Ted who?
>>Ted Kennedy Remembered on Day of Health Care Bill Signing,
Me too...I “remember” him as a drunk, traitor and a POS SCUMBAG.
Ted Kennedy (D-HELL) was remembered by me today in the same fashion as I always remember him...
Pants on the Ground,
Pants on the Ground,
drunken killer,
Pants on the Ground.
Who’s Ted?
We offer prayers for Mary Jo.
Do you mean Christopher Dodd and a Kennedy went to a resturant and sandwiched a waitress for Ted?
Wouldn’t the day prohibition ended be more appropriate? Or perhaps St Patty’s Day?
If there’s a more appropriate six-foot-under symbol for the end of freedom in the United States of America, I don’t know who it would be.
Kudos Teddy .. you’ve been alcohol free for 7 months now.
Maybe he could have used it for drawing pictures of murdered babies.
Mary Jo Kopechne
Birth: Jul. 26, 1940
Death: Jul. 19, 1969
Teacher and Administrator, she is most remembered for her controversial death in an automobile accident with Senator Edward Kennedy; the resulting political scandal caused Kennedy to reverse his decision to run for the US Presidency. Born in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, she was the only child of insurance salesman Joseph and Gwen Kopechne. After graduating from Caldwell College, New Jersey, she taught at Montgomery Catholic High School in Montgomery, Alabama, and then moved to Washington DC to work as a secretary for Florida Senator George Smathers. Shortly afterwards, she went to work as a secretary for New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy following his election in 1964. After Senator Robert F. Kennedy's death in 1968, she moved to Matt Reese Associates, a Washington DC firm that helped politicians establish campaign headquarters, and it was there she met Senator Edward Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's younger brother.
On the evening of July 18, 1969, she attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island, near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, in honor of the "Boiler Room Girls," a name given to the six young women who had helped the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy during his presidential campaign, and who had closed up his files after his assassination in June 1968. All six of the women were single, and the six men in attendance were all married but present without their wives, and the attendees gathered for a late night party at the Lawrence Cottage, rented by Joe Gargan for the occasion.
Late that evening (the exact time is in dispute), Kennedy offered to drive Kopechne back to her hotel at the Katama Shores Motor Inn in Edgartown, and later claimed that he mistakenly took a wrong, right turn onto Dyke Road, a dirt road leading to a beach about a mile down the road, instead of turning left onto the paved Chappaquiddick Road leading to the ferryboat which they would need to use to go to Kopechne's motel.
A half-mile down Dyke Road, Kennedy drove off the side of the Dyke Bridge, and the car overturned into Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out of the overturned car, but Kopechne failed to exit the car and died. Kopechne's body was recovered later that morning; the diver reporting that Kopechne had positioned herself near the back seat wheel well where an air pocket had formed, and had apparently suffocated rather than drowned. Her parents ruled out an autopsy, so the cause of death was never officially determined.
Senator Kennedy later pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, for which he received a two-month suspended sentence and one year probation. Kopechne's death and Kennedy's failure to properly deal with the accident, along with numerous discrepancies in his account of what happened, damaged his reputation and is regarded by many as the major reason that he decided to cancel his run for the presidency in 1972 and subsequent years.
Kopechne's funeral was held on July 22, 1969, at St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, and she was buried in the parish cemetery there.

Chappaquiddick:
"On Friday night July 18, 1969 around midnight a married man, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, was driving his oldsmobile on the island of Chappaquiddick with a single woman named Mary Jo Kopechne aboard when he, allegedly drunk, drove the car off a bridge and into a pond. He was leaving a party attended only by five married men and six unmarried women. Kennedy escaped the car and swam to shore. Mary Jo Kopechne was not quite so lucky. She died in the car, in the water.
Kennedy failed to even contact the police for a full nine hours, after he was told the car and body had been found.
The Kennedy family chartered a plane to immediately fly the victim's body to her hometown, Wilkes-Barre. No autopsy was conducted.

Ted "Water Dog" Kennedy...
Kennedy 'joked about Chappaquiddick'
Biographer reveals deadly incident was a 'favorite topic of humor'
August 28, 2009
"Edward Klein, speaking to WAMU guest host Katty Kay, said one of Kennedy's 'favorite topics of humor was, indeed, Chappaquiddick.'
"He would ask people, 'Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?' said Klein, a former Newsweek foreign editor and former editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine."

YouTube video: Kennedy liked to joke about Chappaquiddick?
"This isn't an accusation from Ted Kennedy's political opponents, but a nostalgic remembrance by one of his friends. Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor, tells the Diane Rehm Show:
"I don't know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? That is just the most amazing thing. It's not that he didn't feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."
What did they do to remind people that Teddy’s watching? Roast a pig on a spit in the basement?
Ded Kennedy (D-Hell)
Ted would be denied treatment if he was a normal citizen under Zer0care. His Quality-Adjusted Life Years score would bee too low for sch expensive treatment. Which brings up my question: If you can be denied treatment, what good is the insurance?
Tubby Kennedy: A model of great health.
Yesterday evening, while driving home from work, I heard on Lou Dobbs’ show, an audio of Patches Kennedy blubbering on about how great Obama was. It was pathetic.
Even from the grave he’s still trying to destroy this country.
What a sorry POS. Barack Hussein used that little boy whose poor mother died because the evil Republicans wouldn’t give her free gubmint healthcare. He stood right at the community organizer in chiefs side as he signed this bill. Eyes wide with anticipation. Not for national healthcare for he is too young to understand how much wool has been pulled over his little eyes. His eyes were wide waiting for the POS to give him one of those pens. Sorry kid you better get a job Barack gonna need to send you a tax bill.
