it has nothing to do with left or right, I couldn't care less what his political orientation was or his office. I do care that he left a woman to drown in his car because he had to come up with a good back story and reason for the car ending up upside down in a tide channel (or probably just sober up). The events of that night speak volumes about his character. This society needs to stop glorifying our "high visibility personalities" as if they can do no wrong. It's not like he "allegedly" put that car in the river, it's a well documented fact.
The Last of
The Kennedy Dynasty
As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the “canonization” of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he
is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.
1.
He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it.
He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once
for paying a classmate to cheat for him.
2.
While expelled, Kennedy e nlisted in the Army, but
mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two.
Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England

Kopechne's family received a small pay out from the Kennedy's insurance policy, and20never sued. There was
later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills... a "token of

Let's not allow the spin doctors make this jerk a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is.
