From Taranto’s Best of the Web, this report:
Sad news from the Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times Leader:
A mother who lost her daughter in a well-publicized automobile accident in Massachusetts nearly 39 years ago was remembered Saturday as a caring woman who loved talking, drinking coffee and making pancakes for breakfast.Gwen L. Kopechne, 89, died on Dec. 20 at the Valley Crest Nursing Home in Plains Township.
A small gathering of family and friends attended a Memorial Mass in her honor at All Saints Church in Plymouth.
Family photographs pasted on a board were placed near the altar, and two pictures showing Gwen, her late husband, Joseph, and their only daughter, Mary Jo, were placed on a table beneath a Pastoral candle.
Gwen was laid to rest in St. Vincent’s Cemetery in Larksville next to her husband and Mary Jo, whose life immortalized the family when she was killed in the accident on Chappaquiddick Island on July 19, 1969.
Mrs. Kopechne lived almost four decades longer than her only child, who was 28 when she died. As far as we know, Ted Kennedy has no comment.
Emphasis mine. So, at least there’s that, whatever the heck that gobbledygook means.
She was killed in “the” accident. You know, the one that involved that guy…what’s his name? I think he might be still alive.
…or not. I understand his liver’s pickled in alcohol and on display in Washington, DC.

Actually, his liver is serving as a US Senator. The rest of the body has long since wasted away. Sometime in the late ’70s, his staffers realized the nervous system, particularly the brain, were unnecessary for their purposes.
It is permissable, nay we are nearly obliged, to forget the minor transgressions of famous Democrats.
But we must never, ever, forget that George Bush was an boozing fratboy, and sneakily connived to get trained to pilot a fighter plane that was never deployed to Viet Nam, and then got his service commitment shortened, something no other person has ever done!
Thus Bush can never be a legitimate war leader, while Kennedy is lionized as a moral examplar by a whole political party.
This is one of the many reasons why IOKIYAR fails to find any purchase, over here.
May the gates of hell swing wide open for the lying fat fucking piece of shit. he certainly has advance reservations and a choice table with a view of the Chappaquiddick bridge.
Kennedy did demonstrate one profoundly astonishing fact, you know.
Under certain circumstances, you can make an anvil float.
Though, apparently Scotch works better than root beer…
