He was in a car accident, killed his passenger, left the scene, and didn’t report it to police until 10 hours later (probably enough time to sober up). [http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/11/shays.kennedy.ap/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/11/shays.kennedy.ap/index.html) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kennedy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kennedy) I thought I’d share this because I’m guessing like me, many of you had no idea about this. But unlike me, a lot of you probably like Ted Kennedy. ---

“The bridge at Chappaquidick has killed more people than …(insert your favorite bete noire\* of the day)”. Example: The bridge at Chappaquidick has killed more people than Three Mile Island. Alternative: More people have died in Ted Kennedy’s car than…(insert your favorite bete noire\* of the day)". \ ***bete noire** \bet-NWAHR, _noun_: Something or someone particularly detested or avoided; a bugbear. The “good Kennedy’s” got killed and we were left with fat, stupid Teddy. Sucks. ---

Guess I have been under a rock. I can honestly say I never knew about it. I find it amazing it didn’t come up more during the Cheney hunting incident though. I did find this last night while I was reading about it though and had to laugh. “I would rather hunt with Dick Cheney than drive with Ted Kennedy”. ---
