HufPo Writer: Maybe Mary Jo Would Have Been Happy To Have Died For The Kennedy Cause UPDATE: You Know What Cracked Teddy Up? A Good Chappaquiddick Joke!

You see, she wasn't killed as much as she was a good liberal who took one for the team or something (safe link to NRO).

We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.

Who knows — maybe she'd feel it was worth it.

I put the Matt Cooper thing in the headlines before Ace posted it and I said it was the "dimwitted quote of the day, so far". Never in my wildest dreams however did I think it would be topped in such spectacularly stupid and disgusting fashion. I'm not ready to call it the worst yet or that we are likely to see before it's all said and done. We've still got two days until the guy is buried.

It never ceases to amaze me that liberals, especially liberal women, who look to Democrats to vindicate their feminist ideas are willing to put up with sexual abuse, offer themselves up sexually or even think women might be happy to die for them.

This is their idea of what political heroes should be? Sick stuff.

Somewhat related...there's a debate whether opponents of health care reform should acquiesce to the Democrats new idea of calling it "KennedyCare". I say fine.

First, Kennedy is not nearly as popular outside of liberal salons as they think.

Second, when a lot of people think of Kennedy they think of three things: dangerous behind the wheel, bloated and dead. Strikes me that's a perfect metaphor for Obama-Kennedy Care or whatever we wind up calling it.

UPDATE: If launching Kennedy's career to a whole new level wasn't enough, I'm sure Mary Jo Kopechne would be happy to know she provided a lifetime of humor (for him, not her obviously).

Yeah, I'm pretty much not feeling bad about joking about this SOBs death.

15 Duh.

What do you all think feminism IS? Feminism is nothing more than the pursuit of the Alpha male. The desire to be the mistresses and so on of powerful men. That's the WHOLE POINT of feminism.

There is no contradiction. Liberal women LOVE: Clinton, Kennedy, Dodd (with Teddy in the booze-soaked grope/assault fest on the waitress), Villaraigosa, Newsome, etc. BECAUSE they are bastiches. The worse a man is to women, and the more he poses as "the Big Man" (particularly if he humiliates/berates subordinates and is a general jerk) and has the "correct" political attitudes endorsed by the fashionable people, women will be all over him.

It's the same in Hollywood as it is in Politics. It's the same dynamic too. It's a basic lust for power. It manifests itself in different ways in women than men, but oh boy is it there, and oh boy is it as equally as ugly (as in men). Just ugly in a different way.

16 Your comment "Kennedy is not nearly as popular outside of liberal salons as they think," combined with the link to the Mirabella quote and its comments, give me some hope.

The whacked-out Left really is a small minority. They thought Obama's election was proof that they weren't, but they were hopelessly wrong, and they're finding that out now.

And it absolutely enrages them.

Not likely. Mary Jo's father died an embittered man. I imagine the conversation went something like this: "He's a KENNEDY. The 'accident' took place in Massachusetts. There was no real investigation of the 'accident'. No 'evidence' was collected. All of the witnesses are on the Kennedy payroll. Do you honestly think Ted would be CONVICTED of anything? Take the money. Shut up. Bury your daughter. Forget about it."

31 When you think about it, the vics have always been little people. No-future lounge singers, low-level state workers, waitresses, secretaries, interns....
The apologists apologize for the victimization of others. Usually, the vic is not the apologist and vice versa.
IOW, the feminists are willing to throw their disposable sisters to the sharks if the sharks will slander Judge Bork or fund abortioin.
Tammy Bruce said that organized feminism is for radical/progressive causes. If women's issues help, then women's issues are SERIOUS. If not, not. If there's a conflict, women's issues are slagged.
Example: Feminists on the Duke lax rape hoax. But when a real rape happened, when all that horror that the fems tell us happens in a rape happened for real to a real woman....nada. Wrong narrative. Rich white jocks against a poor black woman justifies reproaches to all of society, especially white men. But the other rape caseat Duke had a white vic and a black perp and thus the wrong narrative. So the vic, who was really raped, is a nothing.
Hard to see a better example of Bruce's point than that.

34 I have always thought the whole accident was really a cover up for a rape or rape attempt. His excuses for not getting her out of the car, nor summoning help don't make sense without it -- and given his pattern of behavior with women, plausible.

Something went wrong in that car and I don't think it went wrong at the inlet.

35 Well, "ObamaCare" isn't working, so why not call it "KennedyCare," although that brand is as played out as the Popeil Pocket Fisherman. When I think of KennedyCare, I visualize Dr. Kennedy driving his patient in a town carinto the water, then swimming away. Calling it KennedyCare is marginally better than calling it DeathPanelCare.

Joseph Kopechne is quoted by the magazine as saying he and his wife

Saw that rapist William Kennedy Smith at the Kennedy Library today.

The travesty of Willie Smith raping Patricia Bowman at the Kennedy compound was magnified by the perjured testimony of Ted Kennedy. The entire Kennedy clan was afforded front row seats to influence the jury. How do you reserve seats in a court of law?

Shameful testimony and poor decision for Ms. Bowman, most commonly known as the Blue Blob. The media were brutal towards Bowman, and kissed the Kennedy asses throughout the trial.

She has a family. She had a future.

Teddy Kennedy killed her. He killed her dreams. Her future. The dreams of her family. They say she lived about a half hour before she died. I cannot imagine what she went through. Teddy was never put in jail for his crime. Imagine if that was your sister, your daughter.

Today is a happy day for the Kopekne family. Their daughter's killer has left this earth and hopefully gone to hell.

55 From the Wikipedia entry on the event.
two amateur fishermen had seen the overturned car in the water and notified the inhabitants of the cottage nearest to the pond, who called the authorities at around 8:20 am. A diver was sent down and discovered Kopechne's body at around 8:45 am. The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne's body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded that -
"Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim's side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car."
Farrar believed that Kopechne "lived for at least two hours down there.

57 Hey, the Pufferfish is on to something here.

Had Teddy not swam away from Chappaquiddick with his political career intact, he never would have been able to get William Kennedy Smith off of those annoying rape charges.

And if he didn't keep William Kennedy Smith out of jail, why Mr Smith wouldn't have had the opportunity to sexually assault at least two other women.

So, I think that not only would Mary Jo Kopechne approve of the results of her death at Kennedy's hands, but I'm sure all real feminists beam in pride at Teddy's long fight for the freedom to choose to sexually assault women.

Off the top of my head?

Car doors get jammed in auto accidents.

If the car is laying on it's side, then you have to push the door up, not sideways.

Water pressure makes it almost impossible to open a car door underwater unless the cab is completely filled with water as well.

Understandable panic in a life-threatening situation makes problem-solving difficult.

And the more heinous possibility that she wasn't conscious when the car went into the water.

I would agree there. The car landed on it's roof. Finding yourself in cold water can induce a lot of panic. I'm sure she didn't realize she was only in 7 feet of water. She was not from the coast and probably thought she was in deep ocean. She did not live hours. If the entire car had been filled with air it would not be enough for hours.

But the air bubble would be big enough for 15 minutes at least to make her cling to it rather than immediately attempt to swim away. She probably ran out of air trying to work up the courage to attempt to swim up from what she may have thought was the bottom of the ocean. People don't realize that you get sleepy gradually as you run out of air. It's not a quick thing.

The really sick part is Teddy was an excellent swimmer. Had she been 20 feet down he would have been able to reach her easily. The bastard must never have made any attempt and I doubt his buddies did either. They had to know it was useless by the time Teddy got back to them.

130 As to old Teddy liking Chappaquiddick jokes I am sure what was meant was jokes about him. I am sure he saw it as a way of attoning somehow by letting people know he agreed he was a joke concerning that. But he was sick there too. He probably saw that as real guilt, suffering being the butt of jokes, as opposed to actually feeling bad about Mary Jo.

Posted by: Rocks at August 28, 2009 02:45 AM (3RHzM)

131 I caught a post today where a blogger made the following claim to absolve Teddie's apparent lack of interest in summoning help.
"Just because there was a light on (at Dike House) doesn't mean there was anyone home."

This made me wonder - Here's little Teddy Kennedy, a Junior Senator whose seat was bought and paid for by his Daddy's connections. Soaked to the bone, drunk as fuck, and with a woman other than his wife in his rapidly sinking car. [Whether or not she has a stomach full of his DNA, a Womb Carrying his Bastard(s), or has/had been recently raped. After all, M.Kennedy Smith is a legacy rapist...]
Teddy is by all accounts crapping his well tailored pants. He has aspirations/delusions of a Presidency in his alchohol addled brain. It is slipping away. Nobody has noticed, at leastthere appears to be no witnesses.
At this point he makes up his mind to flee the scene. He must have thought that he could shrug off a murder/hommicide charge - after all, he's a Kennedy. Those laws don't apply to him.
Why the fuck would a decent man, with the same connections and hubris inspired confidence, care if nobody was home at the nearest residence?
Are we expected to believe that he was afraid of a Breaking and Entering rap if nobody was home to answer the door?
A woman lay dying in the bottom of that pond. He was directly responsible for her situation as well as her condition. Even a stranger would be justified in breaking a window to call for help.
Apparently Teddy never read his Kant:
HeCould Have Saved Her.
(Ergo)- HeShould Have Saved Her.
However - He Chose NOT To Save Her.

Yet he had the clarity to; i)entreat his friends to keep the accident a secret, ii)have them aid him in his escape/flight from the Vineyard,iii) immediately call the Front Desk at his Inn (after swimming across the Bay) to complain aboutthe people in the adjoing room atthe Inn keeping him awake upon his return?
So, he had the mental accuity to establish (or at least try to establish) an alibi, but not the Moral Clarity to fulfill the basest of all Human Obligations.

He chose to let her die because her death would be more convenient than the Truth.

133 Through his tireless work as a legislator....

That's hilarious. Kennedy took more vacations in a year than most people take in a lifetime. He had a staff of 100. The most work he ever did was staying sober long enough to make a decent speech. He certainly never cooked a meal or washed his own clothes or cleaned a single thing in his whole life. Everything was arranged him.

That was as good of a eulogy to Teddy as he deserved. Only too polite. Nevertheless, well done.

Calm down, step back, and take a disinterested view of history. Consider how we think of, say, the Borgias, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Or consider the excesses detailed in Suetonius's "The Twelve Caesars." We read of the anti-human degradation, the appalling perverted behaviors of the people raised to highest levels in societies long dead. We marvel a little, as if to say "How could people so monstrous inhabit the corridors of power?" But the reaction to such an observation usually consists of something like whistling past the graveyard... In other words, we think "That could never happen here, now, in the 21st century. People are far more civilized, in fact we almost think of decadent Roman tyrants as another species." And we fool ourselves.

You want to see Caligula resurrected? Look at the life of Edward M. Kennedy. We have such monsters in human shape, here and now. One of them died recently, and it could not have come too soon.

137 It was only 7 feet of water. The car was discovered in the morning by 2 fisherman as it could be seen very clearly from above the water, in daylight at least.

As far as someone being home at the house with a light there was. The woman testified to it at the inquest which is when she noted she had left the light on prior to going to bed.

What you wonder is what made him so sure she was dead? Teddy said he kept thinking to himself that night that she must have got out somehow and expected her to show up but yet told his buddies not to tell the other girls to keep them from trying to rescue Mary Jo supposedly. The other thing was that they did find small amounts of blood on her clothes. Just how the hell did he become so sure she was dead so quickly?

Posted by: Rocks at August 28, 2009 03:05 AM (3RHzM)

138 Many years ago The Discovery Channel did a story on Chappaquiddick. They came up with a different POSSIBILITY. The question the news media didn't report was that Kennedy was at a party two hours AFTER the accident, and in dry clothes. The FBI report is at (http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/chappaquiddick.htm).

The Discovery Channel GUESSED Kennedy gave Mary Jo Kopechne a ride home. On the way, he pulled over and they got out of the car. Kennedy tried to have sex with Mary Jo. He was known to love women and booze. She fought him off, jumped in the car, and drove away.

She might have had a few drinks, and she didn't know the road very well. It was a narrow one-lane dirt road, and it was at night. The road comes right to the end of the bridge at an angle. The bridge angles left. There wasn't a guard rail on the bridge at that time. She went off the bridge and into the water. If I remember correctly, the car wasn't completely under water. The bottom of the car was above water.

The Discovery Channel figures Kennedy walked or got a ride, eventually winding up at some get together. He was known to be there TWO HOURS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, in dry clothes, and hadn't reported it. If he was driving, why didn't he help Mary Jo or go get help? He would of passed several houses on his walk. There are just too many unanswered questions.

148 It never ceases to amaze me that liberals, especially liberal women, who look to Democrats to vindicate their feminist ideas are willing to put up with sexual abuse, offer themselves up sexually or even think women might be happy to die for them.

This is their idea of what political heroes should be? Sick stuff.

Recall that in the late nineties, numerous leftard female columnists or commentators were explicitly stating their desire to service Mr. Clinton, with oral obeisances as "gratitude" for his leftard sympathies.

They said this gleefully, despite the fact that the man was and is still (?) married, and has a daughter. A person with even rudimentary notions of decorum and respect for others would think offering in public, in print or on TV, to fellate a married man would be an insult to his wife, his children, and to him.

On the other hand, I don't recall Cankles or Chelsea objecting to the public prurience of leftard females, wishing to predate upon Billy's willy.

155 ``Joseph Kopechne is quoted by the magazine as saying he and his wife
rejected an autopsy later because "we were led to believe that the
autopsy was primarily to find out if my daughter was pregnant."


Don't know how many commenters here are old enough to remember 1969, but back then, an out-of-wedlock pregnancy was still shocking, at least among middle-class people. I can imagine the Kopechnes being fearful (1) that it might be true and (2) that word might get out.

Mary Jo was an only child, and both her parents are dead now. I hope they rest in peace. Teddy, not so much.

There never was a "womens" movement. There was a progressive womens movement going back to the beginning of the progressive era, run by bored affluent housewives who wanted to help out the "little people". Sometime in the late 50s, these women "realized" that they themselves were the "little people," and that somehow it was men's fault.

You know, the Kennedys that made their initial fortune bootlegging, which at the time was the equivalent of the Medellin Cartel? Sure they'd gone "legit" since prohibition, but you think they didn't still have some very rough boys on their payroll? Plus, they'd already bought off the local cops, the local legal system, and probably bought off/shut up everyone within 10 miles of that bridge- I'm not so eager to dismiss the Kopechnes out of hand given this scenario.

221 Ted Kennedy epitomizes what is wrong with American politics: a career politician who never worked an honest day in his life, gives away hard working peoples money to those that don't deserve it, and gets away with extreme malfeasance due to his position.

I usually don't like blasting people after their dead, dead men can't defend themselves, but this man was scum.

At least in one hundred years the only thing he'll be mentioned for is being JFK's brother and and being able to get away with murder.

222
Camelot was a fantasy ---- one that the people of Massachusetts and the news media have been on for almost 50 years. As a result, a Kennedy could get away with acts and double standards that would have ended the political careers and destroyed the reputation of anyone else. Let's take a look at the real Kennedy legacy --- a bloated, intrusive federal government; out of control illegal immigration; an unsustainable welfare state; the vast increase of the invisible holocaust "abortion"; the segmenting of the American citizenry into little "communities" and "special interest groups" all vying for their pork; a repressive, bloated tax code; an effort to redefine marriage to include alternative lifestyles; a Congress that is fiscally irresponsible --- to name just a few. These are the true Kennedy legacies. Is America any stronger economically or its government fiscally better off than it was in 1962 when Ted Kennedy was first elected? No, most definitely not. We can mourn the passing of the man in deference to his family, but let's face it, his legacy has been a malignant one.
Rest in peace Mary Jo.

From the book "Chappaquiddick" which I read about 25 years ago, the author intimated that the familytook the money,butnot just because they were Kennedy supporters. Sounded tome like it was an offer they "couldn't refuse".

229 So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving,
aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would
have had to say about Ted's death

In this delusional scruntlette's excuse for a mind, a fucking wolf's life is worth more than a human's; specifically a woman's life who believed in the fat fuck who killed her. What is it about these mindless harridans that they get so damp in their panties about wolves? Is their life so barren that they have to fantasize over animals who would bite through their throats in a split second?

231 Why is this man being buried in Arlington. I thought Arlington was reserved for veterans!

Ted Kennedy was in the Army for a few years after he got caught cheating a couple of times and thrown out of Harvard and maybe someplace else. His daddy was quite upset but pulled strings and got him assigned to Europe.

It is about time to end any dynasty. We are not England. The Kennedy's are not entitled to anything. Time for a new Senator from Massachusetts without the Kennedy connection. At 77, if he were subject to the "public option" (option being an oxymoron) he would have been dead a long time ago.
In their rush to adore Teddy, people should remember that the wrong person died at Chappaquiddick.

My memorial to Edward “Ted” M Kennedy, who enlisted for a two-year term in the army in 1950. To Ted Kennedy, whose father used personal influence to get Ted an assignment as a guard to Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe (SHAPE) in Paris; which kept him out of the Korean War, in which thousands of brave American young men were dying.

IN MEMORY OF EDWARD M KENNEDY ~ Such desecration of hallowed ground. ~ A weed beside the rose. ~ Assured, not he with them would die ~ Yet, worthy, thought he, with them to lie ~ A coward beside heroes.

Sorry but I just can't agree with this. First of all, you see what enablers the MSM have been for the Kennedys. In a fair and just world you would have honest reporters that cut through the bullshit and honestly presented what a hideous monster Teddy was but that bears no relationship to how things work. There would've been a steady stream of leaks from people about what a slut Mary Jo was and how obsessed with Ted she was to the point that she was stalking him. The parents would've witnessed a systematic destruction of their daughter's memory that they'd be powerless to contradict. It must've been a difficult pill for the Kopechne's to swallow, but that was the situation they were up against.

The other day I felt the call to pray for Ted K, so I did.
Early the next morning I was bolted from sleep by an angel hovering over me.
"I just spoke with the Boss" said the angel, "And we do not want Ted!
And that goes for Obama too!"

Drunken Ted Kennedy drove off that bridge, sending Mary Jo Kopechne to her drowning death. Ted saved himself, swam across the canal and went to bed. Yep, went to bed. Worse, he called Mary Jo's parents the next day and told them Mary Jo had been killed in an auto accident .. but did not tell them he was driving. Such character, such courage by Ted "Runt of the Litter" Kennedy is no one to be saluted. I pray for Mary Jo's family and friends.

Savage himself is syndicated by a service that does him, Jerry Doyle, Tammy Bruce, and a couple of no-names... so I guess he felt justified in ripping the "big guys" who had neither experienced the censorship Savage feels he is suffering under, nor felt it necessary to jump to his defense.

So many Kings, so many deaths. The death I long for is the death of political mythologies like Camelot. After having been raised on Camelot – the backdrop of the Beatles matched only by the deaths of Jack and Bobby Kennedy as the defining cultural experiences of my youth – I have now come to resent it.
I resent the Camelot myth as if I had grown up an angry son of the abusive father who had instilled in his sons the ruthless sense of entitlement with which the Kennedy sons were raised, and longed for the world to see through the facade that protected him from being seen for what he was.
His family was American royalty, conjuring visions of handsome brothers tossing a football in an age of innocence, long before Watergate laid bare the sins of ego and power on the presidency.
While Jack Kennedy managed to create the symbolism the country could be inspired by at that moment in history, Camelot was about ignoring his flaws and seeing a fantasy.
He was a rich, sailing, East Coast blue blood, well-connected and much dissected, who could have walked away from Washington long ago yet didn’t. While his personal foibles and his celebrity sometimes outpaced his significant work in Congress, Mr. Kennedy lived the life in public service that he and his brothers, John and Robert, accepted as their lot in life.
Perhaps pulling a ship as big as this country requires a showman – perhaps it can only be done through sleight of hand. Maybe the constitution configured a presidency so weak that we need to be tricked into having enough belief in them that they can lead.
I prefer to think that we can do just fine on reality. Part of what makes Abe Lincoln the most compelling of presidential stories is his humanity – he tried and failed more than once before getting anywhere in politics, he micro-managed the execution of the war and suffered over every day of it, he struggled with a mentally ill wife and the loss of a child, his single guard wasn’t up to the task of protecting him on the night of his assassination. Lots of punishing work, no magic.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there’s a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.

Are we so different today that we can only be lead by fantasies? For the Kennedys to have been great leaders rather than the damaged sons of a criminal tycoon? Are we so disinterested in our responsibilities as citizens that we prefer to be conned into voting for unqualified, inexperienced candidates because we find their celebrity enchanting?
The press has a fascination with that family --a lurid obsession that was the equivalent of political porn -- following them through the alcoholism, the Palm Beach rape allegations surrounding Mr. Kennedy's nephew William Kennedy Smith, the accidents, the drugs and the drugs.
I believe we’re better served by the imagery of the Eisenhowers and the Trumans than the Kennedys and the Obamas. And with Teddy’s death and Barack’s presidency already caving in around him, I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to bury Camelot, and the need for such fantasies, along with them.
The choice of Barack Obama to the Presidency will likely go down as one of America’s greatest electoral mistakes. At a time of war and economic crisis, we put the least experienced man available at the helm – one who happens to be an ideologue with beliefs that fall far outside the mainstream.

The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

The blunder was made possible by the heightened power of broadcast media in swaying the electorate at a moment when journalism has been taken over by TV’s entertainment divisions. The President as Celebrity, as if pulled from the contract actors on the lot of Louis B. Mayer.

In 1985, Dodd and fellow Senator Ted Kennedy were out (with dates) for a night on the town at La Brasserie. Much liquor was consumed--that will come as a shock to those of us familiar with Ted Kennedy--and the two Senators were at one point unaccompanied by their dates. The Senators made a "Waitress Sandwich" out of some poor, unsuspecting waitress.

If you're not entirely sure what that means, let's just say you wouldn't want to be the waitress. The report had it that Kennedy threw the woman on Dodd, who was slumped in a chair, and then jumped on top of her. She was said to have run screaming from the room.

Summary of 1989 Penthouse magazine article, summarized by the Washington Times:
"When she put in an appearance in their private retreat - 'The Teddy Kennedy Fun Room' - the Massachusetts senator picked her up and heaved her onto a table. The crystal candlesticks and champagne glasses shattered as he grabbed her again and flung her on top of Dodd.
"Then Kennedy threw himself on top of the woman. The waitress implored Mr. Kennedy to 'Get off me!'
"Another waitress entered to find 'things all tipped over and Kennedy was on top, [the waitress] was in the middle and Dodd was on the bottom.' At that point the sandwich was disassembled. "

Thankfully, it seems inbreeding, murder and recklessness have got the best of the Kennedy clan. Someone needs to find their oldest living member and cut off its head, drive a stake through its heart, douse it with Holy Water and shoot its corpse with a silver bullet just to be on the safe side. Maybe then the curse will be lifted.

Also, just as Kennedy left Kopechne to die, the government will leave us to die -- either at the beginning of life with doctors being forced to leave babies who survive abortions to die or at the end of life with doctors being told to give people pain pills to prepare for death instead of pace makers and proper care to extend their lives.

267 Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver Through the wave that runs for ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot. Four grey walls, and four grey towers, Overlook a space of flowers, And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott.
Only reapers, reaping early, In among the bearded barley Hear a song that echoes cheerly From the river winding clearly; Down to tower'd Camelot; And by the moon the reaper weary, Piling sheaves in uplands airy, Listening, whispers, " 'Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott."
There she weaves by night and day A magic web with colours gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott.
And moving through a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear. There she sees the highway near Winding down to Camelot; There the river eddy whirls, And there the surly village churls, And the red cloaks of market girls Pass onward from Shalott.
But in her web she still delights To weave the mirror's magic sights, For often through the silent nights A funeral, with plumes and lights And music, went to Camelot; Or when the Moon was overhead, Came two young lovers lately wed. "I am half sick of shadows," said The Lady of Shalott.
And down the river's dim expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance -- With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott.
Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right -- The leaves upon her falling light -- Thro' the noises of the night, She floated down to Camelot: And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott.
Under tower and balcony, By garden-wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, Dead-pale between the houses high, Silent into Camelot. Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame, And around the prow they read her name, The Lady of Shalott.
Who is this? And what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer; And they crossed themselves for fear, All the Knights at Camelot; But Lancelot mused a little space He said, "She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott."

288 What, exactly, was "worth it" referring to?
What would Mary Jo Kopechne's continued life have done to Kennedy's career that her dying was "worth it"?
IOW, this moron takes it for granted, not worth even mentioning, that Mary Jo Kopechne was an obstacle of some sort, now knows it, andmay even now think that her being removed as that obstacle is "worth it".
Her death, however it happened, according to this moron removed an obstacle from Kennedy's path, and, since that's more important than a human life, it was "worth it" that she should die.
So now we can speculate on what, exactly, was the nature of the obstacle the moron Lafsky told us existed. Was Mary Jo Kopechne raped? Was she pregnant? Had she been beaten? Was she witness to some other scummy behavior? This paragraph would, of course, be completely unnecessary had Lafsky not screwed up and told us that Mary Jo Kopechne was some kind of obstacle and, for Kennedy and progressivism, better off (for them) dead.
Not that Lafsky would think there's anything wrong with that.

292 Its possible that she would have: she was a huge Kennedy worshipper and worked on RFK's election campaign. She just didn't get a choice in the matter.

This is as bad as the "Mary Jo would have benefited from Kennedy's tireless work for the elderly if she'd lived" line a few years back. It's hard to believe anyone could be that out of touch with reality.

293 Please do not forget Martha Moxley. Teddy Boy was present but drunk when she was murdered. As far as I am concerned it took 19 years too long to put Skakel( Kennedy cousin) in prison. Teddy Boy was "chaperoning" the "Kennedy cousins" at the time.
As for Mary Jo Kopechni, my only thought is, I hope and pray her face was in his head as he drew his last corrupt breath.

295 I can't believe the trolls and mobys are still trying to sell that alcoholic lout as a saint to us. He was a waste of skin, as corrupt and evil as anyone who has ever been in goverbnment and much worse than most.

296 Mary Jo's death is a tragic and heartwarming story like the man who abducted an eleven year old girl and kept her and the children he fostered by her in a toolshed for 18 years. Personally, I'd not be surprised if nothing ever grew over his grave. I am certain that the hours Mary Jo spent gasping for breath in the air pocket of the car were not spent thinking that that swell son of a bootlegging, fascist-loving father was worth her slow asphyxiation.

I give more credit to Mary Jo's parents. If it were my child, he would not have made it out of the 60's.

300 "Aye, we men are<a href=http://www.trade9shoes.com/>Wholesale nike dunks</a> sad fellows. You must take care of yourself, Mrs. Elton.--This letter tells us--it is a short letter--written in a hurry, merely to give us notice--it tells us that they are all coming up to town directly, on Mrs. Churchill's account--she has not been well the whole winter, and thinks Enscombe too cold for her-- so they are all to move southward <a href=http://www.trade9shoes.com/>nike shox</a>without loss of time." "Indeed!--from Yorkshire, I think. Enscombe is in Yorkshire?" "Yes, they are about one hundred and ninety miles from London. a considerable journey." "Yes, upon my word, very considerable. Sixty-five miles farther than from Maple Grove to London. But what is distance, Mr. Weston, to people of large fortune?--You would be amazed <a href=http://www.trade9shoes.com/>nike jordan</a>to hear how my brother, Mr. Suckling, sometimes flies about. You will hardly believe me-- but twice in one week he and Mr. Bragge went to London and back again with four horses." "The evil of the distance from Enscombe," said Mr. Weston, "is, that Mrs. Churchill, as we understand, has not been able to leave the sofa for a week together. In Frank's<a href=http://www.trade9shoes.com/>nike jordans</a> last letter she complained, he said, of being too weak to get into her conservatory without having both his arm and his uncle's! This, you know, speaks a great degree of weakness--but now she is so impatient to be in town, that she means to sleep only two nights on the road.--So Frank writes word. Certainly, delicate ladies have very extraordinary constitutions, Mrs. Elton. You must grant me that." "No, indeed, I shall grant you nothing. <a href=http://www.trade9shoes.com/>jordan shoes</a> I Always take the part of my own sex. I do indeed. I give you notice--You will find me a formidable antagonist on that point.

301 Here comes this dear [url=http://www.trade9shoes.com]Wholesale nike dunks[/url]old beau of mine, I protest!--Only think of his gallantry in coming away before the other men!--what a dear creature he is;--I assure you I like him excessively. I admire all that quaint, old-fashioned politeness; it is much more to my taste than modern ease; modern ease often disgusts me. But this good old Mr. Woodhouse, I wish you had heard his gallant speeches to me at dinner. Oh! I assure you I began to think my caro sposo would be absolutely jealous. [url=http://www.trade9shoes.com]jordan shoes[/url] I fancy I am rather a favourite; he took notice of my gown. How do you like it?--Selina's choice--handsome, I think, but I do not know [url=http://www.trade9shoes.com]nike shox [/url]whether it is not over-trimmed; I have the greatest dislike to the idea of being over-trimmed--quite a horror of finery. I must put on a few ornaments now, because it is expected of me. A bride, you know, must appear like a bride, but my natural taste is all for simplicity; a simple style of dress is so infinitely preferable to finery. [url=http://www.trade9shoes.com]air jordan[/url] But I am quite in the minority, I believe; few people seem to value simplicity of dress,--show and finery are every thing. I have some notion of putting such a trimming as this to my white and silver poplin. Do you think it will look well?" The whole party were but just reassembled in the drawing-room when Mr. Weston made his appearance among them. He had returned to a late dinner, and walked to Hartfield as soon as it was over. [url=http://www.trade9shoes.com]air jordans[/url] He had been too much expected by the best judges, for surprize-- but there was great joy. Mr. Woodhouse was almost as glad to see him now, as he would have been sorry to see him before. John Knightley only was in mute astonishment.—
