Mrs. Alito...the "man" grilling your husband is just a drunken pig with delusion of grandeur who murdered a young woman over 35 years ago. He is not fit to shine your husband's shoes.

Father of Kennedy scandal victim dies

Interesting phrasing in the title. wasn't the victim of a Kennedy scandal. She was a victim of a Kennedy.

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.

They Said That?!-Media Research Center's Best Notable Quotables by liberal journalists
Brent Baker and Rich Noyes

And The Winner Is... MRC’s Quote of the Year:

“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

– Charles Pierce in a January 5, 2003 Boston Globe Magazine article.

Kopechne died of lack of oxygen while trapped in Kennedy’s submerged car off Chappaquiddick Island in July 1969, an accident Kennedy did not report until the next morning. (She did NOT die of drowning---she had her head and neck twisted upward into the air pocket at the top of the upside down car and died in that position with little or no water in her lungs---the coroner said she died of oxygen deprivation---the oxygen in the air pocket ran out)

Alito should walk into the hearings tomorrow wearing a neck brace. The Swimmer will pop a vein or two.

- After his expulsion from Harvard for cheating, Teddy returned to Hyannis Port where he would sit brooding, sometimes for hours.
- Finally, he enlisted in the Army.
- Not surprisingly, he did not bother to read the enlistment papers and signed up for four years instead of two.
- Ted's father, the US Ambassador to England, was horrofied at the thought of his youngest son spending four years in the service, with a good chance of being sent into combat in Korea.
- "Don't you ever look at what you're signing?" he shouted.

- With one phone call Joe contacted a friend who managed to get hold of Teddy's enlistment papers.
- Ted's enlistment period was shortened to two years, a maneuver that was nearly impossible for the average enlistee.
- Furthermore, Ted would do his service in Europe, not Korea.

- Teddy never rose above the rank of private, and was discharged in 1952

Wasn't Ted Kennedy the American historical figure who said,

"Father, I cannot tell a lie. I left Mary Jo to die and got away with it. Ha ha ha."

the fact is that the six men were all married and the six female campaign workers to be "thanked" were all single...
