Q: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted's Career? (revulsion alert) (Huffington Post quote via National Review online)

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.

Will Simon & Garfunkle be at the funeral to sing Bridge Over Troubled Water?

I wonder how many times after Mary Joe’s death he crossed that same bridge?

Also wonder if you can count the number of times he was as drunk again?

Very sad statement about his character and value as a human being.

It is however not for us to judge him, someone else is doing that task now.

The National Lampoon ran that 'ad' in 1973. Lacking a proper sense of humor, the Krauts sued them. So, the Lampoon duly printed a retraction: "Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today."

The Judiciary System should have judged him! How come that didn’t happen?

How come that didn’t happen?

Simple, the fix was in before the election. Some members in both parties participating, along with the Media. They intend to sell us into Global Bondage.

Here's a joke I heard around Xmass 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis.

Person 1: Good news! Did you hear that the Iranians have accepted an offer to exchange the hostages for Jane Fonda?

Person 2: No.

Person 1: Bad news, Ted Kennedy's driving her to the airport.

HERE’S ONE FOR YOU TEDDY, DID YOU HEAR WHAT ONE REPORTER ASKED YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW? ‘OTHER THAN THAT JACKIE, HOW WAS THE RIDE?’

And there is the one about about Kennedy comparing difficulties — saying “This is nothing — you should try dressing a naked woman underwater.”

I guess we can add, now, after his “memoirs”, . . . dressing a naked woman I didn’t even know very well. . . .

I feel confident in saying Teddy is burning in Hell and rightfully so at this moment...
