Mary Jo Kopechne, it was forty years ago today

Mary Jo Kopechne died 40 years ago today

Just past midnight on Saturday, July 19, 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy drove his black Oldsmobile sedan off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard, just off Cape Cod. The Senator escaped a watery death, but a passenger in his car, twenty-eight-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not.

The Democrat icon murderer, Ted 'Splash' Kennedy best represents the decadent and immoral standard of the utterly debased and corrupt Democrat party. He is their lion, their standard bearer (more like pall bearer).

"Senator Kennedy killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger." - George Killen ~ State Police Detective-Lieutenant who investigated the accident

Statements taken from witnesses:

• ( 3 ) - Rum and Cokes aboard the Bettawin - (witness: Stan Moore )
• ( 2 ) - Heineken Beers at the Shiretown Inn - ( witness: Joseph Gargan )
• ( 1 ) - Rum and Coke in hot tub at Lawrence Cottage - ( witness: Jack Crimmins )
• ( 2 )* - Rum and Cokes at the Party -( witness: Ted Kennedy )

*Because this number is based on Kennedy's inquest testimony, it should be viewed with some skepticism. The actual number of drinks was more.

The Manchester Union Leader reported that Senator Kennedy had charged 17 long distance telephone calls to his credit card during the hours he claimed to be "in shock" after the accident.

Farrar made his beliefs perfectly clear:

Farrar repeatedly expressed the opinion that Mary Jo Kopechne had lived for some time underwater by breathing a bubble of trapped air, and that she could have been saved if rescue personnel had been promptly called to the scene. He had equipment to administer air to a trapped person directly or to augment an air pocket inside a submerged automobile.

"There was a great possibility that we could have saved Mary Jo's life," Farrar said. "There would have been an airlock in the car - there always is in such submersions - that would have kept her alive. If we had been called, I would have reached the scene in 45 minutes. I say 45 minutes because it was dark. ( The daylight recovery had taken 30 minutes ). The lack of light might have caused a delay of 15 minutes."

Kennedy killed that girl.

Kennedy gave  multiple accounts of that night. (hat tip francois)

Oh and btw, fatboy is still alive.

We will never know exactly what happened that night. What we do know is that something was covered up. Perhaps the delay in calling for help was because his political career was more important than her life. As I recall, no autopsy was ever performed. Had he gotten her pregnant? Did she threaten to make trouble for him? Did he strike her over the head and then push or steer the car off the bridge? These are all things that we will never know because no autopsy was ever performed.

If God really does exist, then Ted Kennedy will have to answer for whatever happened to Mary Jo Kopechne soon.

Ted the Red Kennedy has done MORE DAMAGE to AMerica in his putrid lifetime than ANY OTHER SENATOR. Is it the Massachusetts water---the same water that has brought us John Forbes "Brie/Pate/Caviar" Kerry---VietCong War Hero and Barney's Frank? Could be.

Imagine the HUGE carbon footprint associated with Ted the Drunk, and his years of charcoal filtered distilled whiskey.

The ONLY WAY that I would temporarily agree to try Obama-Care would be if Teddy was placed on Obama care IMMEDIATELY, as a guinea pig, and IMMEDIATELY had his plug pulled. WHY is the taxpayer paying so much to keep this slug alive? Save the money, and save the nation. At least we will save money on his burial---no need to enbalm Ted---he is PRE-PICKLED. A dumpster instead of a coffin. Maybe he can be buried alongside Yassir Arafat---another contributor to evil in the World.

When Ted meets his maker--the Devil---the World will be a better place. I want to send off fireworks and raise TWO FLAGS to full staff.

Maybe TODAY---on the 40th Anniversary of the killing of Mary Jo Kopechne (a killing for which he NEVER apologized), Teddy could do us all a favor and become worm food. His burial dumpster is ready. Let us pray!

How about a "Musical Tribute" to Teddy Kennedy -- The Chap of Quiddick??

"And so I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now a part of me is with him." -Barack Obama on Ted Kennedy.
Ted Kennedy, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Rashid Khalidi. Quite the collection of murderers and terrorists our president looks up to, isn't it?

[seeteufel]

What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out and those people who were impoverished drowned."

Ted Kennedy on Katrina.
I am sure that was also Mar Jo's last thought.

[2T3MzooK]

What I can't get out of my mind is how slowly and awfully she died.

[Polymath]

There is no statute of limitations on murder.

[CHOI]

Question to Ponder:
How much time does Kennedy spend THINKING about what HE DID to Mary Jo,as he Lays SUFFERING with his illness?
He's probably "perfecting"his Turnspeak Excuse for when he meets his maker.
It WON'T MATTER.God is All-Knowing.

[En français]

All the Kennedys are parasites on the taxpayers like John Freaking Kerry and nameless others.
And yes he is a murderer now being paid in spades for his crime.

Pam,

I think my trackback is getting caught in the spam filter...

Sadly, I bet this slime ball doesn't lose any sleep tonight for what he did (or didn't do to be more precise) forty years ago.

[Truthful_One]

Maybe 'fatboy' will repent,...and that is why he *is* still alive.

I hope and pray that Ted, does.

An awful fate awaits those who do stuff like this.

"We will never know exactly what happened that night."

Jesus said we would, Warren: "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open." Luke 8:17

http://bible.cc/luke/8-17.htm

And again: "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known." Luke 12:2

To paraphrase a popular beer advertisement: "Live circumspectly, my friends".

Ted has another murder to atone for: his beautiful and talented wife Joan, who as a good Catholic did not divorce him early, tried to keep the marriage going and basically attempted suicide by alcohol before she finally left him. This now 73 year old lady had her life destroyed by Ted Kennedy's philandering, so I count this as another murder, in truth if not in fact.

Thanks for the Mary Jo memorial, Pam. This man deserves to rot in hell for all eternity.

My mother died of brain cancer, and it's not fun - glad to see him sharing a genuine experience for once in his life.

To bad he's not driving Pelosi over the bridge tonight, in a car with jammed locks on the doors and power windows.

[Warren]

It seem that Mary Jo Kopechne did not die in vain. For she gave her life so that Ted Kennedy would never be elected president of the United States of America. I think that July 19th should be declaired Mary Jo Kopechne Day.

[pythagoras]

So Barry Soetoro has something in common with Ted Kenendy: He too is guilty of murder (his grandmother, Toot) and has so far gotten away with it.

Mary Joe was the one person who needed healthcare and Teddy just couldn't be bothered

I encourage everyone here to search and read the 'Gemstone File'. Much of this story, or 'diary' can be corroborated through more searching of the many names that come up, including the recently released book (posthumously) 'JF Kennedy' written by President Gerald Ford. (He's no angel according to the 'Gemstone File' either! So read carefully.)
But the most sickening thing about the whole Mary Jo story is why Ted killed her. Real sickening! And no doubt Rose, Ted's mom would have known about this too and lied like they all do! (Politicians esp...)
Well it's websites like this that make me fear Democrats even more. (Or the many stupid people who vote for these socialist/communists/facists) I say that because as I write this many democrats in the US house are thinking about (Can you imagine this is actually happening in this day and age???) censoring CONSERVATIVE language, and then what? THINKING? Is THAT next? (Thought police???) I actually saw a PBS special (on @ 3AM!!!) with these idiot, socialist, communists democrats talking about how all the HATE (???) from Rush Limbough and others like him in the media are stirring people up to KILL ....THEM!?!? This was all histeria based on the recent case in California where a man shot 3 people dead in a government building and they found Rush Limboughs' and others' books in his apartment. This 'chatter' in Washington IS SERIOUS and MUST BE STOPPED! They are playing the Orwellian card and 'Double Speak' so to pacify those who WOULD speak out. They are cowards afraid of the masses. Let's keep Hitler in mind with these people, like Polosi and Obama when we consider what is easier, to fight the lion when he thinks he's in control, or when he feels he's cornered! We CANNOT allow our rights, ESPECIALLY of speech and the right to assemble as we the people wish to be erroded under the false premiss that 'hate' speach is somehow the same as 'riotious' as I don't feel threatened by some leftest commie calling me a 'neocon' or whatever. 'Couldn't care less. It's his right to say that to me and mine to call him a commie. So those in Washington better stand guard if they think they can legally take away our right to assemble and speak our minds. NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE HATE THEM. Then what? They take our guns???
We can all hate Ted Kennedy till we're blue in the face, but what do you think about maybe as much as 50% of our population, in the USA thinking Ted Kennedy is royalty? Now what do you hate more??? (Ignorance???) Regards, Bill B

O.K...I know for a fact that I love you people...I want to MARRY all of you and live in a little white house, with a white picket fence and have LOTS of Republican babies...
