This should answer your question.Ted Kennedy can deny it but many of us do not believe him.
My name is Mary Jo Kopechne.
I would have been 65 years of age this year.
Read about me and my killer below:
When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past.
But now that he's become a leading Republican attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over.
It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why this chief spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 - time to say the words "Mary Jo Kopechne" out loud.
As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that most Americans already know the story of how this "Conscience of the Democratic Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker. But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.
Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.
Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final. Or why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on
tests.
As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an
evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.
It's time for Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House.
And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.
The Democratic Party should be ashamed to have the national disgrace from Massachusetts as their spokesman.

Strangely enough, not much has been heard of or from the family of Mary Jo Kopechne. They really have not said much of anything. They were probably bought off. Such being the case, why would they feel victimized? The real victim was Mary Jo, with Joan Kennedy being a close second. Ted is a drunk. What sort of example does he set? Is he a leader? A statesman? Yet they keep electing him. They never prosecuted him. Time has run out anyway.

Ted Kennedy the Biggest Hyprocite out there who got away with vehicular man slaughter Litterally. He Preaches morality from I guy that has none and has no respect for the LAW! NOR his Family check out his DRUG using SON Patrick Kennedy actions in congress, the whole family is shameless!
Kennedy and his Liberal Cronies have also shot down the Idea of a Wind Farm on the shores of Cape Cod which would be able to supply clean natural Power for the Islands. I thought Liberals were all about alternative energy until it's IN there OWN BACKYARD. LOVE THE LIBERAL DOUBLE STANDARDS YOU PEOPLE ARE SUCH A COWARDLY JOKE.
The Chappaquiddick incident refers to the circumstances surrounding the 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker for Senator Kennedy. Kopechne was killed when the Senator drove his mother's vehicle off of a bridge and into a channel after a party at Chappaquiddick Island, Martha's Vineyard. Due to the circumstances of the incident and the way in which it was handled, it quickly became a national scandal. Most people Believe he was Drunk and because of his name got away with it.

We all should feel victimized. I'm sure it could have been anyone of us.
The Kennedy curse has it's roots in the actions of its namesakes. Their dynasty was launched by bootleg and regardless of their efforts to put on a legitimate face, they have reaped the consequences of their illegal actions ever since.
