You heard it here folks, Republicans defending driving drunk. If you’re going to do that stop feeding us this “Religious Right, Family Values” baloney. The fact of the matter is that he DID get not only one but two. Last time I checked putting people in harm’s way because of your irresponsibility is much more dangerous than accepting your wife’s money.

Like I said – smoking marijuana is hardly the same as driving under the influence of illegal drugs as you had stated. I certainly don’t believe that a person should drive under the influence of any drug. THIS JUST IN! Facts are that the legal drug alcohol has caused oh so many more deaths than the illegal drug mary do ya wanna. Do you even understand what you post?

Rambo, please cite a peer-reviewed source that states that there are more carcinogens in marijuana than in cigarette smoke. I can’t find any. What I have found, however, are several peer-reviewed articles that indicate that carcinogens in marijuana smoke aren’t metabolized as readily as they are in cigarette smoke. Read this:

It seems that smoking pot is a little less dangerous than smoking tobacco regarding cancer risk.

here is a prime example why a person is a repub or a dem. Now you know the rest of the story. They just aren’t equiped to think for themselves. — The Add Health study shows that the mean IQ of adolescents who identify themselves as “very liberal” is 106, compared with a mean IQ of 95 for those calling themselves “very conservative.” The Add Health study is huge — more than 20,000 kids — and this difference is highly significant from a statistical point of view.

He intentionally left her for dead in a submerged vehicle that he had driven into the body of water. Rather than try to help her or go for help, or even CALL for help, he went home and reported the accident later.
He knew that failing to help her, or failing to get help TO her would result in her dying in that submerged vehicle.
He left her there to sober up and come up with his story. He decided to sacrifice her for his reputation and lifestyle.

The details of the July 19 accident were salacious: a Regatta Weekend reunion party at a friend’s cottage with all married men (except one) and six women — the “boiler room girls” — who had worked together on Robert Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign.
After a day of sailing and heavy drinking, Kennedy drove his black Oldsmobile sedan off a small wooden bridge into Poucho Pond, trapping Kopechne in seven feet of water.
In the summer of 1969, consiglieres of the former John F. Kennedy administration — Robert McNamara, Arthur Schlesinger and Ted Sorensen, among others — convened in Hyannis Port, Mass., to write the apology that would save the young Sen. Ted Kennedy from himself.
Only days before, Kennedy had left the scene of a fatal car crash on the small island of Chappaquiddick on Martha’s Vineyard, taking the life of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne.
The second-term senator waited nearly 10 hours to report the accident and offered virtually no explanation other than he “panicked.”

That’s exactly the way I remember it, Jack. Can even still see the photo of the skidmarks on that bridge that made the front pages.
That was a different time, what with the murders of John and Robert so recent. And there was something about the Kennedy name, then. I think the public just wanted to believe he was innocent.
He should have been charged, but it just didn’t happen.

I heard all that, I believe you are using a wrong choice of words– (murdered as in intentional killing ) ,There is no proof that says he intentionally ran off the bridge for the sole purpose of killing Mary Jo. as you write “Ted Kennedy murdered ( intentional killing) Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick in 1969.” And I believe there were several attempts from him to save her, ( which could be true or false ). Hey I’m not sticking up for his actions of that night, or would I stick up for Laura Bush when a person died in a car accident she had either. Mistakes apparently were made by both. But I won’t blog Laura bush murdered (intentionally killed) that person.

The intent, Bob, comes from Mr. Kennedy’s decision to go home and wait to report the accident… knowing that she would not survive while he sobered up prior to making the call. Did he intend to put the car in the pond? Probably not. But he did not intend to get her the help she needed, in a timely manner, so that her life could possibly be saved… the intent to kill comes from the lack of intent to help.

I get what you’re saying – and you are right, Bob. By today’s standards, he would be charged (were he an “average joe”) with murder 2, or manslaughter… by the standards of those days, I don’t know what he would have typically been charged with. But he was given a pass… and lots of folks have never forgiven Ted, regardless of all the work he did trying to get past that time in his life.
Of course – then there’s the other side of the coin (in terms of the innocent bystander) – if someone does step in to try and help (a good samaritan) and it backfires, causing further injury or death, that person can then face criminal charges… all for trying to do the right thing… How ridiculous is that?

I don’t believe Laura Bush left the scene of the accident. Also alcohol wasn’t a factor in accident. And she was a teen driver who because she was talking with her friend wasn’t paying enough attention to her driving. Because the young man she ran into was thrown from his Corvair most likely he was killed outright. Quite diffent circumstances from Ted Kennedy who was trying to cover up his drunk driving at the expense of Mary Jo’s life.
