My point is that he neither worked with the man or knew him personally, yet feels justified in judging him. Again, take a look at who is speaking at the funeral. I am sure Rush will be enraged.

I never worked with Kennedy either and I feel justified in saying that if he were a Republican he would never have been elected after the drove off that bridge.

I never knew Teddy Kennedy personally and I feel justified in saying that this is despicable.

This isn’t an accusation from Ted Kennedy’s political opponents, but a nostalgic remembrance by one of his friends. Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor, tells the Diane Rehm Show:

“I dont know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? That is just the most amazing thing. Its not that he didnt feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too.”
