On July 18, 1969, Kennedy gave Kopechne, a teacher, secretary and former political campaign specialist, a ride from a party of people who had worked on his brother Robert's presidential campaign. Although it's unclear why, Kennedy drove his Oldsmobile 88 down an unlit dirt road and off a bridge into a nearby tidal channel. Kennedy was able to swim free of the car; Kopechne was not. It was several hours before the overturned car was spotted by local fishermen, who alerted the police, while Kennedy himself only reported his involvement in the accident after Kopechne's body was discovered.

I think we all can learn some valuable things from Ted Kennedy. He never blinked for his agenda. He was relentless in his liberal efforts and unapologetic for the liberal causes he so believed in even when he messed up.

Alas...no, I did not. 
I was a bit incredulous that they used that ad.
