    Yes, Nimrod[^] Huffington Post: The Footnote Speaks: What Would Mary Jo Kopechne Have Thought of Ted's Career?[^]

    ... We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome. Still, ignorance doesn't preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn't automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded. Who knows -- maybe she'd feel it was worth it.

    Also: 'One of his favorite topics of humor was Chappaquiddick'[^]

      Man, you truly are an outstanding idiot, aren't you? A political blog states, with the most obvious of political intentions, that a point is arguable. Even to a fire-breather, it's arguable. But you'll call it fact and drag it into a rant on a totally unrelated subject, as if it gives credibility to either topic. It seems your real beef is with Ted Kennedy, not the Scots. Tell you what, bud - I'll let you borrow my moniker. I was just kidding with it - I can see you're serious.

        Did you ever hear about the vestigial chicken gene that codes for reptile teeth?

          And you're a fool. And intellectually dishonest. But then, 'fool' does encompass intellectual dishonesty.

              What do you mean? Biologists activated a chicken gene and produced chickens with teeth almost identical to those of crocodiles, exactly as evolution predicted they would be able to do.
