The country would have been much better off if he had been tried and executed years ago!

Teddy had "no control" over the Chappaquiddick "tragedy"? He had enough control over leaving the party with Mary Jo Kopeckne, to drive off into the water, to save himself, and leave her to drown.
He had enough control over all of that to be prosecuted for and convicted of manslaughter. But he was never charged, because he was, of course, a Kennedy. I call BS on Schieffer and his network.

Exactly .... WTF is going through Brainless Bob's skull?
Not only is Fat Drunk Ted not a hero of any sort, he's a classic coward.

When you support the demonrat line (esp. on baby killing) every negative is forgiven and every neutral or slightly positive aspect of your life is magnified. And, they believe it's a simple price to pay for the adulation.
The fools...

Leaving a girl to die in his car and then hiding and trying to cvover it up is a imperfection. WOW I guess I must be a superhero.
To: pissant
What an idiot statement, they really thing people are this gullible. A “classic American hero” would have kept diving until she was recovered, would have never given up and would have died trying.

As opposed to say ... Audie Murphy, Chesty Puller, Grant, Washington, Lee, Stockdale ....Bush, Dole, McCain... As much as despise the guy, even Kerry took a splinter to his a$$ while allegedly under fire in a war zone, which is more than we can say about TK.
To me, a hero is a person who risks his own life in order to aid another person or in some cases, property. TK was anything but a hero.

You know, Scieffer was right.
Ted Kennedy was *WAY* ahead of his time: for instance, he pioneered waterboarding.
Cheers!

Sorry, Teddy was no hero. A good lefist politician yes, hero and god, no. He was a weak and flawed man—lets hope he made peace with God before he was called home. I hope he had a good speech to give to Mary Jo. But, I believe they didn’t end up in the same place. The good thing, when he went I think he can have all the Cigars he wants.

Steyn made a fine observation the other day by comparing Profumo to Kennedy, and informing us that Profumo never acted again as a public official after his much less disgraceful turn in scandal. Kennedy, on the other hand, cravenly abandoned a woman to die, and then spent the next four decades, according to Ed Klein, collecting jokes about it.
Kennedy lived a life of luxurious wealth and privilege, never atoning in the slightest for Kopechne's demise, a William Zanzinger to the end. Even as an old man he was known to parade drunk in his boxers in front of young women his nephews dragged back to the Palm Beach mansion for sex.
Profumo spent his trailing years in soup kitchens serving the poor with his own sweat and keeping his nose clean.
Who was the greater man? The answer is obvious.
