Last week, Mary Jo Kopechne’s mother died quietly in Pennsylvania. No member of the Kennedy clan attended her funeral. Mrs. Kopechne, like her husband and her daughter Mary Jo, was just one more person whose life was shattered by Kennedy negligence and indifference. The Kennedys shatter lives and then move on. Regardless of what misconduct the Kennedy clan engages in, there will be always be those in the mainstream media like the Boston Globe to absolve the Kennedys of any responsibility. It was only a year ago when the Boston Globe, the Kennedy family house organ, wrote that had Mary Jo Kopechne survived, she would have benefitted from health legislation that Ted Kennedy wrote. For Chris Matthews, the year 1960 never leaves. Matthews’ infatuation with the Kennedy family seems almost libidinous."
