Y Ted K day everyone!!!

Today is the 36th anniversary of Ted Kennedys murder of an innocent intern who made the bad decision of riding along with him after he had one too many. Here's a good article I found about the event.

During the month of June in 1969, Edward Kennedy was involved in a horrible car accident. He had been driving back from a party on Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, and had driven off the edge of a bridge. Luckily, he was not severely injured; however, Mary Jo Kopechne, a woman who was in his car, was killed. She was a 29-year-old blond secretary in Washington D.C., who worked for Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator George Smanthers. Edward Kennedy's wife was home with their children and had not attended the party.

The accident was not reported until eight hours after the car had sunk to the bottom of the river. On the following Monday, Kennedy was charged for leaving the scene of the accident. In Massachusetts, a manslaughter charge is always given when someone leaves the scene of a deadly accident. This was the second time that Kennedy had been in a fatal accident; five years earlier he had been in a serious plane crash and had broken his back.

Kennedy, who was 37, said that he was simply in shock, and that was why he had not called the police.

"I attempted to open the door and window of the car but I have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and repeatedly dove down to see if the passenger was still in it. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock and I recall that I was able to get back to some friends who had a car parked in front of the cottage. I asked someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period of time and when I suddenly realized what happened, I immediately called the police," Kennedy said.

Although Kennedy was sure that Kopechne's body had not been in the car, the police found her body in the back seat. A medical examiner reported that she had drowned and did not have any bruises on on her body. This meant that Kennedy had not been trying to force himself on her.

It is not definite that Kennedy did not plan this accident, or that he hesitated to call the police to hide his embarrassment of having an affair. However, what is thought to be true, is that the reason Edward Kennedy did not run for a high ranking political position, is because of this accident. He was thought to be a scandalous and deceitful person, who would not be electable because of this. It was very suspicious that an older man was found in a car accident with a young, beautiful woman who was not his wife. This was more significant because she was found dead. This one incident gave him and his family a bad name and caused his career to derail.

And we all know what this is



















And finally, Ted you have the nerve to question Bush on his intelligence going into Iraq? How about we bring you up on AT LEAST manslaughter charges. And we all know how much prisoners would probably like you. Man I hope you rot in hell when you die, until then enjoy losing every battle in the Senate.
