Liberals Think Mary Jo Kopechne’s Death Was The Catalyst for Ted’s Illustrious Career
Now, I don’t want to jump all over his grave, and I would normally just not say anything, following my Mother’s advice “If you don’t have anything good to say, be silent.” But, when Melissa Lafsky, Huffington Post wrote that perhaps Mary Jo Kopechne would have thought that her death “was worth” launching his fabulous career.
For those of you unfamiliar with the details, Ted was drunk when he and his passenger in the back seat, Mary Jo, plummeted into the waters off the bridge on Chappaquiddick. Ted got out, swam to shore, bypassed a telephone booth 150 yd from shore, went back to the party, showered, took a nap, bought a few newspapers, complained about the noise next door, and, nine hours later, called to report the accident. He said he was taking her to the Edgartown Ferry, but why had she left her purse and keys at the party? The rescuers said that Ms. Kopechne had a small pocket of air and could have been saved, if he had bothered to call the police right away.
Apparently, Senator Kennedy had little remorse about the incident, which was really a manslaughter, and was known to ask if there were any good Chappaquiddick jokes. According to Carl Cannon, Politics Daily, after Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, “Kennedy thundered, “Is there one system of justice for the average citizen and another system for the high and mighty?” The Hypocrisy!
This is how the liberals think: if your death is “good for the community”, then you should die. Does anyone have any doubts about Teddycare? Obamacare now?
