I too find it stupid and insulting to the dead woman.

In case you dont know what the context of the 'joke' is, Ted Kinnedy was in a car accident and a freind of his, i beleive a young girl, drowned. So not only is it stupid, but in bad taste. Thanks for pissing on the dead, Glocksman.

Scratch that last part of the post, that was stupid and insulting for me to say. But it's still a stupid joke.

What exactly happened, anyway? I always hear conservative wingnuts talk about it, but I don't know the whole story.

Ted Kennedy drives off a bridge while drunk, swims out of his car,
and leaves Mary Jo to drown.

Shep simplifies... here is the rest...

During the month of June in 1969, Edward Kennedy was involved in a horrible car accident. He had been driving back from a party on Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, and had driven off the edge of a bridge. Luckily, he was not severely injured; however, Mary Jo Kopechne, a woman who was in his car, was killed. She was a 29-year-old blond secretary in Washington D.C., who worked for Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator George Smanthers. Edward Kennedy's wife was home with their children and had not attended the party.

The accident was not reported until eight hours after the car had sunk to the bottom of the river. On the following Monday, Kennedy was charged for leaving the scene of the accident. In Massachusetts, a manslaughter charge is always given when someone leaves the scene of a deadly accident. This was the second time that Kennedy had been in a fatal accident; five years earlier he had been in a serious plane crash and had broken his back.

Kennedy, who was 37, said that he was simply in shock, and that was why he had not called the police.

"I attempted to open the door and window of the car but I have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and repeatedly dove down to see if the passenger was still in it. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock and I recall that I was able to get back to some friends who had a car parked in front of the cottage. I asked someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period of time and when I suddenly realized what happened, I immediately called the police," Kennedy said.

Although Kennedy was sure that Kopechne's body had not been in the car, the police found her body in the back seat. A medical examiner reported that she had drowned and did not have any bruises on on her body. This meant that Kennedy had not been trying to force himself on her.

It is not definite that Kennedy did not plan this accident, or that he hesitated to call the police to hide his embarrassment of having an affair. However, what is thought to be true, is that the reason Edward Kennedy did not run for a high ranking political position, is because of this accident. He was thought to be a scandalous and deceitful person, who would not be electable because of this. It was very suspicious that an older man was found in a car accident with a young, beautiful woman who was not his wife. This was more significant because she was found dead. This one incident gave him and his family a bad name and caused his career to derail.

Well, conservities usually blow it out of proportion, but i still cant defend what happened. From the way i understand it: he and a girl, i beleive named Mary and i think she was pregnant but that last part might've been a rumor i heard, were driving home from some party or such. He accidentally went off the road, and crashed in the water. He escaped and swam to shore, but instead of getting help he went to, i think, his father. At any rate, after they found the girl hours or days later, she had live dfor quite a while in an air pocket and so she drowned slowly becaue he didnt go to the authorties, because he was running fro office at the time.

Thats all i know about it, but the fact is that ayoung woman drowned very slowly and painfully, and it was in poor taste to use it as the butt of a joke. However, conservities tend to use it as a way to attack the whle liberal set, especially the Kennedys.

Ah yes, TheSki puts it better than i did. I had to draw from memory however.

The Kennedys richly deserve to be attacked. Political dynasties are one of the worst products of American democracy, and they are the worst of the bunch.

How? Why? All you're saying is that they diserve whateever they get, and even then it's too good for them. What makes them so monsterous, compared to other political familes i could mention, but wont because i dont want to start a flamewar.
