Subject: Rumsfeld vs Kennedy
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 20:48:39 +0000 You will only understand the symbolism of the following if you learned through extraneous history or were old enough to have watched it play out that Ted Kennedy drove off of a bridge in Massachusetts on his way to an island with Mary Joe Kopechne in the late 60's. He did NOT seek help to rescue her when he surfaced. Instead he made his way to a hotel, called friends and the next morning reported the accident. She was, needless to say, both dead and wet. Kennedy faced no type of any censure or reprimand, much less any legal punishment for this negligent act of manslaughter. Kennedy power extends wide in that part of America. You have got to love the chutzpah of Rumsfeld. February 05, 2004 Rumsfeld: Kennedy 'All Wet' About Bush Lies (2004-02-05) -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told Sen. Edward M. Kennedy yesterday that he was "all wet" when the Senator alleged that the Bush administration lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war. The verbal clash came during Mr. Rumsfeld's testimony at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing probing the state of pre-war intelligence. Sen. Kennedy began his questioning of the Defense Secretary by saying, "Don't you think some members of the Bush administration should be held legally accountable for the lies they told about Iraqi weapons, and the subsequent cover-up?" "First, with all due respect Senator Kennedy, you're all wet," said Mr. Rumsfeld "The administration has not lied or covered up. However, in general, I do believe that when a man commits a crime he should face the bar of justice. He should not be allowed to serve in positions of power in our government, and be hailed as a leader, when the question of his guilt remains unresolved, if you know what I mean." "I'm sure I do not know what you mean," Mr. Kennedy said. "But the American people deserve to know why you can't find Saddam's weapons of mass destruction." "Sometimes things are hard to find, even when you know where they are," said Mr. Rumsfeld. "For example, I've heard of a man who missed a bridge and drove his car into the water, even though he knew where the bridge was. And then sometimes you just keep diving into a problem and despite repeated efforts, you come up empty handed. That doesn't mean that nothing's there. As you know, eventually, the truth comes to light." Having no further questions, Mr. Kennedy yielded the remainder of his time. -- If you can read this .. thank a teacher ..

This all sounds nice, but if you check on snopes.com you'll find that the incident is
fictional. Those are not Rumsfeld's words. "___ Bob ___" wrote in message ...

Rumsfeld would be a great president. He's the best master of the bully pulpit since Teddy
Roosevelt and his instincts and principles are sound. The guy has great integrity. |

I can see where you have trouble with the term "misled" (aside from the obvious spelling difficulties). The girl was in his car. True. He may or may not have tried to save her; I don't know, I wasn't there. Were you? He didn't report it until the next day. Apparently true. Lied about the circumstances? Do you know the truth? No one else seems to, and no one seems to believe Ted, so who's to say? Answer to anyone for what? Bad judgement for not reporting it earlier? Failure to save someone's life? You state your proposition as if he murdered the girl. I know the republicans have wanted to pilory him as if that were true ever since, but being in the same place as someone who died doesn't make you a killer. Gimme a break !! !! !!

Kennedy's story did not match the reported facts. Answer to anyone for what? Bad judgement for not reporting it earlier? Failure to save someone's life? Causing the death of a person while drunk is manslaughter at the least. Both Kennedy, the driver, and Mary Jo the passenger were determined to be drunk at the time of the accident. Mary Jo's condition was determined by autopsy. Kennedy's condition was determined by reports of participants of the party. Kennedy has a reputation as a very heavy drinker for many years. Isn't his drinking and his extra-marital affairs the reason his wife divorced. You state your proposition as if he murdered the girl. I know the republicans have wanted to pilory him as if that were true ever since, but being in the same place as someone who died doesn't make you a killer. The scandal at the time was clearly NOT a Republican/Democrat issue. It was a scandel because Kennedy did more than just be in the same place as someone who died! He was driving drunk when he ran the car into the water. Mary Jo K. was a passenger. Only the family name and a hefty payment to Mary Jo's family kept the incident from the courts. Kennedy should be piloried because of his abuse of wealth, position and family influence. The Kennedys run Massachusetts. Gimme a break !! !! !! Really. Really, No!

Not quite true that they "run" the state," but they have been known to influence events. A small, but I think, telling story. I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts only a few miles (and several gazillion dollars) from the infamous Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. A couple of years ago, and years after John Jr.'s fatal plane crash, I was in one of the big chain bookstores and saw a table set up with various books on John Jr - not a discount table. Since I have never been shy about expressing my opinion, I said to one of the people behind the desk, "Gee, isn't it about time that you replace the John Jr. Kennedy exhibit?" The assistant manager said, "We tried to replace it a few months ago, but Mrs Kennedy (Ethel, I think) complained to corporate management and we were directed to maintain the display."

the event that I have found. http://www.ytedk.com/intro.htm Glen "LRod" wrote The girl was in his car. True. He may or may not have tried to save her; I don't know, I wasn't there. Were you?

The Kennedys run Massachusetts. Funny how there seems to be a double standard, killing someone when you are driving drunk, if you are a Kennedy gets you re-elected and all sorts of people excusing the behavior and saying "you don't have all the facts". Committing perjury (lying under oath) if you are the Democratic president gets you a host of apologists and news anchors excusing your behavior because "everybody lies about sex". Launching cruise missiles into an aspirin factory based But, not being able to have incontrovertable evidence of being on base with a host of witnesses while in the National Guard makes you a deserter and unfit to serve if you are a Bush. Making a decision based upon the best intel available (which was significantly degraded after your predecessor required that anyone recruited for human intelligence in unfriendly countries have a pristine background), the consequences if you are wrong the other way being devastating makes you a warmonger and only in it for the oil if you are the Republican president.
