I must of missed something, When did he goto the police?
My point above was that it was his lawyer that told him to call he didn’t call on his own free will (this is an assumption of mine since he didn’t call the police first he called his lawyer first. Any good lawyer would of told him to call the police right away.)
According to Kennedy’s OWN testimony she was alive after the accident ("Well, I remembered the vehicle itself just beginning to go off the Dike Bridge and the next thing I recall is the movement of Mary Jo next to me, the struggling, perhaps hitting or kicking me and I, at the time, opened my eyes and realized I was upside-down, that water was crashing in..." – Ted Kennedy.)
In your defense from the rest of the Freepers. I will agree with you that this issue as far as politics goes, this issue is a dead issue. People have already made up their mind about Ted Kennedy. We can bring this up until we are blue in the face but it doesn’t help us politically.
But personally I believe people should be reminded at least once in a while of the crime he got away with. It is the right thing to do, if for nothing else for Mary Jo.
Yes. That is a big part of what I am saying.
But I think it can actually go beyond that and hurt us politically.
I mean if somebody like me, who despises Ted Kennedy and his politics is shocked and offended by those on the right who constantly bring up Chappaquiddic...what about those in the middle?
I think this reinforces the stereo-type of conservatives as mean-spirited, self-righteous and totally lacking in grace.
We don't need this.
But personally I believe people should be reminded at least once in a while of the crime he got away with. It is the right thing to do, if for nothing else for Mary Jo.
That's fine. And I agree with you.
But I don't want to hear about it everytime his name comes up. To the point his nickname is "the swimmer" and there are cruel jokes about Chappaquidic, that aren't really funny.
That offends me.
