The facts were clear enough. A clear majority of Massachusetts voters are morally depraved.
You're right. So I will ask him. Teddy, why did you kill Mary Jo Kopechne?
CNN should have included a laugh meter with this commentary...It would be off the scale...As far as we know the national news media followed the Dems lemming like over the cliff and has yet to climb back to the top....
Wrong - he’s a dem - he would get a pass today faster than he got a pass back them.
Yeah right. They would have fellated Teddy about it like they fellate every other leftist politician.
I think a little thing called The Manson Family Massacres
(three weeks after Mary Jo died), may have helped to distract
the public from Kennedy’s problem.
Interesting that Squeaky Fromme was released from
prison last Friday.
The nation’s response was tepid. According to a Time-Harris poll in August 1969, about 44 percent of respondents said Kennedy failed “to tell the real truth,” 51 percent said his explanation was inadequate and 77 percent said he was wrong not to report the accident immediately.
However, 58 percent of respondents said “he has suffered, been punished and should be given the benefit of the doubt.

77 percent said he was wrong? Good God what does that say about the other 23 percent?
"Senator Kennedy, after surviving a tragedy like this, will you now consider running for President?"
"Senator Kennedy, you swam across the bay, just like your brother JFK did during WW2. Since you are a true hero, will you now consider running for President?"
"Senator Kennedy, you have been a tireless advocate for women. Now that you have seen first hand, the struggles that women in this country are forced to endure, will it motivate you to run for President?"
Oh yeah, I can definitely agree the media would require answers.
If we are talking about the MSM then no. They appear remarkably incurious about anything evil a democrat might have done. That includes murder, treason, rape, bribery or any other felony.
The article is almost as amusing as it is depressing. The Police Chief at the time, 79 year old Jim Arena, said Thursday he would handle it no differently today except the would charge Kennedy with vehicular homicide, a charge that did not exist in 1969.
Fox, Rush, Glenn, and Freepers would, but the MSM? Not a chance.
What total complete barfing horse-shit!
Our media lays on their knee-pads and can’t even question presidential candidates about their past; their citizenship; their education; their family.
They can’t vet the assets of our ruling class, can’t question the appointment of governmental czars, can’t connect the dots about the governmental/union/
corporate/financial corruption all around us, and like Rather can’t even be trusted to report the truth!
The main stream media, in it’s current configuration, is dinosaur history!
Horsefeathers. They wouldn;t ask Obowma about his relationship with da Revrund Wright or with terrorist Bill Ayres, and they wouldn’t and didn’t ask the Hero of Chappaquidick anything about that either. They are, have been, and will remain in the tank for the Democrats.
There would be investigations, grand juries, interviews with Mary Jo’s family, movies, documentaries, reenactments, books, and jail.
And he would not be honored at his death.
Nope, they’d send a team to discredit the person who took the video. Make that teams...
Yep - or they’d claim it was ‘photo shop edited’.
I can hear them now, "WTH was THAT girl doing out late with the married senator in the first place?"
If a Democrat like Teddy caused her to axphyxiate in the car as before, it would never make the mainstream media at all today. Most Americans would never even know it happened.
I don't wish anything more on Ted Kennedy than he deserves, and God will take care of dishing that out to him, I am certain. And all those that covered up his dirty deeds, too. It's going to be a Liberal Boom down there some day when all the Good Old Boys and Girls from the Dems smokey back rooms pass on to their judgment time. Almost as big as the Baby Boom here, with these people who defied God and his rules!
They are so full of s****, they will too engaged and enthralled with their latest project Obama that they wouldn’t give a rip.
It would be like the clown juggling outside the three ring circus. A complete side show that they would play down because it would impact the narrative of their project Obama.
