In his speech, Brown referred to the senator as "Sir Edward Kennedy" and called him a "great friend."


Somehow I doubt that Mary Jo Kopechne would consider him such a great friend.

I don't think they can give knighthood to a non British subject.

They can receive "Honorary Knighthood"

Anything with the word "Honor" should never be associated with fat Teddy (probably not any Kennedy).

Sir Theodore the Murderer.

Drunk driving accident resulting in death of some one is "Negligent Homicide" not murder.

Not trying to rescue her, hiding, and lying (also possible premeditated because she was preggers) makes him a murderer in my book.

I can never forgive Ted for what he did to "Little Billy" either... ::)

Not to mention she was 16.

Actually Tom, she was 28 at the time, born in 1940. 

Doesn't change my very, very, very, very, very, very low opinion of Sir Edward the Shithead!  AKA Teddy (who's head cast a large shadow) Kennedy.....

He received a suspended sentence for leaving the scene of accident....... Which is outrageous!!

Senatorial Privilege

OR Kennedy privilege.

TRUE!

Regardless, Carter would have pardoned him.

Fleeing the scene until your handlers can concoct a story moves it mighty damn close.

Can someone PLEASE tell me why the only one of four Kennedy brothers who deserves to be shot is still alive, and the other three are all dead?
