Ted Kennedy: Lion or Jackal?

On April 6, Chappaquiddick, a movie detailing the events involving Senator Ted Kennedy on Martha's Vineyard in July 1969, will be released. That incident demonstrated the depths to which the Kennedys were willing to go to salvage the political career of the last of the Kennedy sons. In subsequent years, the actions of Ted Kennedy that night were forgiven by the Democrats, as were subsequent actions as noted below.

The movie is based on a book, Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Coverup, by Leo J. Damore, who committed suicide in 1995.

Well, that is the official version, at least. The Kennedy family exerted pressure to block the making and release of the current movie. Similar pressure was reportedly put on Mr. Damore, which may have added to the issues that resulted in his death.

In the history of politics in this nation, few families have equaled the Kennedys in both political power and despicability for their personal actions.

After being expelled from Harvard for cheating, he was allowed, as is the custom at Harvard, to return the next year. After all, he is a Kennedy.

Except your family had more scruples:

'A man who does not take care of his family cannot be a real man'

Never let anyone outside the family know what you're thinking.

Ted Kennedy: Lion or Jackal?

Neither. He was just an @sshole.

His single greatest accomplishment on this earth is that his mere existence exposed the U.S. government as a den of pr!cks who have no moral claim to any authority over the citizens of this country. Obedience to any laws passed by @ssholes like Ted Kennedy should be considered strictly optional.

He was a chicken, not a lion. He ran away from a crime scene, HIS crime scene and denied culpability.

He knew he lost his bid for the Presidency when he ran away.

How he remained a Senator for so many years is an issue that should be raised with the voters of Massachusetts...

Umm.... jackal!

I would also add petty, partisan, and back-stabbing. When President W Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act, the old Jackal of the Senate still trashed the Bushes in a signing ceremony speech, with W present.

And his Immigration Act of 1965 is proving to be the undoing of The Republic.
