Re: Birchtree's account talk
Let's do a little Donkey politics. If you are a liberal be warned the following is not pretty and you should not read my comments.
"Edwards is Kennedyesque at handling sleaze charges. The good news: DNA testing has confirmed that John Edwards is not the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. The bad news: The father is Bill Clinton - just kidding.
Also, by now, everyone has heard the news that Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, has refused to grant a paternity test.
I wonder if Edwards knew that when he was making his offer to take a paternity test?
With Hunter in on the scam, Edwards could boldly demand a paternity test and then self-righteously defend his mistress's decision to refuse a paternity test. How dare you gainsay this woman's right to her privacy! Because if there's one person who's gone the extra mile to keep Hunter from becoming a public figure, iy's Edwards.
Edwards is closely following the Ted Kennedy model of responding to charges of misconduct.
First, admit only as much as can be currently proved.
Second, get the other party to block any further investigation. I guess he really is 'Kennedyesque'.
After Kennedy plunged his car off the Chappaquiddick Bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne in it and then failed to report the accident for nine hours, Kennedy admitted he had driven off the bridge - but said he was in a state of shock for the next nine hours, preventing him from reporting the submerged car with a woman trapped in it."
I always knew this piece of trash was guilty of more - please don't read anymore if you are a left leaning liberal, please. He had to have time to sober up.
"Indeed, Kennedy was so disoriented he was barely able to dream up a highly unlikely alibi.
The historical parallel to Edwards' pincer move with Hunter is that Kennedy ostentatiously demanded a full investigation - while the Kopechne family stoutly objected to an autopsy of their dayghter."
AT this point IMHO Kennedy is no better than O.J. Simpson.
"According to Senatorial Privilege by Lro Damore, the evidence suggested that Kopechne died gasping for breath in the car while Kennedy was busy trying to persuade various people to say that they were driving his car.
There were lots of houses neareby with lights on, but Kennedy avoided them after he escaped from the car, so he could sneak back to his hotel undetected and begin establishing an alibi. Evidently, Kennedy is better than Edwards at sneaking into and out of hotels.
If Kopechne had suffocated, then she had been alive for hours after the car plunged into the water. But an autopsy was required to determine whether Kopechne had drowned or suffocated.
Both the coroner and the diver who retrieved the body from the car believed Kopechne had suffocated, not drowned. The diver found her body contorted in the back of the submerged car as if she had been trying to press her face into the last air pocket in the car. The coroner concluded there wasn't enough water in her body to indicate a drowning.
But no autopsy was performed in a possible manslaughter case. Kopechne was buried within about an hour of her body being pulled out of the channel under the Chappaquiddick Bridge.
Naturally, Kennedy wanted a thorough investigation - to clear his name - but the Kopechnes absolutely refused to consent to an autopsy of their daughter."
After all these years I still wonder what the pay off amounted to. Karma will finally intervene when the Devil finally catches this piece of sh*t - and I wish it were tomorrow.
