Ted Kennedy spent his life sentence in the Senate
and America dropped the soap.
A family was denied justice in 1969 because of Teddy's pedigree.
Every news report I've heard about him says that the "incident" at Lake Chappaquiddick was a 'stain on his political career'.
It's a blood stain.
No one can deny his impact and influence in American politics. But using that as the reason why the Kopechne family never saw an ounce of justice is the coward's way out. "The Kennedy Way" If you will. It's like letting Charles Manson loose and letting him become a motivational speaker!
The Kennedy family is known for three things:
Lying
Dying
DUI-ing
CNN produced a tribute the 'Liberal Lion of the Senate'. They said something in the end that I actually agreed with. They said, "Ted Kennedy never stopped looking forward". It's true. If you think I've gone bonkers for agreeing with CNN, hold on. Think of it this way: Did Ted Kennedy ever look back at Mary Joe Kopachne? We'll never know.
