CWA: Kennedy Sinks to New Low in Attempt to Defame Alito Christian Communication Network ^ \| January 11, 2006 \| Stacey Holliday Concerned Women for America (CWA) says that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) is displaying the depth of his desperation to sink the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court by linking him to the alleged discriminatory policies of the Conservative Alumni of Princeton (CAP), an organization that disbanded nearly 20 years ago. “Kennedy will fail to discredit Alito, however, because reasonable people will never believe this good man would discriminate against anybody,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s Chief Counsel. Judge Alito has repeated in two days of questioning, “I wasn’t a member of CAP,” and “I don’t have any recollection of having any involvement with CAP.” He repeatedly said that he would never knowingly involve himself with a discriminatory organization. “Kennedy repeatedly asked Judge Alito whether he had read specific articles about CAP and he said he hadn’t,” said Jan LaRue. “I’d like to ask Kennedy if he read his favorite newspaper, The New York Times, when it reported last November that it had examined the records of CAP and there’s virtually nothing there to tie Alito to CAP. Kennedy is sinking to a new low trying to defame Alito, distort his record and deceive the public. It’s disgusting,” LaRue concluded. The New York Times reported on November 27, 2005: “[M]emorandum and other records of Concerned Alumni are contained at the Library of Congress in the papers of William A. Rusher, a leader of the group and a former publisher of National Review. Those records and others at Mudd Library at Princeton give no indication that Judge Alito … was among the group’s major donors. He was not an active leader of the group, and two of his classmates who were involved and Mr. Rusher said they did not remember his playing a role.” “Sen. Kennedy’s demand that papers that have already been reviewed be subpoenaed from the Library of Congress is shameless grandstanding,” stated Wendy Wright, CWA’s Executive Vice President. “Kennedy fails to realize that his questioning of Judge Alito’s exemplary ethics naturally causes people to reflect upon Kennedy’s own less-than-stellar ethics.”

Father of Kennedy scandal victim dies Interesting phrasing in the title. Mary Jo Kopechne wasn't the victim of a Kennedy scandal. She was a victim of a Kennedy. Pocono Record ^ \| 1/1/2004 \| ERIN DOOLITTLE poconorecord.com EAST STROUDSBURG — The father of Mary Jo Kopechne died in Stroud Manor 34 years after his daughter was killed in one of the most notorious scandals to plague the Kennedy family. Joseph Kopechne was 90 years old when he died on Christmas Eve. He is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Gwen. The Kopechnes moved to Swiftwater and later East Stroudsburg four years after their daughter's death in 1969. Mary Jo Kopechne was the passenger in a car driven by Sen. Edward Kennedy on Chappaquidick Island, Mass., on July 19, 1969, when the car ran off a bridge into Poucha Pond. Kennedy escaped the accident and Kopechne drowned. The accident happened shortly after the pair left a party together sometime after 11 p.m. The circumstances surrounding the accident — the party guests were six married men (including Kennedy) and six unmarried women; Kennedy failed to report the accident — sullied his reputation and ended his plans to run for president in the next election. He did eventually run, in 1980, and lost in the Democratic primary to Jimmy Carter. Mary Jo Kopechne is buried in Saint Vincent's Cemetery in Larksville, Luzerne County. Joseph Kopechne was born in Forty-Fort, near Wilkes-Barre. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
