I have always been suspicious of the how Ted Kennedy got away with murdering his lover. Funny both Ted and Barney being from the same state. I have heard rumors that Ted was famous for taking other Congressmen to foreign brothels for some real wild parties.

I read that Ted Kennedy was drunk or stoned, so it wasn't murder, but an irresponsible accident. They didn't have laws against drunk driving back then, I believe.

If a person dies as a result of another committing a crime then the perpetrator is guilty of murder. Ted fled the scene of the so called accident and they did have laws against that. He did not stay to render aid, he did not try to get aid, he just ran away. As I recall they did have a law against drunk driving in Massachusetts then. Seems I remember reading about it. Not sure just a decades old very vague memory. Still if I am wrong about the drunk driving at some point don't you have to ask why he ran?

Barney Frank was the Congressman who was completely involved with Wall Street dergulation that lead to the housing financial disaster in 2008. Fanny/Freddy/derivitives/subprimes/ninja loans. Look no farther than Barney Frank. Wall Steet's boy would of course be as dirty as they are! http://archive.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2008/09/28/franks_fingerprints_are_all_over_the_financial_fiasco/

In mid-1996, still bogged down with the Paula Jones Scandal, a case that refused to quickly go away, while preparing for another sexual scandal, the Monica Lewinski case, Bill Clinton and his top White House team put together a political retaliation plan meant to retaliate against and then neutralize the Republican Party and key elected Republican officials. The main objective of the plan was to: Collect major dirt on key Republican officials Use the information to blackmail those Republicans as a means to prevent impeachment Strategically release the cases of those who did not back down by blackmail if the impeachment process were to proceed It was a good plan. However, this was not a plan that could be directly executed by the White House. They needed the Justice Department and the FBI, which not only had existing information on the target Republicans, but the ability to quickly gather more useable dirt.
