Edward Kennedy's 1969 Chappaquiddick Speech

[ts53shea]

Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy = ONE FUCKING TURD IN A BROOKS BROTHERS SUITE

[denister2008]

and yes am posting this repeatedly because i think is an outrage!! no autopsy on her body? strangers were more concern about exhuming her body to find out the exact circumstances on her death AND HER OWN PARENTS DID NOT ALLOWED IT !! i would of let this happened even if it would of cost me my own life !!!!! is really hard for me to admit that $ kept her parents from pursuing this >:(

[MrWill99313]

Herman Cain didn't kill anyone.....Wow how the press, treats demos vs. repubs differently

[megustaface]

You just know he was getting drunken road head.

Lion of the senate? What a fucking joke of a man.

[raydeen1]

Yes, Ted it is all about you ande your family. Yeah, you look real broken up on that interview.

[CraigEdsall]

What a P.O.S.

[EpicShinyLapras]

Maybe some of the republicans posting here should consider the number of people dying each day due to lack of access to free health care, which your politicians are mostly against.

Political ties are no reason to take sides in a case like this. In the world I live in, people are innocent until proven guilty, Ted Kennedy was not a murderer but just unlucky, he had little reason to kill her, it's not as though the Kennedy's were ever quiet about affairs. Just my tuppence worth.

[ts53shea]

@EpicShinyLapras <<< FUCK YOU

[sofa1231]

A made for Hollywood 'Bad Guy'.

[TheWhodatman]

What an embarrassment to the people of liberal MA. Just goes to show how much influence these socialists have had.  What a disgrace.

[hackeley]

What he's not mentioning is the fact that his wife is home pregnant and that there were not many women at this party. Mostly old men and this young woman.

But most important of all... he sort of blames society for what happened and since he waited so long to turn this in to the police the possible amount of alcohol would already be out of his system. He talks about the bridge and the bad light and then all of the sudden; the car has flipped over. Speed isn't mentioned at all... Good move!

[k3304]

Ted's burning in hell right now

[andrelebaron]

"so many bright spots". Who's he kidding. this guy was pure evil.

[IHABC8]

I found a pussy!

[fnagelsc]

This is creepy. He didn't saying anything about her family. Only that HIS family was embarrassed, and that HE wants to stay in office. freaking creepy.

[frankd1965]

@123lovegun When Obama visited Cape Cod last summer. he made a secret pilgramage to Chappaquiddick.

[alpha18412]

Oh those pesky dark spots. Can't we just forget about it.

[emtambulance]

@alpha18412 Could you forget about it if he were Republican?

[frankd1965]

@emtambulance Barak Obama when he went to Cape Cod also visited Chappaquiddick.

[themeaningoflife38]

John Dean summed it up when he said to Richard Nixon as recorded on the White House tapes in 1973: "If Teddy knew the bear trap he was walking into at Chappaquiddick. . .

[themeaningoflife38]

Check out the book "The Taking of America" its free online.There is a chapter about this incident.It says that the cia drugged the girl and Kennedy,then drove the car off the bridge and blackmailed Kennedy.It is a well known fact that cia agent Howard Hunt was in the area that night.

[Resenbrink]

What a joke, thsi whole fucking speech is about him - it ws all about him the moment that car went off the fucking bridge.

[XpresloX]

Their family used their power influential to escape him the justice

[XpresloX]

Ted had killed her and disguised as an car accident

[themeaningoflife38]

@XpresloX the cia did it

[Mobee211]

"I felt morally obligated" blah blah blah. Oh the pain and suffering YOU felt ted? How about the poor girl desperately trying to free herself from a submerged car? Filthy slimeball COWARD!!!

[cassapollard]

what a SLIMEBALL this man was! good riddance!

[cltpython]

he means the darkest "getting caught" incident of his life. hes was a scumbag all his life,and his money did a good job of covering most of it up, just not all of it. shows you that karma is a real thing to deal with. so long, dirtbag, you willnot be missed.(by anyone that matters)

[clhs1]

Wow, REALLY!?! I honestly doubt that he felt "morally obligated". AND I find it to be incredibly disturbing that he chose to discuss how "agonizing" it had been for HIM and HIS family. Not once does he mention how HER family has been affected, and he uses the majority of the speech to guilt-trip his supporters into sympathizing with him. :(

[karra22]

He wasn't a good public servent or person. I don't see why people care so much. He sure didn't care about her.

[capevideo]

It was always ME ME ME. How much have I suffered??? ME ME ME.

This guy was an ASSHOLE. AND....a killer.

[jeffmagic32]

an act of unbelievable cowardice

[pheartehcat]

I don't support Kennedy's views any more than the next conservative, but it does bother me that the man is not dead for a week and already the critics are jumping on him. There used to be a time when topics were "off-limits," specifically around death. I don't mind what people say, but I wish they could have waited a few more weeks to let the family mourn and to allow his memory to be a fond one.

[tomlacovara]

While I understand your point of view, the sad truth remains that this man,and his family innocent as they are, was granted 40 years of freedom from incarceration and was allowed to continue on in the senate after commiting a felony offence. You do not hear what he should have been charged with was vehicular manslaughter. Any other person (exept a Kennedy) would have had a hard time getting a job as a trash man because its a govt. job. I loved Jack and Bobby but wrong is wrong and right is right

[tsavodiner]

"BigBoob" what a fucking crybaby. "Take Action" I'm pissing my pants....

[harpleblues]

was the moon landing a way to distract us from ted's faux pas at chappiquiddick? july 18th - chappaquiddick. july 20th - moon. something looks fishy to me.

[jimevers9]

I dont know if you know this or not, one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself, and he would ask people Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? I mean, that is just the most amazing thing. Itnot that he didnt feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous sides of everything too.

Former Newsweek editor Ed Klein interview, the day after Kennedys death.

[MrCavalio]

usa is not a free country

[BigBob8824]

TED KENNEDY SHOULD be FORGOTTEN FOR WHAT HE DID!!!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE ALL YOU FUCKING SOBS. LEAVE HIM ALONE LET HIM BE FREE. IT MAKES ME SICK WHEN PEOPLE SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM. SO LEAVE HIM ALONE ALL YOU FUCKING SOBS LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!! PLEASE LET HIM BE FREE. I DON'T CARE IF THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY IF ANYBODY SAYS ONE MORE BAD THING ABOUT HIM I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE ACTION. SO EVERYONE WHO IS MAKING FUN OF HIM GO BURN IN HELL YOU FUCKING MOTHERFUCKERS BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buellm21200]

He felt "obligated" to plead guilty? If he could have wiggled out of it he would have. What a sorry s.o.b.

[freewngs]

In 1963 when then 17, Laura Bush ran a stop sign in a crash that killed a friend in another car. Some reports say it was her then boyfriend in the other car. So yes, she did kill someone.

[Obelisk2290]

i read it was her boyfriend

[MyCelticHeaven]

Laura didn't walk away for many hours trying to save her political career.

These were very different.

[z040812]

"This has been an agonizing week for me and the members of my family"

What about Mary Jo?

[a540guy]

anyone who believes his chappaquidick excuse is really naive. you can tell by the body language he is lying. period.

[asuzette]

Laura Bush killed someone?

[chessgame1960]

The diver who pulled lifeless Mary Kopechne from Ted's car at Chappaquiddick stated the girl had remained alive due to an air pocket for approx. 2 hours after being trapped underwater. But Ted was too worried about his damn political career to save human life. He didn't call police until AFTER her body was found in his car the next day. Do you want D.C. scum like this in charge of YOUR medical care? Ashes to ashes and dust to dust bury that drunk and lets get on the bus.

[michiganbball]

This Masshole deserves no better than to have his body cremated and his 10 gallons of ashes dumped in the Chappaquiddick. Then and only then would the good Lord possibly let him out of hell into purgatory for the rest of eternity.

[bbau01]

Why do people get so mad about this situation with Teddy, but seem not to care the former first lady also killed someone?

Both = not cool in my book, but Laura Bush gets a total pass for being a killer [which she is semantics aside] and Teddy gets roasted.

[asuzette]

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.1 Corinthians 4:5

[ChoSeungHero]

Ole Teddy was a hero for killing that May jo bitch. Why? Cause he killed the bitch for free, whereas Dick Satan Cheney and George Puppet Bush murdered 3000 Americans on 9/11 so that they could fill their pockets and the pockets of their cronies.

[loopy624]

Did your mother have any children that lived?

[ts53shea]

@ChoSeungHero <<< FUCK YOU IN THE ASS WITH A LIT HIGHWAY FLAIR

[dyne313]

Also Google "Waitress Sandwich"

It doesn't matter what evils he committed in his personal life. All that matters for the those on the left is that he took money from those who work and gave it to those who don't work. If you do that they will overlook anything you do.

Only the left can celebrate a white murderer, demonize a black Justice they disagree with, all the while still having the nerve to call people who disagree with Obama "racist"

[MyCelticHeaven]

Well said dyne313

[zippyweinstein]

While he leaves the scene of an accidental drowning, Nixon was systematically slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent South Vietnamese and lying about it.

[zippyweinstein]

@dyne313 On behalf of the left, you're wrong. It does matter what evils a politician commits in his/her personal life, both Republican and Democrat. On the other hand, I guess it's morally ok to you for American citizens to die of poverty or for lack of health care because they can't afford it because you don't want to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires by 4 percentage points!! Who is the immoral one? Look in the mirror!!

[GeorgiaKev]

@zippyweinstein  From your mouth to the Gates of Heaven, brother.

[engr1945]

@dyne313 see another similar homicide at CHAPPAQUIDDICK ON BAYOY ST JOHN on youtube. happened in New Orleans

[gofucoffee]

CNN chopped it??

NAAAAAAAH!!

[wiseoneetest]

It appears CNN edited this tape....the portion where kennedy explains what he did to save her was edited out....to see the full tape enter 'Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick Lie' into your Youtube search window. There you can see the full unedited statemets of this same speech.

[Izmond]

It's all about you Teddy, and your champagne swilling family members isn't it? Rot in hell you fat bastard!

And all you Massholes that elected him over and over again should join him.

[WINDHAMMAN]

ted kennedy was adisgrace as a human being -he is rottin in hell-a coward who allowed mary jo to claw for air in a sunken car while this fucking coward walked home and went to sleep-oh yes did I mention he walked past a fire houe-not that they could have rescued mary jo-all the kennedys suck

[buickgod]

If there is any justice in this universe, good ole Teddy is shoveling shit in Hell!

[BLCalifornia]

> Say good-bye to an EVIL man

> Google: "Ted Kennedy's Soviet Gambit"

[aacornfreedom]

OK Kennedy lovers, let's settle this once & for all. Martin Luther king stated "Judge a man not by the color of his skin. Judge him by the content of his character".

Let's apply this to Ted. The content of his character is about equal to the content of a truck stop toilet that hasn't been flushed in a week.

CASE CLOSED!!!!

[TheGiftOfLife]

Why did CNN leave out his LIES about how he justified leaving her in the BACK SEAT?? He said the water current was too strong..etc.. IT WAS A FRIGGIN POND! only 6 feet DEEP. She was pregnant and they paid off her family, no autopsy was done and blood was in the back seat. Kennedy is a lying, cheating (got thrown out of harvard for it) and Murderer (mary jo and 4.5 million abortions)

[livelovebe1970]

Laura Bush broke the law, ran a stop sign and killed someone. Conservatives never say a thing. Hypocrits.

[justmeemtsuj]

Teenage girl with friends in car, runs stop sign, hits another car, driver of other car dies as a result. Goes on to get married to man who many years later becomes president.

Married adult man with mistress in car, drives drunk off bridge, leaves her in car, heads home for the night, doesn't call police, but does call staffers and aides. Gets re-elected for almost 4 decades, continuing a life of crash debauchery while at times joking about women who died in his car.....

Yeah, same thing.

[jerzy862]

@justmeemtsuj who is this teenage girl you refer to?

[noneurbuisness777]

@jerzy862 laura bush

[IHABC8]

Pussy talk?



[SanDoggy10]

@justmeemtsuj

Man offers a friend a ride home. Was dark & he misses the turn though driving only 20 mph. Now in the water upside-down, fights for air, somehow finds the surface. Repeatedly attempts to save his friend, at the same time hoping she somehow escaped. In shock, wanders around the site & hotel room for hours before contacting police.

Scorned girl exacts revenge by ramming her car into her ex's car, killing him. Later marries cokehead future president.

See, I can twist stories too.

[aacornfreedom]

They should have put her in a cell next to Murderin' Ted!!

[clarebannerman]

Ted made one mistake---Bush,Chainey & Co planned the torture & murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent men,women,& children in Iraq & the killing of over 4000 US Troops in an illegal war based on lies.

[robh64]

I guess teddy's abortion votes dont count as murder in your eyes, but certainly a higher number than your figures against bush.

[CoolRockinPapi]

Shhh. Don't talk about the greater death and impact of that one. They didn't want money and oil, they wanted to eradicate teh terrorists.

[katmoney]

you guys are all CRAZY!!!!!

[EvolvedOutlaw]

This particular situation is suspect.

[Exumaishere]

Watch how the liberal media attempts to glorify this drunken, murderous, commie POS in his long awaited death.

[FalconMan1960]

While I DO admit we all have dark spots in our lives and that NONE of us are perfect, I have never been a cause for taking a human life. Forgetting to buy groceries one day and drunken manslaughter are two different things.

[sheenami]

Should he have drove while drunk? No. Should he have served some time in jail? Yes. Should more than 45 years of dedicated, good work be ignored because 40 years ago the police and the justice system didn't do it's job?  Should that make his death any less sad? No, it shouldn't.

[FalconMan1960]

I agree with you 100% sheenami!

[ThePhiBetaKappa]

Eat some dirt Teddy!

[WHEREtheFUNK]

Good riddence. This guy had no character. everything he had daddy paved the way with dollars

[WHEREtheFUNK]

wasnt this guy married at the time of this accident??

[manyleaves]

For those who want to know more about the Kennedys, read "Bobby and Jackie" by C David Haymen. It just came out a few weeks ago. Now that they are all gone, their friends and associates were more apt to spill the secrets. The real stories that went behind closed doors would make your hair curl. Why do we have to glorify people, our supposed leaders, when they are just as human and many times more screwed up then we are? This family was extremely screwed up and many times corrupt as hell.

[Boomer1949]

It's true that our hero's are not as squeaky clean or inhuman than any one else. But once up on a time, a public figures private life was just that private and respected.

Today it's all about the smut, therefore there are no hero's to look up to, each one in turn, is torn down and dragged through the dirt. Does it serve mankind to do this? I don't think so.

[manyleaves]

You do have a point. No one should be put under the microscope. We all screw up now and then. But with this man, he did so many disgusting & horrible things, you can't ignore him or his actions. The media shouldn't pretend he was some sort of saint. He acted like an elitist who thought he was above the law. Frankly, society let him get away with it because he was a Kennedy. If it was you or I, we would have never rose to his level of power. We would have been rotting in jail 4 murder. Truth.

[Boomer1949]

Besides the car accident, what vile and disgusting things did you think he had done?

[manyleaves]

Read the book and find out for yourself. I also sent a direct letter to you with more info. Have a good day.

[Boomer1949]

I thought the book was about Jackie and Bobby. Not Ted.  Plus I find it very distasteful that someone would wait until someone is dead to smear their name, when they no longer have anyone to defend them, or dispute the claim.

[manyleaves]

Do you find anything distasteful about JFK lining his girls up in advance before he arrived in a new town and then asks when walking through the hotel room door asks, " Where are the broads? Do you find anything distasteful about Teddy bringing a trollop at a party for the king & queen of Belgium; both plastered out of their ass. The trollop urinated all over the couch they were sitting on and Ted didn't even notice until the urine rolled and hit his pants. Just a few real events. Great leaders!

[Boomer1949]

I found what you just wrote very distasteful. The man just died for crying out loud.

[manyleaves]

The truth hurts doesn't it. It's all true & you know it. I'm sure you have just as much regard for Dick Cheney. I'm sure you would give him just as much respect as you are doing for a former drunk, a former male whore, &murderer. Move on. Camelot never existed. It was created literally by Jackie Kennedy after the death of JFK. I considered him elite scum while he was alive and I'm not going to suger coat it because he is dead now. Keep drinking the kool-aid dear. Socialism will look good then.

[manyleaves]

BTW, they kept their mouths shut in order to continue living. M. Monroe is a prime example.

[FalconMan1960]

I agree with you, manyleaves. The truth hurts.

[fredcarrow]

Simply unbelievable he continued to serve in public office. Imagine the Kopechne family having to watch this cold callous display of "remorse".

[DeagleBeagle]

of course he has to act sorry, would you want to go up there all jokinglike about someone's death?

[mcmiljr]

There's something disgusting about him considering his political future and speechifying so soon after the wreck. Those pretty Kennedy eyes . . . they make you want to believe in the guy don't they?
