What I don't like is that he LEFT HER TO DIE!! She was still alive!

Now that you mention it the piece of crap Teddy straight up killLET Hed Mary Jo Kopechne.

Since ppj cant see Kennedy Airport mentioned, or listen to The Dead Kennedys without bringing it up and hijacking the thread, let me just pre-empt him by saying Chappaquidick. There. Now you wont have to trouble yourself Jim and everyone else can carry with a discussion focused on the prudence and morality of the Iraq invasion.

Think about it: George W. Bush has created such enormous and intense antagonism among 48% of the Nation that they are unanimously opposed to him and counting the days until they come out in gigantic numbers to end one party government in America. George W Bush has created such widespread disapproval among politically independent Americans that they want change in numbers approaching 80%. With disapproval now growing among conservatives, the way of the Bush and Rove response is living proof of the core reason that he may remembered in history for a catastrophically failed Presidency and a long term disaster for his Party. ... What kind of leaders send our troops to battle, unconscionably, so lacking in armor protection and equipment that the Marine Corps pathologist concludes, in the third year of the war, that 70% of the casualties were preventable? And then allow some of our wounded troops to return home and be charged for their sacrifice, and then pursued by debt collectors because they cannot afford to pay, and then be victimized by a Veterans Administration led by a former Republican Chairman that falls dramatically short of serving our heroes while creating the mammoth violation of privacy of veterans in the history of computers? ... And what is the response of Bush and Rove? When they are not demonizing the gays, they are waving the flag, preparing to challenge the patriotism of political opponents who prefer supporting those who wear that flag on their shoulder to using the flag as a partisan weapon in the endless political wars that will be the sad legacy of those who never learned that we are, indeed, in this together. June 03, 2006 Brent Budowsky: Election 2006: For Whom The Bell Tolls [via The Washington Note]

2006 will be an Americanism election, the kind of country we are, the kind people we aspire to be, the kind of democratic values and institutions we must honor, the spirit of mutual respect and tolerance and shared purpose and patriotism that is the common trust of every man and woman gifted by God to be born in this land we genuinely and passionately love. Our answer to the status quo is this: this land is truly your land, it is truly our land, it is the land not of Republicans or Democrats, not of liberals or conservatives, not of partisans or ideologues. America is the land of that Lady who holds up the torch... --Brent Budowsky

They say he's getting married again. He's decided to take another stab at it.

Ted Kennedy and OJ are equivalents. Police work at its best.

BTW, You have no idea of how honest or not I am.

Any statement by you, regardless of which side it comes down on is simply talking out your a$$.

I didn't compare the cases, you did. All I said was I'll bet OJ won't escape the stigma of his close connection to an unresolved case either.

The messenger matters doesn't it?

Glad that you are retracting it. That sort of thing, if left uncorrected, only diminishes....

Hard to retract a statement you didn't make. But if it makes you feel better.

To be fair, OJ will probably never live it down either. He'll always be on the quest to find the real murderer(s)

You brought up the OJ murder case as a comparison to Kennedys troubles with Chappaquiddick. Just an arbitrary non sequitur? I think not.
