**** happens and life goes on. I am the last of my generation. I have
lost a brother and sister, both suddenly. I did not try to get a marriage
annuled after more than 25 years of marriage, and by so doing, making my
offspring legally *******s. Nor did I kill anyone, make havoc in a bar
with Dodd, or go on a drunken spree that has lasted ever so long. Ted
Kennedy is the weakest of the three brothers (I do not include Joe because
Ted did no know him). I am sorry for his death, but I certainly will not
miss his lies and hypocrisy. Richard was correct in his admonition of the
man. Some will think him a saint; I look upon him as a joke, dead or
alive.

Nice legacy, Teddy...

John... there but for the grace of god...

John,

The woman was pregnant, probably with his kid, and
she did not drown. She suffocated. So, somehow,
the drunk managed to get out of the car underwater
and close the door behind himself so she would
suffocate instead of drown. I say "murder one".

He also negotiated with the Soviets behind Reagan's
and the state department's backs -- can we cay "treason".
(That was discovered in the KGB's archives.)

Have you heard his nasty, vitriolic comments on the
senate floor about Judge Bork and Clarance Thomas?
This is not a nice man by any stick. He tried
to destroy these mens careers and even their
very lives.

Lets not forget the "waitress sandwiches". What
a pervert.

And, no not "there but for the grace of god".
Who anyone could compare there tribulations
in life to that pig is incredulous.

Just my 2 cents.

He ignored facts and as President Reagan said, “facts are stubborn
things”. I remember in the early 1970s, Kennedy, a leading advocate
for amnesty for draft dodgers, took questions at a public event (at
least he had the honor to do this unlike current politicians). A man
got up, told him he’d lost his son in Vietnam and asked just how he
could be such an advocate for amnesty when his own brother, JFK,
started the Vietnam War and his brother’s appointees (MacNamara, Rusk,
Westmoreland) had so thoroughly botched it. Ted mumbled something
incoherent and called on someone else with a friendlier question.
Facts are stubborn things.

I have heard rumors (and that's all they were) about her being
pregnant. As far as his leaving the car and closing the door, I don't
know. But I do know that she could have been saved. There was a
pocket of air in the car and she took shelter in it, breathing it until
the CO2 killed her. If he wasn't drunk he could have gotten help or
helped her himself. His abandonment of her, going to sleep (probably
to sober up), and not reporting it until it was too late is the part
that bothers me about his character. His "trial" was a travesty. He
should have gone to jail.

I feel that the US might be wise to take a tip out of Europe's book,
and deprive their Royal Families of political power.

The Bushes, Kennedies and Windsors are fine for scandal and fashion,
but politics is much better done by dull people who are given office
for their ability, rather than because of who their relatives happen to

Ted Kennedy
 

Ted Kennedy tried to be a leader after 3 of his brothers died: One in
World War II, the favorite who was supposed to run for President. And
2 others were murdered by each a gunman’s bullet. Teddy, in the
meantime, had no mystical sword or was knight of the Round Table.
Teddy was spoiled slush of a drunk who thought only of himself. He
cheated in Harvard & was expelled, yet Joe Kennedy–with his wealth &
influence–had the spoiled Kennedy forced into the school when anyone
else would not have been allowed back. In a drunken stupor, he
murdered Mary Jo Kapachne in Chappaquiddick, yet again was not held
accountable for his actions. Anyone else would have gone to jail for
either murder or manslaughter. Teddy kept his senate seat warm all
these years as he became more of a liberal ideologue bent on Big
Government as 1 senator out of 100 instead of being President of the
United States when he ran in 1980. Senator Ted Kennedy cheated on his
wife, had ravaged young women with Senator Chris Dodd to make a
“waitress sandwich” while in a drunken haze, & lived a hypocritical
life such as when he pandered to the Environmentalists, yet did not
want the wind farms on Martha’s Vinyard. If Senator Edward Kennedy was
the lion of the senate, he was the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz
who was scared of his own shadow. In other words, Senator Ted Kennedy
was all bark & no bite (unless you were a hapless waitress or a woman
he found he wanted for the night). There is no Camelot with the
Kennedy’s; it was all about political power & domination of the
average American the Kennedy’s claimed to represent.

Anyhow, I am probably in agreement with Family-Outdoors(by the way, a name

bizarre picture, but maybe Will is correct that the ledger tilts to the
positive. I don't know.
Rick speaks of conduct the man apparently got behind himself 10 years or so
ago. Certainly, he benefitted from undue priviledge in the handling of his
causing the death of another. Yet, politically, he became very savvy and a
positive legislative influence. He stuck to certain principles in his
legislative agenda with consistency. Time will tell where the verdict falls.

Tom, what do you think of his annulment of his marriage of 25 years?

I think the whole Catholic Church treatment of marriage, and the saleable
nature of annullments is amusing.

Do you think you or I could have received such special favor from the
Catholic Church?

the very same deal was offered to me, when I go remarried to Lisa. It came,
of course, with a clearly stated price tag. I told them to stuff it, and we
were married in the Methodist Church.

Thus, no, I see absolutely no special treatment for Ted Kennedy on that
matter. His price tag may have been steeper, but the principle(or lack of
same)remains. Its sort of like Oscar Wilde once said to a woman at a dinner
party(after getting her to agree to sleep with him for a large sum,but being
appalled when he suggested a meager one afterward), "We've established
clearly what you are, now we are merely haggling over price."

I have spent more time then I wished around Kennedys and their "friends"

Having heard some of their stories, this is easy enought to believe.

(a fair
amount of time), grew up and spent a fair amount of my adult life in Palm Beach,
spent time on Martha's Vineyard and have a number of friends who have done
similarly, including several that also have family homes there.

Ah, the Vineyard!.....those were some days! I recall a particularly
beautiful summer's evening down at the dock, aboard the Honey Fitz.
Rose, fairly well lubricated by the time she'd finished her third
Dewar's and diet Dr. Pepper (no ice, shaken, not stirred) was
reminiscing about your daddy ("that diminutive pickel boy" as she
fondly referred to him). She said, "There ain't nuthin' much wrong
with that boy that couldn't be fixed by someone grabbing him by the
ears and ****ing him in the mouth." Jack, flashing his famous grin,
replied, "Well, that isn't precisely true, Mumsie."

I mean this as
a straightforward question: "what personal insight do you have into the
Kennedys?"

A fair question. And far be it from me to answer for anyone else, but
it seems to me that if you were to offer some of your own anecdotes it
would help others immensely in their quest for a balanced view.

And there you are,

LaCourse, you know virtually nothing about me, or what I do, you
