No offense against you personally Hoorta,
However you view the politics, lets talk about family.
You had a brother die in WWII,and in less than six years your two other brothers are murdered on national television!

Many people have a hard time in there life overcoming a single personal tragedy let alone all he carried with him.

Without looking up the exact dates I believe that the "Mary Jo incident" happened less than six months after Bobby's death,im not trying to excuse him in anyway for his actions that night but I do get tired of people after all this time throwing stones at him over a horrible accident at a very horrible time in his or any human beings life.

Whatever "truly" happened that night right or wrong he has paid the price many times over and in most cases nobody knows his politics other than,1. He's a Kennedy,2. He's a democrat,and 3. The Mary Jo incident.

He's now dying and he can rot in hell or whatever most conservatives want him to do but before you condemn someone think about where they have been before you hurl the rock.

Just as much a shame as people focusing on Bush's DD arrest years before he ran for office.

Both sides do it... either it is condemned by both sides, or condoned.

Which one do you want?

Because Mary Jo was a small matter, right? Fooking hypocrite.
