Google Trends this morning (26AUG09) is a perfect window into our tabloid culture and the recesses of our depraved minds. While the papers are full of words like “dynasty” and “legacy,” Mary Jo Kopechne, according to Google Hot Trends, is uppermost in our thoughts. Her name comes up as number one in the ranking, and several more places on the list, misspelled. Chappaquiddick shows up high and often, too; once correctly, and then in several illiterate incarnations.
Teddy did run for president, but quit in a very ungracious way when it became clear he couldn't beat Carter in the quest for the nomination.
he didn't decline the ultimate glory of running for president he got beat (badly when you consider the money they each spent) by Carter who figured out a better way to run in a primary.
