Recalling Mary Jo Kopechne

Times Leader (Wilkes Barre PA) ^ | 7/22/09 | Bill O’Boyle

[Da Coyote]

I can only hope that there is an afterlife, and that there is a very, very special place waiting for this worthless piece of flesh.

(Yup, I know he could be forgiven, but given that he’s a Kennedy, he probably thinks he can pay off God too. Heck, it worked for the Massachusetts authorities.)

[dblshot]

A health care bill named for a guy who wouldn’t help a woman live is the ultimate insult.

[Bobalu]

[Le Chien Rouge]

Epitaph:

Ted Fled and left Mary Jo for Dead.

[Erik Latranyi]

Kennedy’s behavior led to Mary Jo’s death.

Kennedy’s healthcare will lead to even more deaths.

[Lion Den Dan]

I wonder if Mary Jo was still a leftist when she died?

[animal172]

If that sorry piece of trash does make it upstairs, he’ll come face to face with her.

[Maceman]

This is a publicity still from what is undoubtedly NOT Ted Kennedy's favorite movie -- Ghost Story (1981) starring Fred Astaire, John Housman and Don Ameche.

[Just A Nobody]

And for what it’s worth, Kennedy still carries the island by a landslide whenever he runs. They don’t seem to hold the incident against him.”

Sick worthless bass-turds all!

[BallyBill]

If she were alive today she would comfort Teddy Kennedy in his dementia.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

In 1979, Ted ran against a sitting Democrat president for the DNC presidential nomination. He was in Iowa, meeting with a group of farmers at a grain elevator. "How's the service out here on the Wabash ?" Kennedy asked the crowd, suggesting he'd hold hearings and call up railroad executives to find the answer.
This brought puzzled looks from the Iowegians; the Wabash's last run through Iowa was in the 1920s...

[Grampa Dave]

America and the world would be a better place if Mary Jo was still alive, and TK was still in the back of his submerged Olds.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Kopechne, 28, drowned

Assumes facts not in evidence. There's more compelling evidence that Kopechne suffocated instead of drowned.

[garyhope]

It's sad, astounding, depressing and discouraging that the left and the Dims have such a pernicious hold and influence on the media of this country that the Dims can literally get away with rape and murder with no consequences.

What is Hussein Obama getting away with? Is he really an American?

Is there a nuclear 9/11 coming under his watch?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Very fitting....

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Assumes facts not in evidence. There’s more compelling evidence that Kopechne suffocated instead of drowned”

I was 15 and nearby when this happened.

An MIT scientist reported that she suffocated. He also proved that it was low tide. Kennedy stated it was near high tide.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I wonder if Mary Jo was still a leftist when she died?

A lot of people were "leftists" back then. The Civil Rights movement energized people and the specter of nuclear war frightened more. When she was a teenager she would have seen pictures of "Whites Only" drinking fountains in Life Magazine. Most people believed that war with Russia was inevitable and would be nuclear. We were losing over 200 men a week in Vietnam in a war for with no clear objectives nor hope of victory.

It was barely 20 years since Jackie Robinson and the integration of the Armed Forces. Poverty in those days was palable. The "poor" didn't have cell phones and weren't morbidly obese and didn't wear designer jeans.

A lot of idealist people of her generation got involved in Democratic Party politics before the Democratic Party, the Party of Truman, after all, turned into the rancid anti-American, Luddite, race baiting monstrosity it is today.

[Islander7]

...and Kennedy is still a senator from Massachusetts. Says a lot about the mentality of those voters.

[yarddog]

Sounds like she was a nice girl who probably swallowed the liberal line hook line and sinker.

She was seduced by the left and by a Kennedy.
