Senator Edward Kennedy interview from 1964

[lachute50]

i wonder how much time this guy spent in the lieberry

[GAMEBOY915]

the russains were involed

[FRSFreeState]

This must of been a very tough subject for Ted Kennedy to talk about

[k3304]

scumbag Ted is burning in hell

[shanemcdonnll]

@k3304 dude wtf are u saying that 4 u dickhead im realated 2the kennedys u cunt and even if i wasnt wtf u sayin that 4asshole

[k3304]

@shanemcdonnll , am i supposed to respect a murdering drunk who cheated on his wife because he's dead ? i hope he's turned over and frying on the other side

[starvetodeath123]

@k3304 1. You don't know shit. Were you there when they crashed in the water? You don't know what relationship they had and he said they weren't involved in any romantic affairs so I take him at his word.

2. Crashing in the water is NOT murder. It was an accident. When a plane crashes do you consider the pilot a murderer? The only crime was leaving the scene of an accident. So when you die, I think your judgemental soul is what you should worry about whether it's going to "fry on the side".

[k3304]

@starvetodeath123 , leaving the scene of the auto "accident" and reporting it the next day made Kennedy a coward. There were many missing booze bottles at the party that night.

[miller7ist]

whats the deal with Mrs. Bush

[binoculord]

I wonder why the same group that killed JFK and later bobby let this guy live,i heard you tube footage that bobby knew they killed his brother.

[goblz]

I can't imagine how painful it must have been for him to see so many of his older siblings die young.

[equinn2100]

Gorgeous man then..sexy accent!

[GeorgiaKev]

My gosh, how young he was! Greatest senator our country ever had.

RIP Teddy. We miss you.

[nordis2010]

Say the same about Mrs. Bush? What that she was a handsome young man?

[BeatleJBNBBJFKfan]

is it jus me or did all the kennedy men had a head full of hair and good looks

[goldengirl67]

He was very well-spoken, I'll give him that.

[allstar00442288]

cia killed kennedy

[dahoss2x]

Ted should have done jail time for killing Mary jo Kopechne in Chappaquiddick. The subsequent attempt at cover-up and his actions directly following were dispicable.

[BeatleJBNBBJFKfan]

@dahoss2x SHUT da F**** up da man is dead.Leave him alone.HE had a roghg life loosing 4 of his siblings at a young age. WHATS RONG WITH u.he WAS THE YOUNGEST, PLUS WAS smexy.& irish wats rong with u no respect.

[dahoss2x]

@BeatleJBNBBJFKfan I guess everyone whos father makes millions running booze with the mob during the prohibition era should be elected to the Senate for life after cheating on his wife, killing an innocent girl, then trying to cover it up by fleeing the scene. Bravo... He was handsome, until the booze gave him a gin blossom the size of an apple, and he weighed 300lbs.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x Better than a guy spent his life snorting coke, boozing, having his rich friends or his daddy bail him out of failed businesses, marrying a woman who killed an innocent boy, and yet somehow managed to "win" elections.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman You must be talking about Clinton, though it was his Mother who killed numerous patients of hers. W. Bush made millions of dollars on his own, first in oil, then as owner of the Texas Rangers. Kennedys only made money running booze during prohibition. Joe also gave Teds sister a labotomy. Too bad for Mary jo Kopechne that Ted was such a coward that he let her drown@Chappaquiddick, then attempted to cover it up. Rot in Hell Ted.

[torgman]

(1/3) @dahoss2x You know I'm talking about Dubya--you just don't want to acknowledge it.

In 1977, he created Arbusto Energy (later Bush Exploration). In 1982, family friend Philip Uzielli invested $1M in exchange for 10% stake, while the company was worth less than $400k. In 1984, Bush Exploration merged with Spectrum 7 Energy Corp. because it couldn't survive; Dubya became Chairman and CEO.

[torgman]

(2/3) In 1985, they lost $1.5 M and was bought in 1986 for $2.2 million by Harken Energy, with Dubya joining the Harken board of directors and finance audit committee. In 1990, Dubya sold more than half of his shares, so he cold invest into a share of the Rangers with his father's friends. One week later, Harken announced a $23.2 M loss, triggering an SEC investigation for insider trading.

Kinda negates the making "millions of dollars on his own" argument, don't you think?

[torgman]

(3/3) "Kennedys only made money running booze during prohibition"--Only?  What about RKO, the stock market, and commodity and real estate investments? Were they just fanciful whims while Joe invested in the LEGAL importation of spirits?

Regarding the source of Bush family $, Dubya's paternal grandmother came from a family of slave owners.

The Kennedys may be rotting in Hell (subject to a Catholic loophole, of course), but they're in a much lower layer than the Bushes and the Walkers.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman So you admit that Bush made millions of dollars on his own. Teddy went straight from Harvard, to killing Mary Jo Kopechne, then attempting to cover it up.... To fifty plus years as a Senator. How can you even compare the two? Ted Kennedy never worked a day in his life. Stupid-ass.

[torgman]

(1/2) @dahoss2x I didn't admit to anything and you didn't read what I wrote carefully. The money he made was not “on his own”; he had help from his father's friends after he failed to maintain his business finances several times.

Notably, I see that you couldn't admit that "running booze” wasn't what created the Kennedys’ wealth, but primarily stocks, real estate and investments.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman While" running his Brothers campaign", he killed a girl who was working on the campaign( Mary Jo Kopechne). I guess that qualifies him to be Senator for 50 years.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x You're nine years off; He ran Jack's Western campaign in 1960; the Chappaquiddick incident occurred in 1969. Kopechne worked on Bobby's campaign the year before. Doesn't anyone research a subject and have the correct facts before making a point anymore?

Again, 47, not 50.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman The fact remains: Ted was cheating on his wife, drunk driving and left a young woman to drown as he swam away and subsequently attempted to cover it up. This dirtbag should never have been elected to the Senate for 50 years. He never made a dime on his own(unlike W.Bush). All your research will never justify his 50 years in the Senate, when he should have been in prison. You are a stupid scumbag for defending that piece of shit.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x Your constant insistence about Bush making money "on his own", the repetition of "50 years" and inability to admit to standing corrected demonstrates that you choose to be comfortable with your nescience and talk in circles. The fact that you call me a "stupid scumbag" tells me that you 're taking this way too personally. It's time to stop this discussion.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman You are a typical Liberal. 1) You think that "you" control the discussion 2) You cannot justify your support for a murdering drunk 3) 47 3/4 is not nearly close enough to 50 for you 4)Your hatred for W. Bush, your inability to admit that he made millions of dollars in the private sector has clouded your perception of reality 5)You are a stupid scumbag, who dislikes the facts.6)Mary jo Kopechne will forever define this coward Teds life, despite idiots like you, who will always defend it.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x It must be a sad, little world that you live in, where you think that ad hominem attacks like this, repeating yourself, falling onto tired cliches and obfuscation will not only mask your immature and fact-less approach to discussing issues, but has you connived that you're acting like a rational person. Come back when you're ready to debate like an adult, much less an intelligent adult.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman "come back when you're ready to debate like an adult"? What ever gave you the idea that I wanted to "debate" you? You replied to my comments by attempting to defend the scumbag-murderer Ted"silver spoon"Kennedy. You are a pathetic LOSER. You do not get the last word. you do not run this forum, asswipe.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x "You do not get the last word."--so, that's what this is really about. It doesn't matter that you argue like a mindless ass. If that's so important to you, crybaby... 

[dahoss2x]

@torgman You attempt to defend the indefensible, "debate" about your dislike of the Bush family, tell me that "its time for this discussion to end', yet... you keep making an ass out of yourself by trying to show how "smart" you are. you are a pathetic LOSER. Please check yourself back into the mental hospital at once.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x Good for you. I hope that made you feel better.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman Nurse Ratchet is waiting for you, hurry please.

[mity15]

@dahoss2x you cunt

[torgman]

(2/3) Also, Teddy didn't go "straight from Harvard." He went to the U of VA School of Law, passed the MA Bar, ran his brother’s campaign in the West, and worked as an assistant district attorney for Suffolk Co., MA before being elected US Senator and worked there for 47 years—not 50 +.

[torgman]

(3/3) We do agree on one thing—we can’t compare these two men. Kennedy, for all of his family wealth, worked for the good of common person. Bush, on the other hand, spent half of his life goofing off and the other half rewarded with responsibilities he obviously couldn’t handle; he’s a product of influence and misinformation over competence and empathy.

[dahoss2x]

@torgman We also agree that one was a loyal American, who has never cheated on his wife. The other is a drunk scumbag who never worked a day in his life and murdered an innocent girl that he had just had sex with. Then attempted to cover it up. They both went to Harvard though.

[torgman]

@dahoss2x No, we don't agree. I don't see how you inferred that. Both men were & are loyal Americans, w/ conflicting definitions of what it is to be American--a difference that, once a simple sticking point, has now become a reason to damn one to Hell.

"a drunk scumbag who never worked a day in his life"--to paraphrase you, you must be talking about Bush. :)

What evidence do you have that it was a murder (you previously said "let her drown") & that he had sex with her? Explain the cover up.

[nzs1]

The last 20 seconds of the video.....

"If we could just keep chatting....

What do you... Do you think the civil rights bill is going to go through?"

"Oh yeah, I should think it will... It will probably go.. I imagine they get a cloture petition the end of the second week, or the third week of June."

"Is it going to be badly amended?"

"Oh no. I've seen the suggested..."

[porter4]

Mary Jo was killed by George W. Bush under secret orders from Dick Cheney. [I am joking, but we can expect this joke to become accepted theology by the left in a few years.]

[quiescency]

He was such a handsome, young man.

[TheSusirose]

So Glocker8888, what have you ever accomplished in your life? What good have you ever done? Never mind. I know the answer. You are a sad, small, insignificant person who can only be negative because you are unable to contribute to society in a positive way. Profile. Why don't you change your name to glocker666? Much more fitting. You are a disgrace to humanity.

[doubleagent14]

Ding Dong the -itch is DEAD !!!!

[torgman]

Uh...long live the scratch? :D

[glocker8888]

It's dead, Mary Jo.

The bloated drunken murdering swine is at long last dead.

Thank god.

Mary Jo, sleep peacefully. It's finally in hell where it belongs.

[chgosatrap]

Just curious; are you going to say the same when Mrs. Bush dies?

[glocker8888]

chgosatrap: oh, I see. You think I'm a bush supporter and you're trying to say that since bush is an alcoholic murderer, same as Ted Kennedy WAS ha-ha-ha (not anymore of course because he's finally in hell sucking satan's cock where he belongs), that I'm being a hypocrite for castigating Ted for killing Mary Jo etc.

I get it.

[chgosatrap]

Actually, that is not what I said.

[torgman]

chgosatrap: I have the feeling glocker8888 may have a learning disorder and is misinterpreting your question because so far he's answered it with everything except a straightforward answer.

[chgosatrap]

You are perseversating, and giving inappropriate responses to a yes/no question. Your fixation on a dead man suggests you are into necromancy. Well, that is your business, and you are free to do and think as you please.

Thank you for your time.

[glocker8888]

i think allah that filth ted kennedy is dead

[chgosatrap]

I don't know what you mean, but I am sure it is very important.

[glocker8888]

probably not

[torgman]

You think? Doubtful.

[torgman]

How can we be satisfied with your answer if you haven't given one?

[torgman]

So...what's your answer to chgosatrap 's question? It's been over a week.

[glocker8888]

torgman: yes, u r absolutely right

u got me, you gangsta you

[torgman]

And your answer to chgosatrap's question is...?

[abbadabbadolittle]

@chgosatrap She is neither a handsome man or woman.

[sondano]

In reality you don't give a fuck about Mary Jo

[glocker8888]

you libs are right

fuck the bitch, she deserved it

teddy's a saint

[torgman]

Is that a "yes" or a "no" to chgosatrap 's question?

[glocker8888]

torgman: You're right, they should just dump the killer Ted Kennedy's bloated carcass into the same pond he drowned Mary Jo in.

I agree.

But the EPA would never allow it. All the fish would get drunk.

[torgman]

So, what's your answer to chgosatrap's question?

[ZeNoodle]

Glock, I just want to congradulate you for wonderfully executed trolling. You realy got these good people angry, grats :D

[chgosatrap]

LOL

diane

[chgosatrap]

Glock is not able to give me an answer. S/he is perseverating, and giving inappropriate responses, suggesting the need for a referral for special needs services. WIAT! We need health care reform first.

[torgman]

chgosatrap: You're being generous. I just think his answer is "no" and he's using obfuscation to hide his cowardice.

[glocker8888]

yep i'm a coward

why just last night i got drunk & drowned a girl & went to sleep - but not b4 calling my lawyerz of course

LOL

[torgman]

No, you ran a stop sign and killed your ex-boyfriend in the other car. And then you called your daddy to bail you out. Nothing LOL about that.

[glocker8888]

oh yeah, i forgot about that one! LOL

anyway- gotta go. I have to order some drone attacks on innocent civilians who're sleeping or getting married and then I have to authorize the kidn.. - er, "rendition" of accused terrorists from US airports to 3rd world countries where they WILL NOT BE TORTURED *ahem* and THEN I have to go pick up my Peace Prize.

ROTFLMFAO

[torgman]

Before you go, can you answer a question for us?

[torgman]

I know asking is either going to be regretful or going to go nowhere, but what are you talking about?

[torgman]

(1/2)Grew tired, glocker8888? Must be sad to chgosatrap may have felt that you werent worth it, but I had fun making you look like a bigger jerk than you did with your initial post. But, you dont need to be reminded—you channel comment page is full of people mostly telling you that already. It must be sad when the only person who finds you clever is you, much less be so immature at 45. The only amusing thing about you is your miserable attempt of obfuscation. No job for you @ Fox News.

[torgman]

(2/2)Bless you, Ted Kennedy. You did good in the world. At least you were forgiven by Mary Jos parents long ago, so it doesnt matter how some annoying, juvenile, unfunny wing nut jackass judges you.

[pat442389]

i love conspiracies so this might mean nothing to you but some ppl feel ted may have been drugged by ppl sent by Nixon esp. e. howard hunt, the guy who was arrested in the watergate burglary and he confessed on his death bed to being involved in the JFK assassination. theres in article in Rolling Stone about it a couple years ago

[lumpagogo]

@torgman

In 1965, Ted Kennedy, LBJ and friends gave us the 'New Immigration' which was completed in 1986 by the Emperor of All Immigration, Ronald Wilson Reagan. These traditions have mushroomed into the runaway monster we have now: 100% open air, sea and land borders. "What a country!"

[torgman]

@lumpagogo ?

[glocker8888]

yeah i'll do everything you tell me to

LOL

[torgman]

Except answer a simple question, of course.

[snoops71]

You're right.

[bkj333]

This interview was conducted only a few weeks before Ted Kennedy was almost killed in a plane crash.

[Moionfire]

Wow, when he was young he was attractive...

[88xoxo]

He's wonderful! Very hansome!

[alkracker996]

I understand he's an excellent swimmer, particularly after a few drinks.

[zyphelidor]

You understand what your told. Like a good coporate media slob.

[glocker8888]

zyphelidor: so you're saying TEd Kennedy didn't drive drunk & kill Mary Jo Kopechne and then get off with just two months probation?

Are you saying the "corporate media" made that story up? Mary Jo maybe fell of a ladder in her back yard?

LOL

[dergraf1976]

FAH - Q

[celtazeezee]

TED looks a lot like JFK here. You don't look at his picture and it seems JFK is expressing his views. TED was just 32 at the time. Magnificent interview

[joshatkins94]

Yeah, much stronger accent here.

[Moionfire]

Really, his accent seems less strong here.

[themeaningoflife38]

JFK's body should be exhumed and examined.The Dark Side would be very worried about that happening.
