B. U. G. S.

I would have more respect for Ted Kennedy if he HAD murdered Mary Jane Kopechne.

What actually happened was that he was about to be caught with her in the car in a particular position. In the 1960s, this was a very compromising situation for a
presidential candidate.

So I leave all the excitement to the people who love excitement and tell you what happened.

Kennedy knew the roads well. But he had to leave the car and let Mary Jane, who did NOT know the area well, drive off in a rush with few directions.

She went the wrong way and she drove off and crashed into the water.

Kennedy later said he was in a coma that night. Actually he knew nothing about hwat happened to her until the next morning. He was cheerful and almost fainted when he was informed.

They told him first, of course. Then he forced the coroner to have no autopsy. ALL accidents of this sort involve autopsies.

She was undoubtedly pregnant. An abortion was in order.

If Strom Thurmond or Jesse Helms or Long of Louisiana had had an incident like this, vetoing a legally required autopsy would STILL be in the news. In Massachusetts, Kennedy is God.

Kennedy called in his advisors.

Mary Jane had spent about two hours slowly ashyxiating in the car at the bottom. She had retreated from the sater into the back seat, and in the end end she was found with her fact pressed against the highest point in the car, where the last bubble of air was.

When a Kennedy aid hired a plane and was flown over the spot, he could see the top of the car under the water. His heart cry was:

“There lies the end of the Kennedy presidency!”

The Lover of Mankind had spoken.
