I have often wondered if in some manner based on twisted logic Kennedy made these political crusades as a way of trying to atone personally for those things he felt guilty about, like Chappaquiddick.

if ... Kennedy made these political crusades as a way of trying to atone personally for those things he felt guilty about, like Chappaquiddick.
If you think for even one nanosecond that Ted Kennedy gave a crap about anyone other then himself, you are sadly, SADLY, mistaken.
Felt guilt? Not in a million years. In fact, he probably cursed Mary Jo his entire life for ruining his chance to be president.
