Reply #22: There is no doubt that how Kennedy handled this was wrong

[johnnie]

But why do they try to equate this with cheney shooting someone in the face with a shotgun? Chappaquiddick happened almost 40 years ago and Kennedy was *not* the vice president of the United States.

Tell your dad that if he feels that strongly about what happened 40 years ago then he should feel just as strong about what happened a week ago. If he doesn't want to , then tell him that he is obviously uneasy with what the vice president did and is using Kennedy to make excuses for cheney.

Or you can use my new response that I came up with here last week and when he mentions Chappaquiddick just respond with "So?".
