We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.
Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.
Who knows — maybe she'd feel it was worth it.
Her son would be 38 this year.
Pray for America
As I recall, didn’t the Kopechne parents speak up for and endorse EMK? Maybe there was liberal coercion to do so.
I’m pretty sure her last thought on Kennedy wasn’t very pleasant...
Well, knowing that Teddy walked past a house and a fire station on the way to his hotel after abandoning... and then turned in for the night... I'm guessing not much...
“Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.”
If there were any doubts that the left wing is insane, this should remove them.
Unbelievable.
I thought we already had a Messiah.
What a sick bastard, but then...all libs are.
I’ll piss on his grave. Ted Kennedy was a narcissistic, self centered, perverted, grade A, BASTARD. He thought nothing of sexually assaulting women any time he felt like it because he knew that he had enough money and power to financially, literally, and figuratively destroy anyone who spoke up. His whole career was made by using the power of government to steal from the working people and give the the lazy bastards.
May he rot in hell for the rest of eternity, that sorry excuse for an oxygen wasting human being.
“What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted’s Career?”
That he was all wet?
Just thank God you cannot hear his screams.
This, in a nutshell, should scare any decent American. I’ve read alot of insane things these past several months, but this takes the cake.
“I thought we already had a Messiah.
Well they have already changed it from Obamacare(which don’t sell anymore) to Kennedycare. I’ll give the libs this. In the egregious use of speaking for the dead in order to shove universal healthcare down our throats, they have a right to intone Teddy K.
“This, in a nutshell, should scare any decent American”
I wish I could respond with a nasty comment on Huff Po but I was banned for life after my first post over there. And I didn’t even swear.
Damn, can’t beat that personal best.
“We are more like Saddam and Gomorrah”
Sodom and Gomorrah.
I’m close, already.
Thanks. I am the worst speller in the world.
Right. And Nichole Simpson maybe felt it was worth it for her to be murdered if it made OJ feel better.
If he wants to get inside Mary Jo’s head, let him first imagine what the last 15 or 20 minutes of her life were like, in total darkness, struggling to get a breath and find a way out of that car, struggling to not breath in the water...
Then you're a better man than I.
I'd piss on his grave proudly.
Her death kept him from becoming President.
So I’d say it was worth it.
Kennedy was also behind some of the most odious immigration legislation this nation has passed. He was behind the passage of the act in 1965 that forbade “racism” in immigration, meaning the USA couldn’t favor Europeans over non-whites; family relationship became a primary factor. Kennedy claimed it would only lead to a few thousand from other countries including the third world.
Ahem ... within 20 years it led to millions of third-worlders coming to America and staying. Those that were illegal, then Ted pushed and had passed the amnesty laws.
Rationalization is one of their most developed skills...
Don’t feel bad:
“It is a damn poor mind indeed which can’t think of at least two ways to spell any word.”

Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.
Right. And Nichole Simpson maybe felt it was worth it for her to be murdered if it made OJ feel better.
Well OJ will go onto bigger and better things. I’ve heard that certain local golf playin legistlators want him to run for local office on his way up. Forget “Yes we can”. The next motto is “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”. If Marion Barry can do it and a one term Saul Aulnsky senator accolyte can do it, then gosh darnnit OJ can do it. We’ll forget OJ’s legal difficulties, just like Marions. OJ will go far.
No. Never.
The “Swimmer” left Mary Jo to die. It may have taken her 1-3 hours to die. There was a small air pocket in the car.Mary Jo died a HORRIBLE death! The “Swimmer” should have been prosecuted for 2nd degree murder and should be inprisoned for several years. That would ruined his senate career.Teddy is an abysmal, loud mouth, obscenely obese, alcoholic DIRT BALL!
[Still, ignorance doesn’t preclude a right to wonder.]
True. But it should at least make one cautious before exercising the right to expose that ignorance with public statement.
Ignorance doesn't preclude an outrageously offensive editorial in the Huffington Post, either.
I sent an Email to Fox News when I heard that Kennedy was dead. I pointed out that I would not be watching much TV for a while because I knew that there would be nothing but stories about him. I was crude and insensitive enough to mention that I would not be mourning Kennedy.
I also closed by saying that he might finally have to answer for Mary Jo. O’Reilly and some of the other Fox talking heads have been condemning those of us who said unkind things about Kennedy.
I have always been disgusted by the tendency of people to immediately transform someone who dies into a fictitious character with positive attributes they never exhibited during their lives. I think Ted Kennedy was a leftist maggot. I spit on his memory and I don’t care who finds that insensitive.
Here is a portion of the BBC radio broadcast devoted to the life of former Senator Ted Kennedy. The speaker is author Ed Klein who as an insider has written a few books about the Kennedy family.
Here is the quote:
“He [Ted Kennedy] would be the last person...to want us...to be morose...He would probably have a joke to tell...I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquidick itself and he would ask people ‘Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquidick?’”........Ed Klein
Go to minute 30.00. At 30.25 he says it. Author Ed Klein ( Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died ) says that Senator Kennedy’s favorite joke subject was Mary Jo Kopechne and Chappaquiddick.
On the bottom of the Windows Media display, go to the progress bar and drag the blue ‘dot’ forwards in time( from left slide to the right ) to the 30 minute mark. The time display is below the bar, on your left. The statement is at 30 minutes, and about 20 or so seconds.
Mary Jo death and Chappaquiddick. Ted Kennedy’s favorite joke subject.

“I have always been disgusted by the tendency of people to immediately transform someone who dies into a fictitious character with positive attributes they never exhibited during their lives.”
A big Amen on that Skip. I am in the same boat, having been “shushed” here on FR for saying virtually the same things, and also from some of my Email Lib, and RINO friends. I have come to the conclusion that if they have a problem with what I say, then the problem is theirs, not mine.
Mary Jo was one of Bobby Kennedy’s boiler room girls, who ran his campaign.
She was a party girl who went to one party too much. drinking the Kennedy Kool-Ade, she devoted her life to getting them elected.
The whole Chappaquiddick affair remains shrouded in mystery. Why was Teddy never seen by anyone with wet hair or clothes, as if he had never been in the water. I have always considered this to be a distinct possibility.
That being said,Mary Jo was a victim; of either a callous disregard for life that allowed her to drown, or she was victim of a murder. To cover up something, or ruin Teddy’s career.
May she rest in peace.

I believe that T.K. got her Pregnant. Instead of facing the truth and honesty of what he had done and lose his career, reputation and marriage, he beat her unconscious, drove the car off the bridge (with no guardrails) and fabricated his alibi.
I also suspect he never even got wet. Why else would he wait until the next day to even report it? I will ALWAYS believe he murdered Mary Jo to save his pathetic hide. After all, he was a Kennedy. And, needless to say, may he rot in Hell for his countless lies and sociopathic ways.
