"Late in the evening of July 18, 1969, Senator Kennedy drove away from a party on the island of Martha's Vineyard. A campaign worker, Mary Jo Kopechne, was his passenger. Kennedy was supposedly heading for the ferry to the mainland, but instead he turned onto a dirt road which led to a small bridge across a pond. His car went over the side and crashed into the water, which was just deep enough to submerge the car. (See the photo above, which shows the police chief sitting atop the vehicle.) Kennedy struggled out and returned to the party site, telling two men there what had happened. All three then returned to the bridge, but they accomplished nothing. Kennedy then went to the site of the ferry crossing and swam back to his hotel, having missed the last ferry of the night. Nobody called the police. The next morning, a passerby noticed the sunken car and called the authorities. A diver found the body of Mary Jo Kopechne inside. Meanwhile, Kennedy was on the phone to his lawyers, who swung into action. The court records of the subsequent legal charges were sealed, which is unprecedented in situations like this. Kennedy pleaded guilty to the charge of leaving the scene of an accident, and received a 2-month sentence, which was suspended. He returned to the Senate with broad sympathy and acclaim. He recently acquired a new pet, a Portuguese water dog, which he named "Splash". Last year he wrote a children's book about his dog Splash. Folks, you just can't make this stuff up."
I think another senator had his own Chappiquiddic at my airport. Are you seriously calling on a senator to resign for an incident that is fourty years old? Thats funny.

From Tammy Bruce's website.......
For every one incident of a Democrat doing something criminal/perverted/stupid, there are 9 Republicans who do something similiar, if not worse. Period.
Oh, and PS: please try to come up with something that isn't more than 10 years old, and please don't bring up something that involves consenting adults.

Let's face it, if you are a politician and are living a lie, committing a crime, or some sexual indiscretion.....be a Democrat. They will embrace you and re-election is in the bag!

So he may have a dog named “Splash”, I worry every time I travel over water on a bridge too.
But forty years of this,,,,,,, bury it ! It’s over!
I disagree. His actions were so cowardly he should be haunted by them for the rest of his life. It's not like it was his daughter in the car drowning while someone skipped home to have time to get his story together and sober up.

I also love how they bring up Bill Clinton and Barney Frank, too.
They only remind people that Democrats have "normal" sex with consenting adults.
If theres a sex scandal that involves children, animals, wearing dirty diapers with hookers (like Dave Vitter), or bathroom stalls, 9 times out of 10 its a REPUBLICAN.

No, you've got it all wrong - they're not really Republicans, their actually liberals POSING as Rebublicans....
