Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the drowning death of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne is a laughing matter.
From Ed Morrissey, Hot Air:
One of Kennedy’s close friends, former editor of Newsweek and New York Times Magazine Ed Klein, tells the Diane Rehm Show that Chappaquiddick jokes were high up on the list:[W]hat kind of jokes did the late Ted Kennedy like to tell his closest friends? I don’t 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. It’s not that he didn’t 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.
Oh, my God!
That's horrible!
If true, Kennedy couldn't have been more callous and disrespectful and shameless regarding Kopechne's death.
What was Klein thinking to tell the world something like that? Didn't he realize how offensive people were likely to find the thought of Kennedy enjoying making light of Chappaquiddick and Kopechne's death?
Clueless, all around.
