Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
That's sad. I'm feeling all nostalgiac now. Regardless of what you think of his politics, he was a symbol of his times for anyone who remembers the '60s. It's kind of like the end of an era. I can't really imagine what kind of decisions he had to make to continue on in politics after his brothers were killed.

Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
He probably would have been a shoe in for president if he never killed that girl in the car accident in 69.
Im surprised he was even able to continue in any political career after that incident. I bet if that happened now days with the 24 hour news channels and so many other outlets of media/news he wouldn't have been able to continue.

Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
Maybe you are right, but i also think it kind of depends on the esteem to which people are held. The fact that he continued on successfully speaks to the high regard people had for him, and were prepared to forgive an accident. But then again, there is a much higher awareness of the evils of driving drunk now, so maybe you are right, and maybe he wouldn't have driven that car nowadays anyway.Originally Posted by Wadeb_21

Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
Weren't you the guy who started a petition to get Kirkland banned when he made similar comments after someone died (I think it was Tim Russert)?
Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
Yes but as far as we know Tim Russert never killed anyone, never helped anyone get aquitted of rape, invented HMO's, supported the IRA or wrote anything having to do with the No Child Left Behind education bill.
But fine, I'll make my own thread and if you guys want to bitch at me in that thread fine, I'll leave you guys to actually feel sorry for that bastard.

Re: Ted Kennedy Dies
That is straight up disrespectful.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

or you could say BECAUSE he was a Kennedy & of 'good character' he only got a slap on the wrists for leaving the scene of an accident.
