This a ridiculous, made-up story. The reason for Mrs. Alito's tears were obvious...her husband was pounded for days...and someone finally said something nice.
We women are like that...stoic when attacked...and then breaking down with kindness.
I think this article is disgraceful. Sorry...Mrs. Alito was NOT sitting there thinking of Mary Jo...she was thinking of her husband!!
You obviously are not familiar with small town social life - are you?
Is this the story? No, it was that she knew what kind of man Kennedy is.
Wow ...I agree that Mrs. Alito's tears were for the despicable pounding the Swimmer was giving her husband .. but you don't catch the brutal irony of the same creep asassinating her husband's honor and character possibly being the same monster whose spinelessness and selfish ego allowed the only daughter of family friends to drown?

The bold part of your post I agree with completely.
But I do find this article of interest, in that there is a connection between the woman Ted Kennedy murdered and the Alito family. No way, IMO, was it the reason for Mrs. Alito's tears....
What I wonder..........does Teddy know about it? Could it be, in part, why he was so savage and brutal to this fine man?
(I know, I know, he's a despicable creep, but he was particularly awful at these hearings........)
