The Blower Remembers
Saturday, when Hurley the Historian was getting really weepy about the anniversary of that date in 1999 JFK Jr. was killed in a plane crash, everybody was surprised our Kneepad Liberals in the Press couldn’t find a way to work that Dead Kennedy into endorsements for Obama and Hillary.
We even published a few “JFK, Jr. Jokes” they’ll be telling on Martha’s Vineyard during Obama’s upcoming vacation, like: Q. What does JFK Jr. miss most about Martha’s Vineyard? A. The runway, Q. What was JFK Jr. drinking at the time of the crash? A. Ocean Spray, Q. How did JFK Jr. learn how to fly? A. He took a crash course, and Q. What will it take to bring the Kennedy family back together? A. One more mishap!
Then Compassionate Conservative Stu Mahlin said, “Speaking of Kennedy Anniversaries, July 18 (today) will be the 47th anniversary of Uncle Teddy’s driving his Oldsmobile into the water at Chappaquiddick which caused the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, and tomorrow on July 19, it will be the 47th anniversary of Uncle Teddy’s reporting the incident to the local police. Edward Cropper remembered the incident, and you can see more of Mr. Cropper’s fine work HERE.
Even today in Cleveland at the Republican National Convention, more than a few mean-spirited Republicans are still asking why Teddy Kennedy was never prosecuted, because Mary Jo Kopechne would be 76 years old if she’d lived, and through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.
Also, on tomorrow’s date (July 19) in 1990, Cincinnati Red Pete Rose was sentenced to five months for tax evasion, so if Judge Nadel appears a little cranky today, you’ll know why.
And on August 25, it will be the seventh anniversary of Ted Kennedy’s sobriety. Can you even imagine such an accomplishment? Our Chappaquiddick Lifeguard has now been sober for nearly seven years!
Newsweek’s Ed Klein (told interviewer) Katty Kay about Kennedy’s love of humor: How the late senator loved to hear and tell Chappaquiddick jokes, and was always eager to know if anyone had heard any new ones. Not that Kennedy lacked remorse, Klein quickly added, seeming to intuit that my jaw and perhaps those of other listeners had just hit the floorboards. I gather it was a self-deprecating maneuver on Kennedy’s part, exercised with the famous Kennedy charm, though it sounds like one of those “I guess you had to have been there” things.
You want to talk about legacies? Mary Jo Kopechne died while she tried to free herself from Teddy Kennedy’s submerged automobile in a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island. That’s a legacy for you!
And according to R. P. George and D. Quinn at National Review On-line (Chappaquiddick Revisited: Liberals still lionize Ted Kennedy. Forty years ago, he revealed his true character): The anniversary of Mary Jo’s death passed with scarcely a word’s being mentioned of it in the Liberal Media. Perhaps it was not just a matter of liberal bias. With Senator Kennedy then seriously ill, didn’t need that excuse not to bring up the subject.
But The Blower reported the anniversary of Teddy’s splashdown at Chappaquiddick. We also carried Dead Kennedy Fan Tino Delgato’s comment: Teddy Kennedy let his mistress (Mary Joe Kopechne) drown while he wandered home drunk. Teddy gets the Medal of Freedom. Go figure!!!
In Yorktown, our Virginia Vigilante said he believed the ultimate final tribute to Teddy’s legacy should’ve been to have his body cremated, putting the ashes in an empty bottle of Chivas Regal, and tossing it in the Chappaquiddick River. It’s too bad that old bastard croaked before having a death panel consultation. (Oh yeah, Congress exempted themselves from those too.) There goes another Clunker in Congress to the “Liberal Junkyard.”
And if you think that’s just a tad harsh, check out the editor’s note on the August 26 edition of the Patriot Post: If it were a matter of mere political disagreement, we would join the calls to strike a conciliatory tone and mourn the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. But we do a disservice to him and the country to call him anything but what he was. Ted Kennedy was not a good man and we mourn the damage (or worse) he did both to individuals and to America.

Some Saint Teddy-bashing items in today’s Blower were sent in by our equally Saint Teddy-bashing Whistleblower Subscribers, but let’s face it, we could always use a lot more. WHISTLEBLOWER VIDEO OF THE DAY
Teddy Kennedy’s Chappequiddick Lie
Ted Kennedy making excuses for driving drunk and causing Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his overturned car. The water was only about six feet deep with no current based on police reports at the time. Police diver John Farrar’s testimony suggested that she survived for as long as two hours in the submerged automobile by breathing a pocket of trapped air. Kennedy spent the nine hours after the accident attempting to cover-up his involvement, while Mary Jo Kopechne was left to die in his submerged automobile.
Isn’t it amazing how many of these facts were never known or have been completely forgotten by all those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span, Free-Stuff Grabbing, Low-Information Obama Supporters Who Put The Positively Worst President in History In The White House—Twice, and get all of their information from our Obama Supporters in the Press, like the ones on Channel 5, 9, 12, and 19.
