It is interesting now that it has been announced that Sen. Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor how everyone seems to be boohooing. Certainly as someone whose immediate family has been affected by terminal cancer it is sad. Nevertheless, it is SOOOOOOO CONVENIENT that the news media amid all of the tears has forgotten about the female victims of Sen. Kennedy....Mary Jo Kopechne and even his former wife,, Joan Kennedy, who he ruined with his own womanizing, alcohol and drug abuse.

The Kennedys would love the world to forget that in 1969, Edward Kennedy drove a car off a bridge into the channel between Chappaquiddick Island and Martha's Vineyard. Kennedy managed to escape, but his passenger, campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned in the submerged car. Kennedy left the scene of the accident and did not call authorities until the following day. Kennedy pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and received a suspended sentence of two months in jail.
