on this day in 1969-

Post by nancie2k »

A car driven by Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) plunged off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard; passenger Mary Jo Kopechne died. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.
it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it :)

Had Edward been driving a Volks Wagon he would have been president in the 70's. Instead he got off with a hand slap and kept is seat in the U.S. Senate.

This coming from the guy who just whined in another thread about Iraq that we should stop arguing about "Bush and the past".

If only you had the half the concern for our troops overseas as you apparently do for Ms. Kopechne...

Get over it!

More likely...

He'd be making hefty child support payments.


The DA in New Bedford, Edmund Dinis, somehow ended up owning a large waterfront hotel on the Fairhaven side of the New Bedford-Fairhaven bridge a year after Teddy killed Mary Jo Kopechne. A DA position pays next to nothing. Nobody ever questioned where the cash came from. No autopsy. No criminal prosecution at all. Amazing corruption.

My point on Bush and the past was we are in it and stuck. Bush is gone in just over a year and someone else gets a turn, maybe one of your lovely Dems who do nothing.

The remark was part of a joke VW add from national lampoon, and the fact that one Eward Kennedy commited homicide and managed to stay out of jail while maintaining his seat in the senate. Some joke that is.

I thought your point was that Bush's stupidity has killed more innocent americans than Fat Teddy's.

and on this day in 1968 Lyndon Johnson and Vietnamese Pesident Thieu met in Honolulu to discuss how the USA was going to get out of Vietnam and what approach the USA would adopt in the upcoming nascent Paris Peace talks.

The masses are easily distracted. It amazes me how much hatred certain people have for the Kennedy family and how that hatred is harnessed so easily. This time around we can't afford to wait another 5 years watching American soldiers die waiting for another Henry Kissinger to come along.
