sure she was, hodar... you left early, kennedy got mixed up and went ranting on about Katrina again... found the clip for ya...
"What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out and those people who were impoverished died."
-- Ted Kennedy on Hurricane Katrina
"Ditto"
-- Mary Jo Kopechne
Gee, he couldn't have done something about that *disparity* himself, now could he? Kinda like putting your money where your mouth is. (and he's got plenty of both)
Worse, his comments have since been proven completely wrong since the majority of people who "remained" in New Orleans before, during and after Hurricane Katrina had cars and possibilities to leave but remained out of intentional choice. They CHOSE to remain, disagreed as to leaving, didn't want to, chose not to ...
Kennedy is lying out of convenience or he's completely out of his mind and saying anything he can. I think it's the latter.
