Ann Coulter, as usual, is correct.

Off your knees, dear....he doesn't deserve your genuflection.
1. "But Kennedy was more concerned about saving his own reputation. For hours he did nothing. What must have gone through his mind during that time? What sort of man is capable of such killer callousness? Kennedy in the end survived — not just literally, but politically. Had he not been a Kennedy would he have got away with it? He was given a mere suspended jail sentence for his role in the death of the young woman.
Among callers to one US phone-in show was the pilot who flew him back to be questioned by the police after Chappaquiddick.
The pilot recalled that what struck him most
about Kennedy was his absolute arrogance.
That pampered arrogance and KennedyÂ’s
contempt for women remained in evidence down through the years. Chappaquiddick defined Edward Kennedy. Nothing that followed, nothing that he did ever made it right.

2. As long as weÂ’re on the subject of humor this morning,
what kind of jokes did the late Ted Kennedy like to tell his closest friends? One of KennedyÂ’s close friends, former editor of Newsweek and New York Times Magazine Ed Klein, tells the Diane Rehm Show that
Chappaquiddick jokes were high up on the list (audio here, at 30:10):
I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, “have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?” That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too.
If thatÂ’s true
it makes Kennedy kind of a monster. The odd thing is that if you listen to the whole show, the tone of everyone involved is
nauseatingly haigographic and reverential. Klein apparently let his guard down a bit; after he lets it slip Kennedy liked to joke about the woman he killed you can actually hear in his voice that heÂ’s trying to backpedal.

3. That piece of trash offered to work with the USSR against the President of the United States...
"In his book, which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President ReaganÂ’s foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.
The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet UnionÂ’s Communist Party."
