Win One For Mary Jo

Eric put up a post on the death of Ted Kennedy. He is disgusted that some Democrats are taking advantage of his death to push their health care plan.
‘Win One for Teddy,’ Say Dems Pushing for Health Reform
Well if they want to get down and dirty:
‘Win One for Mary Jo’ say those trying to prevent government take over of health care.
And for those of you needing a history lesson:
Mary Jo Kopechne

    They made her wait ten hours underwater — hardly my idea of health care:

    What was undeniable was that he waited ten hours to report the incident ? all the long night. Even the next morning, he was seen chatting casually with an acquaintance at his hotel. There is evidence to suggest that Miss Kopechne was alive in the car for quite some time after the accident, breathing the last of the air caught inside.
    Bad men can support good ideas. We can?t condemn liberalism itself on the strength of Kennedy?s character. It?s only a coincidence that the man who left Miss Kopechne to tap, tap, tap against the Oldsmobile window while he apparently tried to establish an alibi and otherwise cover his ass also spent a lifetime promoting policies that have endangered our freedoms, harmed our economy and damaged the lives of the poor people they were presumably intended to help.

    An autopsy was never done. But at least she got Ted’s version of a death panel!
