True. I won't miss his role as a lawmaker. Ted Kennedy was, in my opinion, a bad man. But I'm not happy that he died, certainly not that he died in such a painful and unpleasant way. I would PREFER to see bad men become GOOD men.Spidey wrote:but there are a few people in the government I would be happy to see go

Chappaquiddick: No Profile in Kennedy Courage
Senator Was Haunted By Ghosts of 1969 Fatal Crash, Despite Accomplishments
By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
Aug. 26, 2009
In the summer of 1969, consiglieres of the former John F. Kennedy administration -- Robert McNamara, Arthur Schlesinger and Ted Sorensen, among others -- convened in Hyannis Port, Mass., to write the apology that would save the young Sen. Ted Kennedy from himself.
Only days before, Kennedy had left the scene of a fatal car crash on the small island of Chappaquiddick on Martha's Vineyard, taking the life of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne.
The second-term senator waited nearly 10 hours to report the accident and offered virtually no explanation other than he \"panicked.\"
\"In those conclaves a speech, not unlike the 'Checkers' speech, was crafted for him to give on TV, throwing himself on the compassion of the American people to write and call in to keep him on the ticket,\" said Edward Klein, author of the new book, \"Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died.\"
\"All of the Kennedy acolytes were there,\" Klein told ABCNews.com. \"His wife Joan was not allowed downstairs. They didn't want her to hear it.\"
