Speaking of an example of Teddy's repulsiveness . . .
Ed Kline fondly shared the following with the listeners on NPR's Diane Rehm show:
"I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, “have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?” That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."
Am not sure which is more monstrous, Teddy enjoying jokes about the death of a young single women he was personally responsible for, or Ed Kline somehow finding this admirable.
Btw - when exactly did Teddy show any remorse at all?
46 years in the Senate . . . that should have been 46 years in prison.
If Kennedy had his way - we would still have a Berlin Wall and a cold war.
ReplyDeleteKennedy Embraced the KGB and the wonderful Soviet Union, not us.

I have heard about this broadcast. I'm not sure what the context was.
ReplyDeleteIt easily could have been a way that Kennedy let people beat him up, or to say 'nothing is off limits' here. I don't know.
My point is: the guy is dead. He died of brain cancer and is gone.
Isn't that enough?
