Remember Chappaquiddick
Shouting down speakers like Ann Coulter will win you a wink and a nod on college campuses, but the two words "remember Chappaquiddick" can get you in hot water, as Paul Trost recently learned when he shouted them while walking out of a speech by Ted Kennedy at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Massachusetts.
"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost reports. "Then I walked out of the student center."
Once outside he was accosted by a campus police officer who took down his information and let him know that he would be hearing from school officials regarding disciplinary action. Trost wasn't arrested, and it's not clear what his fate will be.
A teacher called him ignorant and an embarrassment to the school, but combating ignorance was the whole point of Trost's outburst. Evidently some of his less "ignorant" fellow students knew nothing about the negligent homicide of Mary Jo Kopechne that Chappaquiddick Ted got away with by being a Kennedy.

The best Ted Kennedy site by far is:

Amazing this "man", and I use the term loosely, has been a Senator of the United States ever since the day when he drowned that poor girl.
Only a DEMONcrat could remain in the Senate after doing what Teddy did.

Ted needs to cut down it looks like, more and more the baleen blanco he is. He should fear Capt. Ahab.
On post. Justice Scalia can get swamped by non-germaine idiotic questions and it is carried on C-SPAN. But when someone decides to bring up factual history about Ted Kennedy, the thought police show up to intimidate.

I have often wondered how fine individuals like Roberts and Alito could sit before the Senate Judiciary committee while Ted Kennedy questioned thier past actions and character. I get the feeling both were sitting there laughing their asses off on the inside, while pretendinding to take his attitude and questioning seriously. And on the intellectual side, he came nowhere near being a match for either. Even the Republicans will let him get away with his political stunts without reminding him of his past. Civility with this turd does not work. Every time he says something outrageous, I would remind him of his past. Sadly, a lot of Republicans would gasp.

Yeah, we tend to focus WAY too much on folks who get away with murder, don't we?
I suppose that b#tch Mary Jo had her mud nap coming to her, eh?
Defend the fat, drunken murderer all you want, you f##king moron! Moral (and intellectual) bankruptcy is something you moonbats have a monopoly on, isn't it?
