ThatGuy, that is indeed a tragedy. But it is in no comparison to Chappaquiddick, because a) she was a teenager, not an established, respected congressman, b) she was not from a rich, famous family, and c)she was right there at the scene, made no attempt to flee like he did.
BostonAnne, here's the link to the homeless/windshield story. It was only last year I think. The key connection here is the line in this story that reads "if he had gotten medical attention he would have survived"- that's true of Mary Jo too. If Ted had stopped at that fire station less than a mile from the bridge that he ran past in the night, they may have been able to save her. Maybe not, but he didn't even try. Maybe he was too 'freaked out'- that's no excuse, so was this girl. She was a 25 year old nurse, not a killer. But if she got 50 years for her mistake, it's not fair Ted should go on about his business. So what if it cost him the White House. He kept the senate, his freedom, and ended up getting 'honored.' It's just not right.
