Hilarious bumper sticker. Perhaps the liberals have forgotten this story:
On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne , a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit, narrow, rickety wooden bridge, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge and into Poucha Pond.
He swam to shore and walked back to the party -- passing several houses and a fire station -- and two friends returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew, that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, frantically called his lawyer, and went to sleep.
Kennedy called the police the next morning. By then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began pulling strings, ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Ted Kennedy tried to get his cousin, Joe Garghan, to say he was behind the wheel. Ted Kennedy was only charged with failure to report a motor vehicle accident!
Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne, and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. In versions not so kind, it is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, that he was having an affair with Kopechne, and/or that he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight.
At least Cheney didn't kill anyone. At least Cheney wasn't drunk, besides the best efforts of some to assume so. At least Cheney wasn't having an affair. At least Cheney didn't try to cover anything up. Or was Kennedy really just in a "state of shock?"

You'd rather die a horrible death than get shot in the face and upper torso? Now thats sadistic.
The fact remains that each of them did a bad deed. I wouldn't like to be with either. Did you see all of the pellets marks in the man, everyone that was there is covering for Cheney. I'm not sure if you have ever been hunting or not but I can assure you that you don't get that many pellets together, from 30 yards. Cheney was definitely neglegant. Please don't take my comment for an excuse for Senator Kennedy, they both f@#$ed up. With the high positions that they are in they should have known to be more responsible than this, but of course people who are in this high of positions believe that they can get away with anything.
no but damage to his heart may shorten his life. he HAD been drinking. there WAS a coverup effort. what do affairs have to do w/anything? both are terrible as it is. id rather FYM than either.
