Subject: Mary Jo Kopechne
Hello My name is Mary Jo Kopechne.
I would have been 65 years of age this year.
Read about me and my killer below.
When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past.
But now that he's become Sen. John Kerry's leading campaign attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over.
It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why Sen. Kerry's chief spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 - time to say the words Mary Jo Kopechne out loud.
As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that most Americans already know the story of how this "Conscience of the Democratic Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker. But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.
Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.
Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final. Or why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.
As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.
It's time for Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House. And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.
The Democratic Party, not to mention Sen. John Kerry, should be ashamed to have the national disgrace from Massachusetts as their spokesman. And the GOP needs to say so out loud. I remember all of this and I'm sure most of you do, too.

The most revolting analysis is years!
my only solace for such injustices,is i know in the end God wins
That was always the rumor -- and likely true, IMO. I don't think there was ever any official confirmation.
Ted Kennedy's even got a dog that he named "Splash".It's a Portuguese Water Terrier.Too bad the dog wasn't around 35 years ago.Maybe it could of rescued Mary Jo.
Wow. Great job on that one, Phil !
This is WORTH repeating!:

TED KENNEDY, OXYGEN THIEFTed Kennedy: "On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked, 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?
"Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management."
What sort of dysfunctional moral compass must one have to make such a comparison?
Kennedy should resign his Senate seat. He is a disgrace. I can't imagine the people that continue to vote for this piece of trash.
Reposting my comments from above thread:
While the media is working against the Bush administration, I think I agree that these Monsters would have done this anyway and ARE using that as an excuse.
Excerpt from them to Senator Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd and other anti-American U.S. Senators, from an email intercepted yesterday:
"Please keep up the great work in helping our cause, you fine people. Please make sure word gets out that this was in retaliation for the Iraqi Prisoner Abuse. This would be especially helpful in your next TV appearance before whatever investigation of the Bush Administration is coming up down the road. It is great to have folks over there that are on OUR side. You make us happy. Thank you ....."*
*above red text is FICTIONAL, btw.
"George W. Bush’s Vietnam" ... quagmire ... "Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management" ... Bush bad ... Democrats good ... blah, blah, blah ! ....
Thanks

Are you lying to us? :~)Oh, I HOPE not ! LOL !!! :^D
And, actually - even though I'm a Baby Boomer and not a GenX'er - I don't recall the Harvard and Army rejection stories before either. I'm not saying they're NOT true, just that I haven't heard them before.
I would assume (HOPE) that the content in the post is accurate so we don't end up with egg on our face later on down the road.
I suppose a Google Search would be in order before we do any Parody Pics based on such a thing, right ? (Recalling a certain Kerry/Fonda Parody Pic Flap a while back!) :^)

In spite of this, the worthless scum of Boston keep re electing this Kennedy, the killer and his buddy al Kerry, the Viet Nam war criminal.
Good!! I'm so glad to hear that, 'cuz so many don't seem to know THE TRUTH about what was really promoted during Nam and the after-math.....and spread your awareness around to others who DON'T know and are caught up in the thinking that Kerry & Co. offers ANYTHING positive for our country!!
one solution to guilt for abortion is to drown the mother under accidental circumstances.

Yep. For the record, I knew the 911 system was probably not in effect then. I used it as shorthand for "call to emergency services" so I could get right to the point. Obviously this person was uninterested in the point, or any point.
Maybe I am still naive at age fifty-one, but I find it shocking that the death of a young woman could be used for cynical word play. The compassion crowd never fails to amaze with their meanness. If you want someone who cares about others, turn to a hard-hearted conservative.
