Kennedy was one sick jerk but who is even more disgusting is Ed Klein, former foreign editor of Newsweek and former editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine who saw joking about the murder of Mary Jo as a positive. What world do these people live on?

Q: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted's Career? (revulsion alert) (Huffington Post quote via National Review online)

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.
