Shays Nails Kennedy on Chappaquiddick.
only took 37 years, but finally a politician has taken Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy to task for the drowning death of a young campaign worker in 1969. Most surprisingly, the comments come from the "moderate" Republican congressman from Connecticut, Chris Shays. He did it in the context of Democrats' phony outrage over the Mark Foley mess and their accusations of a coverup and calls for the resignation of House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
The best quotes:
"I know the speaker didn't go over a bridge and leave a young person in the water, and then have a press conference the next day."
"Dennis Hastert didn't kill anybody."
Mary Jo Kopechne was not available for comment.
If Democrats were so concerned about the safety of people in Washington, DC - including pages - all members of the Kennedy family would be forbidden to operatate a motor vehicle within city limits.
