Q: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted’s Career? [Mark Hemingway]

HuffPo answers:

We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don’t know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

Still, ignorance doesn’t preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn’t automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.

Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.

he was a member of a silver spoon elite..he never worked an honest day in his life....he cheated at his law exam....he killed a young woman in the prime of her life and still jokes about it like it happened to "him"...he became a bloated slob of a man, forcing the little people to follow his proclamations while he and his elite can live like aristocrats....

goodbye Kennedy.....your life all in all has been a disgrace....
