> 1. He was caught cheating at
> Harvard when he attended it. He was
> expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for
> paying a classmate to cheat for him.
>
> 2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted
> in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead
> of two. Oops! The man can't count to
> four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S.
> Ambassador to England (a step up from
> bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during
> prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his
> enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he
> served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was
> raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like
> he charged that President Bush received).
>
> 3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never
> advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to
> Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his
> "education" NEVER advancing past the rank
> of Private!
>
> 4. While attending law school at
> the University of Virginia , he was cited for
> reckless driving four times, including once
> when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a
> residential neighborhood with his headlights off after
> dark. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never
> revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in
> 1959. Amazing!
>
> 5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a
> plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test
> results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had
> shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those
> tests remained a "state secret" until in the
> 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't
> hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?
>
> 6. 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 bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy
> steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha
> Pond.
>
> 7.
> He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing
> several houses and a fire station. Two friends then
> 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, called his lawyer, and
> went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next
> morning and 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 "calling in
> favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be
> contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her
> family, before an autopsy could be conducted. 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. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held
> off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the
> problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy's
> "political enemies" have referred to him as the
> distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled
> guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a
> SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's
> family received a small payout from the
> Kennedy's insurance policy, and never sued. There
> was later an effort to have her body exhumed and
> autopsied, but her family successfully fought
> against this in court, and Kennedy's family
> paid their attorney's bills... a "token of
> friendship"?

> 8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for

> accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for
> legislation that ensured a variety of civil
> rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made
> access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded
> Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held

> 9. Since that time, he has been the prime

> What a pompous ass!

> 10. He is known around
