The prophetic words, “I’m not going to be President” were the first words spoken by Senator Ted Kennedy to his cousin and attorney Joe Gargan and friend and US Attorney Paul Markham in the movie Chappaquiddick – the film detailing the hours before and after the death of political staffer Mary Jo Kopechne – the film the Kennedy family apparently tried to quash. I didn’t shed a tear when Ted Kennedy finally kicked the bucket and set out on his road to hell – not because I disagreed with his politics (there are plenty of politicians with whose views I disagree, and I don’t want them dead), but because Ted Kennedy was a repulsive, self-absorbed, arrogant miscreant, who got off with a slap on the wrist for causing the death of an innocent young woman.
