Why are so many Americans so infatuated with so-called royalty? The Declaration of Independence so eloquently stated that which seems to have fallen on so many deaf ears: ALL men are created EQUAL. Unambiguous in its meaning but still viewed as a theory instead of a practice. It’s astounding that some of the most flawed human beings in the world become god-like and treated like royalty after attaining high political offices.
Inflation adjusted that was a lot of money back in those days for the Kopechnes... Sad that they accepted blood money but as seemingly good democrats it would have never bothered their conscience a bit.
About ten times the 1969 figure. I checked an online inflation calculator.
That no one in her family spoke out always amazed me.....They were from Scranton. Meaning they were Democrats. No dissin’ the Dems would be allowed up there. Plus a little largesse and threats from lawyers would smooth it all over.
Actually about seven times. The two payments came out to about $900,000.
I wonder if the 68 Olds will be on display...
Will Chris Dodd be on display in the waitress sandwich display?
Wow. They sold their daughter cheap.
Well there were other parts of the story we have never learned about. Mary Jo’s mother said she (Mary Jo) had a boy friend. He has never been identified or interviewed to the best of my knowledge.
The loathsome, shameless, and venal creature plopped his fat @$$ in a Senate chair for 46 years, and did more to destroy America than any other Congress-critter in history. That $43M in taxpayer money paid for this garish and monstrous tribute to immorality, corruption, and criminality is the most galling fact. P!$$ on The Hero of Chappaquiddick and the entire rotten Kennedy clan.
[Is that too much sugar coating?]
