All of the sick jokes are a bit much at this time...sorry, but that is my opinion. As there is nothing I can say which will convince you otherwise, I will leave you to it.
No offense, Ferd...
One more thing...as to Chappaquiddick, my father never did believe TK was guilty of anything other than covering for a family member who was guilty.
I will leave you that to dissect, and once again, Ferd, no offense intended...this is just my humble opinion.

Mr. Smith can enter a plea without appearing in court, and Mr. Schnapp said he probably would do so before then, Mr. Farrell reported. But a person familiar with Mr. Smith's case said that before any plea was entered, his lawyers were likely to file a motion for dismissal on the ground of unfair pretrial publicity. 'Looking Forward to a Trial'
In a police affidavit released as Mr. Smith was charged, a 29-year-old woman from Jupiter, Fla., said that Mr. Smith attacked and raped her early on the morning of March 30 after she drove him home from a Palm Beach nightclub and accepted his invitation to walk on the beach.
The woman said she was screaming "no," and "stop" throughout the attack. Senator Kennedy and about a dozen other people who were inside the house at the time told police investigators they heard nothing.
"I don't think anyone who knows Willy would for a minute believe her story."
Mr. Smith, a 30-year-old nephew of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, was released after posting $10,000 bond at the county jail in West Palm Beach
The police affidavit, released on Thursday, suggests that Mr. Barry may have misled the two officers who first went there looking for Mr. Smith and Senator Kennedy at about 1:30 P.M. on Easter Sunday, some 34 hours after the alleged incident and a full day after the woman reported it.
