Yeah, the quote said that Kennedy felt remorse…and that it was also his favorite topic of humor. Seriously, he drunkenly drove a car off a bridge, got out of the car while Mary Jo likely plead with him to help her as she drowned, waited ten hours to sober up while her body sat at the bottom of the river, and then used his last name to get out of jail. Did we mention he was probably cheating on his wife with her?
And the best you can do is cite a speech he gave that he clearly never wrote. Yeah, he totally accepted responsibility…by never going to jail or suffering any consequences whatsoever. What a joke.

If you read the Klein’s quote carefully, Klein said Edward Kennedy did feel remorse about the death of Mary JoKopechne.

July 25, 1969, in an Address to the People of Massachusetts on Chappaquiddick Edward Kennedy said the following “Although my doctors informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion, as well as shock, I do not seek to escape responsibility for my actions by placing the blame either in the physical, emotional trauma brought on by the accident, or on anyone else. I regard as indefensible the fact that I did not report the accident to the policy immediately. You can read the complete address at http://www.americanrhetoric.com

What is absurd—and joke worthy–is how Ted Kennedy haters use Chappaquiddick and Mary JoKopechene for their own purposes.

This article also misconstrues the reason for Trent Lott’s resignation while also failing to mention the civility of Kennedy’s friendship with Lott. On the wall of Kennedy’s office is a letter. It a letter from Senator Trent Lott that states “Thank you my friend for your many courtesies. If the world only knew.”
