No Justice, No Rest in Peace
by Andrew BreitbartThis week’s Washington Times column:
With the deaths of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Michael Jackson, the summer of ‘09 marked the merciful ends to Camelot and Neverland, iconic American fairy tales whose story lines should have come to merciful ends long ago when their charismatic protagonists took dark and irredeemable turns.
Our country was not built to support blood dynasties or to elevate the rich and famous to a higher ethical or constitutional plain. But through the power of celebrity, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Jackson worked the media to twist truths. They manipulated their constituencies and fans to obscure their misdeeds. They played the faithful to confer this manufactured innocence on the rest of us. And, in the end, they placed themselves above the law.
My condolences go to the Kennedy and Jackson families, who should not be stained by the sins of their kin. But there is no time like the present to ensure that those masterfully produced, over-the-top, all-star televised funerals don’t serve to canonize talented and charismatic men who failed to own up to their public wrongs and who continued to flaunt the behaviors that got them into trouble.
The result was Mr. Kennedy needn’t do more than show up for work to atone for his calculated selfishness. Without apology or contrition, Mr. Kennedy crafted a public career in which he spent taxpayers’ money – certainly not his own – to make up for his unspeakable behavior.
Given that President Obama’s flailing medical care reform movement is in the process of being given new life under the fallen senator’s name, our national health now depends on talking honestly. As Mr. Kennedy’s political defenders would put it, it’s time to speak truth to power.
In a time of grief, the young senator framed his future as a referendum on Camelot. And the media didn’t call him on it. The fix was in.
Forty years have passed since Chappaquiddick. Immediately after the accident, Mr. Kennedy scrambled to organize the best and brightest to save his career, rather than to save the life of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne.
Before the facts were gathered, as her family was being prepped for a cash payoff, the Massachusetts voter – in “shock” and “denial,” the beginning phases of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s grief cycle – was asked by the senator in a carefully constructed televised speech to look away from his misdeed in the name of his family’s recent tragedies.

NO offense to either of them but I am also tired of them.
Both in a sense, self destructed out of sheer lack of discipline.
Both should have grown up or out.
Both are gone.
Condolences and now, lets move on.
Good piece!
You're dealing with people who are incapable of moving on.
The modern liberal mindset does not live in the present. Some dwell in the past, some obsess over the future, but not a single God damn one of them takes into consideration the needs of right now. They know where they've been, they know where they want to go — but both types of knowledge are utterly useless without knowing where the hell you are.
They know where they want to go, but they don't know how to get there from here — they just charge in that direction while ignoring that there may be a million pitfalls, potholes and minefields between here and there.
Right on, Andrew. Great article (as always). In a world-turned-on-its-head, count me as a fellow rube…who will always prefer 'justice justice'. And speaking 'truth to truth'.
Exactly right, Andrew.
Fantastic. I alienated more than one person this week because I refused to rewrite history, and we should all thank Breitbart for taking so much of the heat for us. I wish the current and future generations of the Kennedy family the best. The Kennedys named Shriver in particular seem to be fine people, but I pray the farce called Camelot was buried with Teddy.
That is fantastic. Testify Andrew! You launched it out of the park. Kennedy and Jackson's celebrity are examples of everything that is wrong with America.
Can I be a rube to?
I watched a Documentary last night about the Kennedy's on PBS no less. I was unaware that Ted had been booted from Harvard for cheating and that his family (according to Pierre Salinger) paid off another Democrat to the tune of $100,00 in 1962, to keep him from running against Ted in his first primary race for the Senate. None of which I have heard about this week.

I am so tired of hearing my liberal friends say things like, "Chappaquiddick cost Teddy the presidency," as if Teddy was somehow entitled to be president and not being president was adequate punishment for causing the death of a young woman.
Quick solution: ditch your liberal friends.
Quick solution: ditch your liberal friends.
Anybody who knows about liberalism and its destructive impact on American society, and yet still calls themselves a liberal, needs professional help.
my son to me the day kennedy died: i prefer to mourn mary jo's passing today instead. made me proud to be his momma.
When he was kicked out of Harvard, he went to UVa Law school where is was embroiled in other shenanigans, mostly traffic related.
I suppose my best Ted Kennedy story was when I was, ugh, relieving myself in a stall in a restroom of the law library and with nothing else to do, read the graffiti (placed by others with nothing to do).
Most memorable one – I remember to this day after after 40 years, is "JUST THINK – TED KENNEDY SAT HERE".
Now we know what the dems new message will be on health care. But even though Ted Kennedy couldn't get the american people to support it while alive, nothing has changed that now that he is gone to his reward. The people will still reject it despite any name change.
Kennedy Care = Obama Care = DEATH CARE!
Chris Matthews proclaims Obama to be 'the last Kennedy brother'.
Obama proclaims Senator Kennedy 'the soul of the Democrat party".
But neither Obama nor Matthews realize how little there is to be proud of either claim, nor of the monumental depravity of the Democrat party 'celebrating' the likes of Senator Kennedy as its 'soul'.
I see this as the same old template used over and over. In the case of Jackson, the mindset is racism is a tool to be used for political gain. In the case of Kennedy, behavior that would not be tolerated elsewhere is overlooked. In both cases, the justification is that "the end justifies the means." Now let's see, that sounds vaguely familiar. Where have we heard that before? . . .
" But the rubes – those of us skeptical of moral relativism, media manipulation and the cult of celebrity – prefer "justice justice."
Only when the "elite" among us begin to see things like us – and not in the unrealistic fairy tales crafted by our liberal betters – will Americans begin to live happily ever after. " ~ Andrew Breitbart
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. ~ Benjamin Franklin
The silent majority are not going to voice the moral failings that these men displayed during their lives. Nor will they find it appropriate to point out that they would rather pay hush money than own up to what they did wrong.
Great article. Thanks for putting into words ideas that I have thought about often whenever Kennedy's name was in the paper. I could never understand how he ever got a free pass. Actually, both got a free pass.
Thanks again.
My friend sent me this link of the late great reporter, Michael Kelly, who wrote a long piece on Ted Kennedy for GQ magazine in 1999. Now – this was 20 years ago – but even back then Ted was a debauched, drunken sot. It's depressing reading – but it nails the alcoholic, womanizing loser.
http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_...
Oops! Excuse me, the piece was written in 1990 (not 1999) which, of course, makes it nearly 20 years ago.
Seems to me that the means have become the ends!
I do not believe a political career is worth a young woman’s life. Period. I don’t think Mary Jo Kopechne was proud to die for Ted Kennedy. I don’t think her horrifying death was a necessary human sacrifice to enable his “fortunate fall.” Ted Kennedy was not the victim of Chappaquiddick. Anyone who believes those things is a degenerate who should be shunned by civilized people.
On the bright side, with Ted Kennedy's grandson's intercession (below), Statists lose their nonsensical "separation of church and state" argument:
"For what my grandpa called, 'the cause of his life,' as he said so often, 'in every part of this land, that every American will have decent quality healthcare as a fundamental right and not a privilege,' we pray to the Lord."
Congregation: "Lord hear our prayer."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75L9KvTlcY
Also on the bright side, Liberal feminism is, thanks to Ted Kennedy, now officially dead according to Newsweek's Eleanor Clift:
“For some women, reverence for Kennedy stopped with Chappaquiddick. The rest of us have a very different view: Kennedy had the gift of time to make amends, and we were the beneficiaries of that.”
http://www.newsweek.com/id/214252
As 'ChappaquiddiCare' sinks under PrezdumB.O.'s Titanic Fail, let us give thanks to Almighty God.
Amen!
Excellent article. I kept thinking, as the shows I wanted to watch were preempted by another wake-memorial-funeral-media bs infomercial, that I hope no one else "of such stature" dies for a while.
Andrew another great article. I grew up in the Boston area, I'm half Irish and all Roman Catholic. My grandfather was a political boss in the democratic party. I grew up in and around the Kennedy machine. I even met Ted when he was running for his senate seat after he committed negligent homicide. My grandfather knew and worked for old Joe, he worked for JFK and he was the only one he like. RFK was as ruthless as the old man. Teddy he told me was the dumbest one in the bunch. I have heard all the horror stories in Boston politics going back to James Michael Curley, Joe Kennedy all the Italian and Irish mobsters in that area. As a kid I thought JFK was the greatest President ever, I even have a PT 109 tie clip that JFK took off his tie and gave it to my grandfather. This story was later verified in 1979 by Dave Powers who had a memory like a computer. I met Dave at the JFK library with my dad and introduced myself and I mentioned my grandfather. He told me things about my grandfather I never knew. It was in the mid 70s that my grandfather told me all about the inner workings of the Kennedy machine in Boston. I begged him to write a book and he never did, he was old school, he took it all with him. I have always felt that Ted Kennedy hated America for killing his two brothers and he went so far from what JFK believed that he was going to ruined this country forever. He changed the results of immigration in 1965 which has ruined this country for a 100 plus years. He created a moocher society and HMOs. Then he wanted to get our government in every aspect of our lives. He should have stayed a rich spoiled playboy and left all of us alone. I was sick to my stomach of all my fellow Bostonians morning him as if he was JFK who was shot down like a dog. This man got away with the murder of a young girl and didn't report it for over 8 hours and tried to get his cousin Joe Gargan to take the fall. This level of arrogance you only see in the Democratic party. If this was a republican senator he would still be in jail with no possibility of parole. The only thing we can breathe better about that this is the last Kennedy funeral and the last of the sons by two shanty irish who became rich through bootlegging and fudging the stock market. Joe Kennedy did all he did because of his hatred of the Protestant Brahams at Harvard who would not allow him to join their famous club. He was determined to make them accept his Irish Catholic background and be the first Irish Catholic President. He didn't make it because of his pro nazi views. Buy he forces his sons into this life and they all paid with their lives for their fathers hate.
Even worse are the ones that say "Chappaquiddick was over forty years ago" as if there was some sort of moral statute of limitations on negligent homicide.
"'Who knows – maybe she'd feel it was worth it,' Melissa Lafsky wrote."
I have no idea who Lafsky is and I also have no idea how she sleeps at night.
So let me see if I have my Leftist scorecard properly filled out…
Good:
Molestation
Negligent homicide
Evil:
Not aborting baby with Down's Syndrome
Do I have that right?
There are a lot of Kennedy family members, and judging by the low ratings of these comments,
most of them are apparently logging on here to rate "thumbs down"
on the positive comments and concurring opinions here in the comment section.
Just remember kids, every time you log on to a conservative website, 'The Man' lights a carbon dioxide producing cigar to celebrate. You are killing the planet by casting a knee jerk vote.
There, that ought to chase off the little b@$+ards.
Congratulations, Andrew on a great column and the upswing in your readership!!
Only when the "elite" among us begin to see things like us – and not in the unrealistic fairy tales crafted by our liberal betters – will Americans begin to live happily ever after.
Amen brother. Bravo Andrew !
Caught on Video: Did JFKs Granddaughter Flip Off Some in Crowd at Funeral?
http://tiny.cc/7m2jS
Thanks for the link, Carolyn it was an interesting read. I miss Michael Kelly.
Andrew, thank you for writing an article that should have been written years ago. The death of Mary Joe Kopechne and the circumstances of how and why she died should have been noted long before now. How sad that a country such as America should have forgiven Edward Kennedy so blindly without even questioning the facts — which in my estimation, never really added up. Edward Kennedy was not a courageous or honorable man. The night that Mary Joe Kopechne died he showed himself to be a pitiful and uncaring person thinking only of his own survival.
Good:
Reporting law-abiding citizens who oppose Obamacare.
Bad:
Wiretapping known international terrorists.

No worries. Since "CD" currently enjoys a +97 'reputation score', the 'thumbs up/thumbs down' protocol is obviously meaningless.

1 Brother a murder, 2 Brothers were murdered, One brother Died in WWII, and a father that was a bootlegger. That's some of the history I know about the Kennedy's.
Andrew became more infamous after his post death tweets. The whole left wing and the Capitol heard about it. Too bad for them. Live with it.
If I understand the current rules correctly, in-ground burial at Arlington (because the cemetery's acreage is diminishing rapidly) is now reserved for those who were awarded either the Purple Heart or at least the Silver Star or above, or who were ranked 0-6 or above. Other vets who do not meet those requirements are supposed to buried in the Columbarium, an elegant set of structures designed to interr cremated remains. Now, which of those criteria above did Teddy meet? If my information above is correct, then it appears that even in death he flaunted the rules. That's a slap in the face of vets who served honorably, something too many liberals do unhesitatingly.
"Caught on Video: Did JFKs Granddaughter Flip Off Some in Crowd at Funeral? http://tiny.cc/7m2jS"
It sure looks that way…classless, privileged, unaccountable, and perfectly demonstrates the "rules don't apply to us" attitude of so many in that clan
The myth of the Kennedy's is just the latest liberal lie that goes back 150 plus years from abolition to socialism disguised as the New Deal and Great Society. The libs are expert at revising history thru the media and school systems. At least half the people in this country unfortunately don't give a shit and that's how the libs get away with it. The left glibly reduced Mary Jo Kopechne's death to a footnote as they have millions of unborn babies and we on the right wonder—How do you sleep?
This is something I've often thought of while stuck in university political science courses. To quickly refine your idea, I'd say that they either know where we've been, with a focus almost solely only on the negative; or they know where they want us to go. Most can't wrap their heads around both and how that affects where we are now.* Then they dispose of all context to the contrary of their beliefs either way.
Then out of this lack of context comes judgment and condemnation of the past based on today's societal norms…which I find incredibly ironic because they say we have to do such for our own vastly culturally and socially different past, at least compared to today's society; yet applying our same modern norms and standards to analyzing other modern societies (or any non-western civilization of the past) is verboten.
All of this results in any dialogue about where we are now, where we want to go, and how to get there being disingenuous at best.
*While most of this rant is gleaned from my experience talking with liberals, I honestly think the past vs current vs future perspective part is a normal human condition thing. I've met just as many conservatives who have the same reasoning problem IRL that this part can't just be applied to one side. The difference between the two sides just tends to be what aspects of the past to over-hype.
It is amazing to me the same people who were upset that Bush might have used his family's wealth and influence to get advantages not available to the rest of us (serving in Vietnam) are the same ones who don't seem to mind at all that Ted Kennedy used his family's wealth and influence to gain advantages not available to the rest of us (avoiding charges of negligent homicide).
So Kennedy wanted 'universal health care'? I will assume that I would get the same treatment he gave to someone actually in his "care". Universal MaryJoKopechneCare for us all!
As always, perfectly stated without crossing any lines. Way to win people over by appealing to their common sense side!
Great to have them on record as of twenty years ago. It is interesting that the fawning in the later end of the piece came to pass.
It is my belief that as drunk and disgusting as Ted Kennedy was–he was not stupid–and, of course neither are his "staffers." They have been planning for his demise and legacy since this article was written. (Including getting the new wife Vicki to sign on.)
He represents ALL that is wrong with American politics…but you know that, Carolyn.
You could say that Mary jo Kopechne was a victim of water-boarding. Teddy's gone and good riddance.
Ignore at your own peril. ;^)
There have been plans in place for years and years to use JFK, RFK and fatboy legacy for healthcare.
Nothing would surprise me about the timing of this guy's final breath.
Interesting that he was "ready to go" during THIS tense congressional recess.
Enter Teddy's poor little grandson at the funeral, charged with politicizing a prayer because the gutless pols around him didn’t have the balls to do it themselves.
I’ve been informed by liberal amateur theologians that it’s perfectly kosher to pray for universal health care — on TV, in the middle of a national debate, at a funeral service ostensibly devoted to grieving over someone, by exploiting an innocent child — because, um well, Jesus would have supported it.
I’m happy to discover that the left’s decades of righteous outrage at Christian conservatives for mixing religion with politics was, as so much else is, simple partisan posturing, but I’m unfamiliar with the sermon where Jesus called for Caesar to create a public fund to heal the sick.
To use this funeral as an excuse to promote national health is beyond despicable. Have these politicians no shame at ALL?

Aren't we all so sick and tired of hearing about the Kennedy's tragic history? It is indeed a history: a history of hapless, egomaniacal idiots putting their lives in danger.
JFK, that golden boy, insisted on riding in an open limosine through the Dallas streets. This way, the public could get a more glorious view of Him.
We know all too well what followed.
As a fallen away Catholic (parents fell away actually)…I always respected conservative Catholics but I have to say that this family (and Pelosi and Biden and all the other hypocrites) give me great pause.
The Catholic church okaying murder of young women and silence or support of abortion is not a position. Also, I am suspect of what they call "faith-justice" which is so much socialist-communist garbage.
I realize a man has died, and apparently there will be those who will miss him. Having said that, I find the whole group of Kennedy's a group of abhorrent, entitled, elitist snobs who think they're above the law and the rest of us mere mortals, and if I NEVER have to see or hear about any of them again, it will be TOO SOON. Enough already! Having that kid pimp out TeddyCare at the funeral was the final straw. We get it. You people have no shame. The smoke and mirrors that was supposedly Camelot is over, and THANK GOODNESS. Teddy is facing the ultimate justice now, and I doubt the the man upstairs will be interested in hearing any of his supposedly rip-roaring Chappaquiddick jokes or will applaud his never ending efforts at the perfect "waitress sandwich". At least I can cut the TV back on now.
Me three!
We should start a twitter campaign. Try to get as many people as we can to type: I am Mary Jo Kepechne.

Michael Jackson may have S0d0mized a few young boys, but Teddy Kennedy f*cked an entire country in the *ss for fifty years.
Thank you, Andrew. You have brought balance to the outrageous show of "American Idols" that we happen to have transfixed into our psyche. It seems sad that we, with this outrageous Bill known as "KennedyCare" now, will actually do what Ted set out to do – destroy those who made him (from his own view) look weak – then men and women wo served and lost their lives, and those vets in their twilight years, now facing "Care Committees" that will more than likely pull the plug since they are not young, hip and vote Democrat. What a sad day for those thousands of "Private Ryan's" out there. It almost begs the question: are we justified in further existence with such lack of morals or virtues?
I am sick and tired of any and all adoration of people that do not deserve it. Michael Jackson as a young kid, a young man was a musical genius, that guy died decades ago. He was a creep, a pediphile regardless of any testamony. There was mountains of evidence and money that makes me know the reality.
Kennedy for whatever people think he was is nothing what I have known in my lifetime. He was never a common man's advocate. He drank hard, killed a woman and never owned his sin or his own self destruction.
Lafsky needs to spend a few minutes in a submerging car. I think the sheer terror that would accompany such an experience would wipe away any horseSH)T about how Mary Jo would "feel it was worth it" that her life, her prospects for marriage and children, her very existence would be worth dying for "Teddy", so that he could go home and sleep it off and plan his story, and then spend the rest of his life asking, "Have you heard any good Chappaquiddick jokes?" What a joker that Ted was! What a laugh riot! What a load of crap! Lafsky needs a boot up her bum.
Tell it like it is Andrew! The “Swimmer,” has left us, and “The Gloved One” is gone, sympathy to the families, but we are better off for their departure.
Thank you for posting Michael Kelly's 1989 article-a breath of .16% BAC reality away from the saccharine nonsense of the alst week.
This column was the best read I've had in a while.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy in the passing of both men is that neither even ostensibly changed the direction of their lives after the rather putrid events that marred both of their careers. That there is a general unwillingness to acknowledge the failings of the two men in the mainstream media is also unfortunate as they both could serve as examples to younger generations of the perils that lie for even the most public successes who do not learn from their mistakes. Instead popular culture and the Democratic Party are too busy selling CD’s and healthcare reform to take advantage of this – the true definition of a “teachable moment.”
Mary Joe Kopechne was not available for comment ….
I hope Ted has to answer for secretly communicating with Russia during the Reagan years. I mean, the guy told the Russians, he cold sway public opinion against Reagan!
There has to be a special place with lakes of fire for this being.
GREAT column, Andrew.
Ted Kennedy was a politcal genius he turned the civil rights movement on it's head by forcing Middle Class people to pay the bills of the Lower Classes all the while protecting his own vast fortune. He bought the votes of the poor with other peoples money and when there wasn't enough tax money to pass around he ran our government into massive dept to keep passing out the favors and to keep people voting for the democRAT party.
Is that a rhetorical question?
My mother always said, "If you cannot say anything good about the deceased then do not say anything at all."
That is why I feel compelled to say the following:
Just posting to let all you right wing nuts know that you can preach to the choir all you want; you are a shrinking and irrelevant minority whose only prerequisite is to be crazy. You and all the tea baggers and birthers can go straight to hell.
Noe of you is fit to wipe a Kennedy's ass.
Ouch.
Well played
as right as you are capable of you moron
One thing I've learned as a grow older. Patience.
What goes around comes around .
Have fun in hell, Teddy. You deserve it.
I lost both my parents before I was 25..some musician who abused his body and a crooked politician dying just doesnt move me. Sorry for speaking ill of the dead but I just dont care. Not my loss, lucky for me.
maybe this will work http://www.breitbart.tv/caught-on-video-did-jfks-...
His @ss needs wiping after a drunken binge, too. You're welcome to it.
He is the definition of corruption and you are an idiot.
WELL SAID !!!!!!!
My dad just finished construction of a flagpole in front of our driveway. He's refusing to fly his flag at half mast.
Thank you Jack Marino for your comments. Well written and well said.
Not a problem, I just found it funny to see well reasoned comments to be rated lower than usual,
and when I clicked back to it a couple hours later, the comment ratings had dropped.
It was probably a function
of the time of night it was posted (and who was up late to read it)
as much as the content of Andrew's column.
step 1: collect underpants
step 2: ??????
step 3: profit!
"A blogger at the Huffington Post went so far as to argue the liberal Miss Kopechne herself would have accepted her death on utilitarian grounds. "Who knows – maybe she'd feel it was worth it," Melissa Lafsky wrote."
quite possibly the most disgusting thing i've ever read in defense of liberalism. this incredibly stupid b i t c h should be forced to explain her insane viewpoint to Mary Jo's family.
I've been screaming this out for a week now.
Good:
Befriending Domestic Terrorists and even appointing some of them to high-paying government offices.
Bad:
Small Business Owners who hire over 75% of the working public and dare to make over
$200,000 a year gross.
i believe proper protocol requires that you wipe your own saliva off the Kennedys' posteriors and other private parts when you're finished kissing them…
sorry, no more room in hell. kenedy's fat a$$ is using up all the space.

This article said so much in such few words. Something that T. Kennedy was incapable of doing.
Who *is* this joelpalmer guy, and how can he possibly have such a high reputation score when he spews such hateful garbage?
Have any of the Kennedy clan ever had a real job in the real world? have they ever worked with working people in a store, a plant, a warehouse, an office -not a government office – but a regular business office? Have any of them know what it's like to pay a mortgage, save for retirement, save for college fees, etc.? Have any of them done anything by themselves without their network of political hacks, powerful elite, insider media types? Imagine being raised in a family where you know that you never have to worry about a job, that you will get what you want when you want it, that you can cover up your mistakes or plain stupidity and, literally, get away with murder. I only wish that Dominick Dunne, who couldn't stand the Kennedys and vice versa, had lived to write one final book about this bunch and to comment on the demise of Ted.
[...] I just finished an excellent blog by Andrew Breitbart which really “calls a spade a spade” with regard to Ted Kennedy. Places a proper perspective on Ted’s “bogus adventures”. Find it here: [...]
The health care bill should be renamed the Chappaquiddick Health Care Bill because if it is passed it will do for America what Ted Kennedy did for Mary Jo Kopechne.

If, as Melissa Lafsky wrote on the HuffingPost about Mary Jo Kopechne. "Who knows – maybe she'd feel it was worth it," we are lead to believe that the death of a liberal ideologue is perfectly acceptable, we need more acceptability. MUCH more.
Aw. Poor Joel is askeered. How precious.
