His MO in Washington: A blond in every pond
He was expelled twice from Harvard for cheating - once when he was caught cheating on a test, and once when he paid another student to take a test for him.
He once was caught driving 90 mph in a residential neighborhood, drunk, in Virginia, but his dad got him out of any problems
He got 4 reckless driving citations during grad school
While Mary Jo was drowning, he went back to the party, then walked to a hotel and went to sleep
Again, nothing accomplished in the Senate over 40 years.
Buy bye, Teddy. | | |

I get enough of that RedSox superiority back home... turns out it was all a fraud... shocker. It's Massachusetts, by the way, AKA The Cradle of Liberty.

I was moved to tears on several occasions.

While Kennedy managed to swim free, she was trapped inside. Shamefully, inexplicably, Kennedy did not raise the alarm. He waited until the next day before contacting the cops.
Mary Jo is believed to have survived for some time in an air bubble. She could have been saved?
But Kennedy was more concerned about saving his own reputation. For hours he did nothing.

Buy bye, Teddy. | Fox news, hardly his support group noted his name was on 535 bills between 1973 and 2009, including family leave act, MLK holiday, the disability act. He was critical in the passage of the 64 civil rights act.
There are many more, but I am too tired, I will post them tomorrow.
when you die asshole, you will be remembered for about 5 minutes, he will be remembered for 200 years.

I'm a great admirer of John and Bobby Kennedy but this guy really was the dud out of that brood.
Even Eunice eclipsed him.
