"Kennedy swam ashore but didn't report the accident until the next morning, later claiming he had been dazed by the crash."
He was drunk as sh*t, and anybody who doesn't realize this is a complete fool. This is one of the major political disgraces of my life time, maybe the worst I'll ever see. For all the conspiracy mongering about the Clintons, the Bushes, whoever, (just to be bi-partisan) this was out in the open for all to see, and still the dumb mick got away with it.
Where this girl's parents were I'll never know. I was 10 years old at the time and I could see through it. And the fat bastard has never had a shred of humility about it. Got involved with the drunken nephew's drunken rape escapade years later, wherein the nephew forced himself on a woman after a night of drinking on Good Friday, God help us! And the NY Times confirmed its descent into fish-wrap-hood by printing the woman's name in an article that was as slanted as any ever printed, including the ones where the Alien endorses the winner of the presidential contest. THAT shocked cynical New Yorkers from left to right and back again.
This man is a disgrace, to his family, to his THREE brothers who died in service to their country (regardless of what one thinks of their politics or policies), to his religion, and to his ethnic group of Irish Americans. A group of which I am a proud member and a group which, to a deplorably large extent, has been led astray by this unrepentent sinner.
To their everlasting shame they were paid off by the Kennedy's to refuse to allow an autopsy.
I have absolutely no respect for them. Never did. They shamelessly betrayed their daughter for thirty pieces of silver.
And Kennedy skated.
