Is this a history lesson? Why bother bringing this up? Both Edward Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne are deceased. Who really cares?

There was a deer in the road and he swerved to avoid it. If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you.

Truth is both of them were *****. She was in the passenger seat ****** out. He was driving. The incident ruined Edward Kennedy's political aspirations to become the third Kennedy ******* to attempt to become President of the United States, but after this and the two assassinations of his brothers John F. and Robert F., his ****** Joseph, the former Ambassador to England, kept him from losing that seat in the United States Senate. He stayed on as one of the U.S. Senators from Massachusetts.

Though to be honest, he didn't have the persona of his brothers. He didn't have the right amount of charisma. The Yiddish word is chutzpah. If this incident hadn't happened, he would never have been elected President of the United States. He was just plain "stick in the mud" Ted.

So much tragedy in the Kennedy ******.

Is this a history lesson?

In a way yes.

Why bother bringing this up?

Some people are interested in historical incidents related to politics.

Both Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne are deceased. Who really cares?

Maybe their relatives care.

So much tragedy in the Kennedy ******.

The career of a politician is full of problems and tragedies.

When someone makes decisions about common things he gets enemies if decisions cause problems for some.

I saw a great shirt at a *** show once. It said, "Ted Kennedy's car has ****** more people then my ***."

It's funny because he was VERY anti 2nd Amendment.

Count me in. John’s post was actually a way bit better though. One year earlier Ted’s ******* was assassinated.

One month later Woodstock happened. Coincidence?

This event has been rehashed so many times, why here and why now? Welcome back to the fishbowl.

Something a little more current for you.

Isn’t that the human condition? We all have problems and tragedies. Those of politicians, preachers, actors, etc, get publicized for our amusement.

^**** like this is why no one takes ass-man seriously.

Ya know, I really get what you're saying, but stranger things have happened with that ******. I can see that ******* fuck doing that to take out a "chatty" vindictive woman. Now I'm not saying it did happen that way, and I get your point about assari, but think about some of the fucked up **** that has been pulled by our politicians,

Just throwing it out there X. It's one of those things, certain families might try....the Bush ******, the Cheney's. Rich families, do odd ****, to cover up silly little indiscretions.

Liberals are very negative about guns and very positive about abortion.

Maybe the two things are related.

One month later Woodstock happened. Coincidence?

Maybe coincidence maybe not. Very liberal-style events both.

This event has been rehashed so many times, why here and why now? Welcome back to the fishbowl.

Today’s young people don’t know this event but I don’t know why it came to my mind.

Maybe it’s somehow related to the new president of your country. Where there are liberals there are also obscure events.

Thank You.

A terrible case, but whether it was done intentionally is hard to say.

All human beings are human beings, but politicians can be very ruthless.

Why was Ted Kennedy’s car so far from the beach?

Driving speed has been huge before crashing into the sea.

Speculation is justified, but to state as a fact that, "Ted Kennedy deliberately drove his car into the sea.", is ridiculous.

Maybe Ted Kennedy wanted to get rid of a secretary who knows too much?

Maybe his intention was to **** himself and the person who is planning suicide may not care about the lives of others.

Welcome back, assari. Where the heck have you been?

All I know is that a car will not suffer such major damage unless the person who controls it makes some significant mistake:

Huge speeding

Welcome back, assari. Where the heck have you been?

Thank you. It’s fun to be back here and I noticed you’ve made many good conversation openings while I’ve been away.

Maybe the summer weather has made me stay away from the computer!

Major damage and significant mistakes like huge speeding doesn't automatically make it a deliberate act.
