".....The Kennedys would never get away with anything close to the Chappaquiddick cover up in 2003...."

I have an image of Michael Skakel sitting in the pokey fixating to the point of obsession the fact that Teddy got away with murder while he [Skakel] was convicted years and years after the fact.

If you listen you can almost hear the obession. "They won't convict me, my uncle was Robert Kennedy. Teddy got away with murder, William Kennedy Smith got away with rape, Joe walked when the girl was paralyzed. And cousin what's-his-name got away with boppin' the babysitter. I'll walk.

WRONG!!!! Micael Skakel learned that it sucks to be the sacrifical Kennedy lamb. Someone had to be punised and Michael won the draw.

Ted the Magic Driver drove through the wood.
And with half a bag on, he did what he could
To get his little chicky down in the grass.
But the bridge was not too wide so Magic Teddy crashed.

Ted the Magic Driver stood there like a fool
While the young girl was drowning in the pool.
You know what would happen if this was done by you or me,
But you can do just what you want if you're a Kennedy.

(Don't remember the source.)

Just started reading this book. Very interesting. He's a freaking scumbag, but we all knew that already.

I wonder if junior was trying to off Carolyn when he crashed the plane off Nantucket. Just a thought. Oh, ya, JFK's kids are hallowed ground. I shouldn't talk about them like that. Ya.

Howie did a live broadcast from the party cottage on Chappy in 1994. I think it was the 25th anniversary of Mary-Jo's death.

WRKO was actually able to rent it and they laid out a nice clambake for the occasion. Howie had all kinds of guests on to recount the event from the remote setup in the living room of the house Teddy and Paul Markham rented for the boiler room girls. It remains in my mind as the best program he's ever done.

It's been years since I've been out there on Chappy but I believe it's still standing and may be available for rent.

Yes and that includes keeping "married into the family" Arnold from getting elected into ANY public office.

Criminals, are you sick and tired of having to go to jail or see your life ruined everytime you get caught committing a crime? Are you sick to death of getting put away everytime you kill someone, commit rape, or sexual assault? Have you spent more time in jail than out? Then why not join the Democratic party!! Become a professional political leftie!! Our members have a 100% success rate getting away with crimes no matter how serious they are! From insider trading, perjury, sexual assault, rape, and even homicide! Just name it! It literally doesn`t matter WHAT you do!!!

Read these success stories! Compare the benefits our members have to non-members!!!!!===>

"Joining the `Rats was the best thing that ever happened to me! I can`t recommend them enough!"-Sen. Ted Kennedy

"I should have joined when I had the chance!"

DON`T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! JOIN NOW!

A Texas jury yesterday sent a woman to 50 years behind bars for driving drunk and killing someone, leaving her victim to die in her car instead of getting help. In a similar story 35 years ago, a Senator and a life time member of our organization named Ted Kennedy was re-elected to the Senate and celebrated for doing exactly the same thing! He would still be in prison today if it wasn`t for our exclusive club! He even ran for President, and to this day is STILL a Senator despite being a raging alcoholic, distended liver and all!

Also yesterday in Louisiana, rap star Mystical pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion after being charged with aggravated rape for which he could have faced life. Sadly he still faces 10 years in prison. In a similar story, a well known member of our orginazation, "a certain person from Arkansas" did exactly the same thing! And he didn`t even get a parking ticket! Amazing! Matter of fact he was even rewarded by being elected President TWICE despite the protests of his victims on national TV!! Yes, it`s former President Bill Clinton who was sued by a woman for sexual battery and charged by another twice on national TV with rape, but instead he was elected President of the United States TWO TIMES just for being a life long member of our exclusive club and is now paid millions just to talk! Isn`t that incredible?

JOIN NOW, REAP THE BENEFITS AND THE CASH!! MAKE YOUR HOMEBOYS WHO ARE DOING HARD TIME MAD JEALOUS!!

More success stories......

1. NYC police officer and former marine Chuck Shwarz was sentenced to six years in prison for just conspiracy to commit perjury, and look at our Bill Clinton today for committing actual perjury! He`s a millionaire many times over and he never spent two seconds in jail!

2. Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Sam Waksal the list is endless, and soon now domestic diva Martha Stewart, all paid tremendous fines and did time in prison for insider trading. They had it all, they had everything, but what was the one thing they didn`t have when it came time to pay the piper?-something that could have made them even more money and even calls for them to run as president? That`s right! A political career in the Democratic party! Yes! Senator Hitlery Clinton of liberal New York did the same thing, instantly turning 1000 dollars into 100,000 dollars all from insider trading! And not only that, she also destroyed the careers of people who worked in the White house travel office by making up false charges of theft, something that would get anybody else a nice long vacation in prison! But look at her now! Recently she got 8 million dollars for her life story, got elected as a Senator, and pretty soon, even PRESIDENT! The benefits are endless!!

3.And last but not least, what happens when you`re mayor of our nations capital and you get caught smoking crack with a hooker in a motel? YOU GET RE-ELECTED!!!! Why?? BECAUSE YOUR A DEMOCRAT! Hey, it`s only CRACK, right?

"I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves. The Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the 1600's. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE A VIDEO GAME!!

JOIN NOW!

Subject: I think it's a natural instinct to save people - but then I'm a Democrat

Dear Representative Atkins,

You were recently quoted in the Boston Herald as making the subject "quip" concerning Governor Romney’s recent efforts to aid neighbors in distress.

I share your sentiments, though I myself am one of the few registered Republicans in your district. Could you explain to me where these instincts were for one prominent Massachusetts Democrat 34 summers ago? Considering the relative circumstances, one would think that Democrats – especially in this favored Commonwealth – would be extremely circumspect in commenting on the Romney family’s recent adventure.

P.S. For a thorough account of one Democrat’s natural regard for human life and respect for the fair sex, may I recommend http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0895265648/qid=1057746835/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-9565492-7853717?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

senator@kennedy.senate.gov worked when I sent the email in 51 on the 8th. You're right they must disable it every year around this time.

Howie Carr, Boston's great talk show host and columnist, plans to do his show live from the Chappy bridge next year to celebrate the 35th anniversary. I'm putting in for the day off now!!!

Four years ago he broadcast live from the "party house", the site where they held an "appreciation party" for some of the girls who worked in the campaign. The party was really kind of creepy, they invited about half a dozen young-twenty-ish women and four or five 35+ plus married guys including the distinguished Senior (at that time junior) senator. Booze, groping just so "Primary Colors" and it ends up with a blond in the pond.

Very cute, one nit:

Senator Hitlery Clinton of liberal New York did the same thing, instantly turning 1000 dollars into 100,000 dollars all from insider trading!

Actually, it wasn't insider trading, she was the bag lady collecting a bribe for her husband who was attorney-general of Arkansas at the time. Apparently Tyson Chicken was skirting environmental regulations, it was easier to pay off the authorities than to comply. They arranged to disguise the bribes by a series of shame cattle futures transactions. And the series of transactions are purported to have taken place over a year not instantly.

The pressure on the authorities investigating this tragedy was brought to bear in no uncertain terms.

One of my favorites was during the Justice Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. There was always background noise as several things were going on at the same time. Some Democrat had the incredibly stupid idea to let the Teddy, Captian of the SS. Oldsmobile speak. Teddy was going on about some inane Democrat point when he said "....if you believe that, i've got a bridge for you." Complete silence, you could have heard a pin drop. I think Senator Spector mercifully broke the silence for him.
