Amen. It's like the elephant in the room that everyone's ignoring.After drunKennedy's "performance" in the hearings,all bets should be off. The hypocrisy of him to try to make an issue of Alito's membership decades ago in a college club,when Kennedy was even then a dues-paying member of a me's-only club.Not that "I" have a problem with that-drunKennedy was the one who wanted to make it an issue.Why do Republicans let him get away with the most scurrilous attacks,no holds barred,on conservative figures,and give him a pass on Mary Jo Kopechne?

[Emmett McCarthy]

The inescapable fact that he killed a girl should be brought up every time he opens his mouth, especially on the floor of the Senate.

Was it any wonder why his wife Joan became an alcoholic?

Swimmer Ted is a poster boy for everything wrong with the democratic party.

" It's time to say the name "Mary Jo Kopechne" out loud."

After 35 years?

The GOP wouldn't even touch the overwhelming evidence in rape case(s) against Bubba...

Politics 101: The elites protect the elites no matter what.

[manwiththehands]

Repeal the 17 Amendment. Now.

I doubt state lawmakers in Massachusetts would have let this guy in the Senate, let alone stay.

Ted Kennedy's Driving Record - List of Traffic Offenses
- Ted Kennedy had a record of serious traffic violations. Their nature formed a pattern of deliberate and repeated negligent operation. Particularly bothersome was a June, 1958 conviction for "reckless driving."

- On March 14, 1958, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Whitten had been on routine highway patrol outside Charlottesville, Virginia, when an Oldsmobile convertible ran a red light, sped off, then cut its tail lights to elude pursuit. A license check revealed the car belonged to Edward M. Kennedy, a 26-year-old law student attending the University of Virginia. Kennedy had previously been fined $15 for speeding in March 1957.
- Whitten was on patrol at the same intersection a week later, he testified, "And here comes the same car. And to my surprise, he did exactly the same thing. He raced through the same red light, cut his lights when he got to the corner and made the right turn." Whitten gave chase. He found the car in a driveway, apparently unoccupied. Looking inside, he discovered the driver, Teddy Kennedy, stretched out on the front seat and hiding. Whitten issued a ticket for "reckless driving; racing with an officer to avoid arrest; and operating a motor vehicle without an operator's license (Mass. registration.)"
- Kennedy's attorneys were able to win numerous postponements, but eventually he was convicted on all charges and paid a $35 fine. Court officials never filed the mandatory notice of the case in the public docket, however, and Kennedy's name had not appeared on any arrest blotter. Instead, a local reporter discovered the case when he spotted 5 warrants in Kennedy's name in a court cash drawer.

- Three weeks after his trial, Ted Kennedy was caught speeding again, and still operating without a valid license.

- In December 1959, Kennedy was stopped again for running a red light and fined $10 and costs. In Whitten's view, "That boy had a heavy foot and a mental block against the color red. He was a careless, reckless driver who didn't seem to have any regard for speed limits or traffic ordinances."

- The offenses in Virginia had occurred on Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts driver's license, but mysteriously neither the Registry of Motor Vehicles nor the office of probation in Cambridge had any record of the out-of-state convictions. Had it been revealed at the inquest, the Senator's history of negligence and reckless driving would have been further evidence to support a charge of manslaughter in the Chappaquiddick accident.

~ Senatorial Privilege by Leo Damore
- Senator Kennedy's driver's license had expired on February 22, 1969 (nearly 5 months before the accident at Chappaquiddick) and had not been renewed.
- Although driving with an expired license was only a misdemeanor, it did provide the evidence of negligence needed to prove a manslaughter charge in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
- The license problem was "fixed" by officials at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, under the direction of Registrar Richard McLaughlin, before the legal proceedings began.

How that blowhard gasbag can sleep at night is beyond me, no matter how much he drinks to cloud his memory.

Putting this idiot out front nearly guarantees that a judge will get in anymore. Remember the Clarence Thomas hearings. CNBC was buzzing with phone calls wondering why this immoral windbag was given the opportunity to question ANYONE about morals. Now the Owl Club issue arises. I think the Pubs should put Kennedy on the front stage whenever they want to pass something the liberals won't like. The more this pig rants against something the more likely it is that the Pubs will get what they want. Massachusetts may love Kennedy but the rest of the nation doesn't.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

A bump for putting Kennedy on trial in the Judiciary Committee...

[muir_redwoods]

Check out my tagline. I truly believe that, if Tookie Williams can generate some groundswell of noise to get his sentence reduced we ought to be able to get Sirhan Sirhan released from prison. Name another California inmate still serving time after 38 years for his first offense.

Granted, it might be difficult for his victim's nephew-in-law, Arnie to authorize the release but if we got the movement started it would be a wonderful way of putting it to the fat larda$$ from Massachusetts.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I would SOOOO LOVE to see one of the cable networks do a documentary on Chappaquiddick. How many investigative stories have we seen about JFK's death. Every angle has been disected - conspiracy or not a conspiracy? It is time for Mary Jo to have her hour in the limelight.

We internet folks have busted out way beyond the MSM.

It's time for a new book on Ted. Guaranteed best seller.
