NEW YORK - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy wrote in a memoir being published this month that he made terrible decisions after the 1969 car crash that killed Mary Jo Kopechne, but said he was never romantically involved with her

If the moron had at least made an effort to save her, this might not have been an issue for him. Maybe he would have been the Demo nominee in ‘72. Whether he would have beaten Nixon, we will never know. Pretty sad to think the nation would elect him.

[meandog]

As a 9-year-old boy at the Riverdale Country School in New York, Kennedy said he would hide under his bed, petrified of a dorm master he thought was sexually abusive.

Hah ha....right, Ted, is that's why you always stood up for pedophiles? (Sounds to me like that dorm master would have made an excellent Democrat).

but said he was never romantically involved with her

Well duhhh...he let her drown before he could get her back to the hotel room and take advantage of her.

Even then, we could argue that he was technically right, 'never romantically involved with her'. A play on words. How many one night stands did he count as 'romantic'? Taking advantage of the ladies (or however he worded it) might involve some shmoozing on his part to seduce them, but make no mistake, he himself didn't necessarily feel 'romantic'.

Ok, so thats why he would ask more often than not if anyone heard any new Chapaquiddic jokes over the last few years...

Yeah, that sounds remorseful...Not...

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course Ed Klein,Teddy's very good friend and former editor of Newsweek,revealed just a few days after his death that Teddy used to joke......JOKE!!...about Mary Jo's death.

So....so much for remorse and regret.

Actually, the Scotch fumes emanating from Kennedy’s corpse are now being used to fuel the `eternal flame’ at his new Arlington digs.

said he was never romantically involved with her

I have no problem believing that.

However, that statement only solicits more related questions.

Did he lead her to believe he was romantically involved?
Did "romantically involved" imply sex.
Did they have sex without romantic involvement?
Did she believe she was romantically involved with him?

I was saying that to a friend of mine the day old Ted ate it.
