For the life of me I don't know why everyone in Massachusetts turns a blind eye to this killer and treats him like a god.

Two words "Big Dig"

Ted: What's the verdict?
Diver: The engine's flooded.
Ted: %@&^%$!! I know that. What about my 8-tracks?
Diver: Hey, there's a girl in the back?
Ted: Focus, son, focus. What about my Alice Cooper tapes?
Diver: I think she's dead
Ted: Well, hit her with that pipe then and make sure.

I remember how the media respected President Richard Nixon's privacy. Right!

Some politicians are protected while others are not. It is the perogative of the press, and it is obvious which way that cookie crumbles.

Apparently, they like them. It's crazy, I know; but they do for some strange reason. I am not sure the people who voted for these two really thought it through.

For the life of me, I simply do not understand why so many folks on this thread seem to have discomfort with the character of this extraordinary man.

Over these many years, Senator Kennedy has consistently reflected uniquely sound judgment, superb character traits, and consistently has epitomized a superlative example of Public Service.

Well Done, Senator. And, may you rot in hell!

Camelot immunity.

Puuuhhh-Leeeeeezzzzzze....."Camelot" was only for like--3 years and that automatically makes EVERY member of the Kennedy Fmaily an instant Hero or Role Model???

Not from Taxachusetts, but most of the ones who could leave...have gone.

They had 16 Congressional Seats in the 1920's, now down to ten, and soon to lose one or two more in the next census.

Their votes for President have seen the same decline.

Unfortunately many of the DUmmies went to New Hampshire...

Taxachusetts is left with an increasing mass of lazy beggars who will not work ...

With all their nice benefits, Taxachusetts is now an International magnet.

Kennedy had urged her to get an abortion but she declined

This would be a shocker if true, and it seems believable to me. No wonder he wants to keep abortion legal. So many womens rights groups scream about a woman's right to choose, they ignore the possibility that many young girls may be pressured into an abortion against their will. It really should be called a "man's right to avoid responsibility. Please don't flame me, I am not slamming all men, just women who say it is all about a woman's right to choose when they make no effort to protect a woman's right to choose to have the baby.

There are a few million sensible people in MA who've never voted for any Kennedy, including Fatso.

I am told that the Orca has been receiving many donations in his pre-paid campaign solicitation on 1 or 2 cents in the name of Mary Jo. Costs 'em 39 cents to receive 2. And reminds the staff workers of the character of the man they support.

I hope it's true.

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

Alice Cooper votes Republican. Please don't like him to Ted Kennedy.
