One thing is for sure. The mainstream media has given Ted Kennedy a pass during his adult life simply because his two brothers were killed. He's been able to be a drunk, an idiot and just plain nasty without any questions being asked.

As far as Mary Jo? He left her. He left her to die.

I'll give you the reasons why Teddy has not seen the inside of cell. In no particular order:

1. Daddy's Money - when you have enough cash to buy every politician, police chief, state trooper, etc. in Massachusettes, you'd be surprised what you can get away with. Notice Ethel's Cousin Mikey in Connecticut didn't get away with it because they're merely the "poor relations".

2. The Sainted Memory of JFK - having a brother who was a mediocre (at best) President hyped up into an Olympian god is quite an advantage: the press (and the legions of braindead who actually believe JFK "accomplished" something)will let anyone associated with the ghost of JFK skate on anything. Add a second liberal icon brother with a gaping head wound and you're golden.

And therein lies the secret of Teddy's success: Daddy's money and connections, JFK and RFK's murders. Then Teddy finally grew up and learned to manipulate the power invested in him on his own. He is unassailable, except by intelligent and moral people, the very types that are in such short supply in Washington and in much of the country, and especially, the press.

"Did he or did he not kill a woman at Chappaquiddic" Ann Coulter

A fun thread from last night about this topic. Admiral Ted actually had a defender.

I didn't watch the whole show, but was cruising the channels and when I saw Coulter, I had to stop. Talk about perfect timing, Colmes gave her an opening and she took it. She said it and said it again, was smiling big time and obviously pleased with having upset Alan. Reagan's huge grin said how he felt about the comment. Sean was really quiet. Thank you Ann, it's about time somebody had the guts to stand up in public and say what we all know. I hope somebody can post a clip.

Fat Teddy got a pass because his last name was spelled K-E-N-N-E-D-Y.
