I have an interesting tidbit of information to share.
My old college roommate's mother is friends with Judge Alito's mother. They go to the same church in Roseland, New Jersey.
Well, the judge's mother shared something with her that hasn't been in the papers and may bring a different perspective to those tears Alito's wife shed in the hearing.
It seems Judge Alito's wife (the former Martha-Ann Bomgardner) has had personal reasons to dislike Senator Kennedy since long before Splash's shameful treatment of her husband.
Long ago, the Senator was also less than kind to girl whose family was friends with the Bombgardner family. A girl that Martha-Ann knew fairly well before her untimely demise.
A girl named Mary Jo Kopechne.
But not beyond believe!
Are you sure your cousins sister friends xboyfriend roomates siter that never asks you to forawrd emails to everyone on your list---didn't read it on this blog:
http://publiceyeblog.com/index.php/2006/01/alitos-wife-leaves-hearing-room-in-tears-comforted-by-gwen-kopechne/
or this blog:
http://pyjamasmedia.com/blog/?p=215
Where both claim to quote (and link to ) a washington Post article mentions kopechne but then when you clickon either blogs washington post link the kopechne paragraph isn't there.
I really have no details other than what I posted. But my friend is absolutely truthfully relaying to me what his mother said Judge Alito's mother told her.
It's a pretty short chain for a rumor (two people I've known for about twenty years) from the judge's mother.
If "Splash" is the name of Teddy's dog, what are the names of his cats? "Glub, glub" and " Help, Teddy I'm drowning"?
Those who live in glass Oldsmobiles shouldn't throw stones
WOW! Another FreeRepublic scoop!
Holy smokes.
If it does make it ti the MSM, it will SINK Kennedy this time!

Kennedy is SUNK ...... this time!
I posted exactly how the rumor came to me. I can't do any better than that.
I trust my old college roommate 100%. I've never known anybody who is more above board and reliable than he is. And his mother has always seem very well grounded and intelligent to me.
I don't know the judge's mother, but she's the only other person in the rumor's history. Maybe she made it up. I don't know.
Alito ........................... ping

There's another claim, but not with the personal relationship claimed here.
"If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age." - Charles Pierce, Jan. 2003
If True, it's hugh.
Maybe Justice Alito can find some reason Teddy has to appear in court.
Your word is good in my book.
Dead, there are only a handful of FReepers I would believe about this piece of information. You are one, and the information is both eerie and chilling. Thanks for posting it.
OK, who's going to call Mrs. Bomgardner for fact checking?
