Ted Kennedy should have been (under) a federal prison long, long ago.

Re: Kopechne suffocating. This was in a book loaded with footnotes and pictures back when it was news – but the title escapes me after all these years. However, if you go to ytedk.com you will find this charge confirmed. Mary Jo had a couple of teaspoons of water in her lungs. That means she did not drown. You’re darn right this makes it worse. That’s my point.

Your father may be interested to know that Mary Jo Kopechne did not drown. She suffocated. She’d found an air pocket and hung on (waiting to be rescued) until the oxygen was used up. That’s why she didn’t have any water in her lungs. I think the reason we always hear that she drowned instead of the truth is because the truth reveals that Teddy’s reactions were even more reprehensible than we thought.

Sounds just like my own father. We’ve had the worst arguments one can imagine, at the point of screaming, but I have never doubted his love. To him the state is just a very large homeowner’s association, so there has not been much common ground politically, but his basic moral compass and mine always seem in sync somehow when we see a real injustice. Don’t you forget that wonderful man on father’s day.

Yes, Kennedy’s still alive and Kopechne is still dead. I Lived in Massachusetts at the time and the general attitude seemed to be that “she shouldn’t have been in the car”, usually said in a leering voice. Never forget that the semi-good people of Commonwealth have sent TK back to the Senate time after time. This very liberal state has always been my model of the justice we can expect when Liberals run things.
