did.
Actually it probably should have been manslaughter but murder sounds better.
Teddy Kennedy is a disgrace of a human life. I wonder if God will be as merciful in judging him as he was in murdering Mary Jo.
Very sad for the Kopechne family. She'd be in the flower of her grandma years today.
All water under the bridge
I haven’t forgotten and I intend to not let anyone else forget.
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!
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.
They made a movie about Ted Kennedy’s liver called “Hard to Kill”.
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!?!
BTTT from a DROPOUT of “The Kennedy School of Driving and Diving”....
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.
