There have been numerous threads regarding the night teddy chose to save his political career instead of the life of a drowning woman.

I jokingly made an offer just to hear one person on FOX News remind the country of MaryJo when the rest of the world was hailing him as the grand leader of the dems.

Bill Bennett came through that very evening on H&C.(as much as I like to think it was because he read my plea, I doubt it seriously Ha-ha!)

[Paraphrased] He reminded viewers to remember the events of one summer night in Massachusetts. He then made the dramatic (IMHO) point kennedy was demanding from President Bush much more than what kennedy was willing to do that night.

There was a nanosecond silence, but the point was made. Even Alan ("Nanny nanny boo boo, GOP does it too") Colmes did not dare bring up the obligatory "unfairness" or "cheap shot" rhetoric to soften the point.

I find it hard to believe the total lack of character on this issue. Facts are facts. Kennedy allowed a woman to die. Period. Those are the times which define someone's character. The night of his defining moment, he chose to save his political ass. As a result, any chance Mary Jo had of surviving was lost forever. Anyone who attaches validity to kennedy's words are complicit in what happened that evening.

He disgusts me.
