Kennedy did not have the sense of decency to resign at the time of the Kopechne incident. Apparently the people of Massachusetts approved of his behavior as they returned him to the Senate in the 1970 election with 62% of the vote and have continued to send him to the Senate for 40 years.
Yes,
They met twice with the swimmer.
Had I been Mary Jo Kopechnes father I may have brought a hand gun to one of the meetings.
Ask a young person about this story, and they won’t know anything about it.
We need to educate young people in our families about Ted Kennedy.
It's too bad the Kopechne's never wrote a book about kennedy and their daughter's death.
Too true Dr. Scarpetta
Tell me something Doc,
Who has a better life, You or Spencer?
And I have no respect for anyone for MA who has ever voted for this POS.
Joe got his aircrew killed when the electronics officer said the aircraft was unsafe and refused to fly.
Although I don’t have direct, incontrovertible evidence of any of this, I think a man who dies in uniform while his country is at war, is due not a small amount of deference.
The Ted Kennedy aquarium is a must for this anniversary.

Ah, sometimes. Joe got the co-pilot killed too. This is a Kennedy trait, one that thinks them taking chances will A. work, and B. others killed is not their charge or responsibility.
My understanding that the electronics/weapons officer refused to fly that day, and that Joe, with no particular educational training or understanding of electrical theory, practice, equipment decided to fly never the less.
If that is true, Captain Kennedy ignored critical information on the most dangerous and risky element of his aircraft from the person best able to judge, which hard as a Kennedy finds that others are more knowledgeable.
Anyways, with out writing a book, it seems that Kennedy males are great risk takers when they don’t know what they are doing. Like Ted with immigration, health care, a sexual dalliance, flying aircraft or aircraft or boats in combat zones. Both, in my opinion, JFK and Joe got subordinates killed, unnecessarily, due to poor judgement. Not my kind of officer.
LOL...
Not to mention Nixon's trip to Romania.
Of course, there are those Libs in denial; and the Kennedy family; who like all good Leftists; forsake 'truth' for their own 'better cause'. In this case for the Kennedy's; sacrificed Mary Jo; for their name and the legacy it implies. . .
That said; IMHO the best online synopis/chronicling of this tragedy is here. Gripping with it's presentation of facts and testimony. . .

Within a few days of the Ceausescu meeting, the Democrat-controlled Senate, with the Vice President's possibly superfluous help, chose not to scrap (Phase I Safeguard?) missile defense. Interesting timing.
i wish rush would bring out his gurgling cod on this day...
also, remember the greatest Haole of them all, Jack Lord brudda!
Yep - a lousy $100K as I recall.
Which amount, as would have their acceptance of even a Hundred Million, made them also scum. Bought-off accessories after the fact of their daughter’s cold-watered killing.

Yes, they are also scum.
There is NO WAY IN HELL, that I’d sell out my daughter like that. I’d be looking for JUSTICE.
