Arguing against this of course is that the gob of lard and goo is a total lush, a wino who had probably had enough booze that night to float a battleship. If he was able to get it up I would be surprised. He couldn't get it up for his lush bimbo wife Joan, why Kopechne????
My guess is he and Mary Jo had been getting it on for months, that's why they ended up together that night. The cover story about Ted, the knight in shining armor, offering to drive her back is total crap. Pregnant?? Well, the coroner covered everything else up, why not a fetus???
End of story. America ended up with a lunatic, obese, drunken sot in the Senate. By my estimation, he was right at home..................!
