The Legacy of Ted Kennedy... What You Won't See on the Network This Week...

Circulated by request... Remember this story was overshadowed by the voyage of Apollo XI.

For those of you too young to remember...this is all documented history.

A few days ago, from her grave, I thought I heard the voice ofMary Jo Kopechne (July 26, 1940 ‐ July 18, 1969)...

"This year I would have been 67 years old. My only wish, is that you please

refresh your memory of me and my murderer."

“When Senator Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on

Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his

deplorable past. But now that he has become the leading Democrat attack

dog, positioning himself as Washington 's leading arbiter of truth and

integrity, the 20 days for such indulgence are now over. It is time for good

Americans to stand up and remind our countrymen why this man had to

abandon his own presidential bid in 1980. It is time to say the words, "Mary Jo

Kopechne" out loud.”

As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that

most Americans already know the story of how the "Conscience of the

Democrat Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath

the Edgartown, Massachusetts, Bridge on July 17th, 1969 after a night of

drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker.

But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or the details of

how Kennedy swam to safety, and then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to

say he, Garghan, was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's

Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died (some medical experts saying

two and one‐half hours later), while this leading Democrat Iraq war critic

rushed back to his family's compound to formulate the best alibi possible.

Nor does Gen‐X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15

years earlier for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final.

Nor why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.

As they listened to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of

"telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters

don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when

Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town; an evening that

ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.

It's time for Republicans and Democrats with a soul to state unabashedly that

they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants

about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House.

Since the Republicans won't do it, let's do it ourselves by passing this

forgotten chapter of history to everyone you know in order to wake up the

memories of that disgrace to our nation's leadership, which is Ted Kennedy.

AND…

Isn’t it also a magnification of this disgrace and shame that this man was

recently awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Obama. Sickening!
