kmd | - | 7/16/2008 9:18:00 PM multiple factual errors: no stabbing in his right arm, cancer in the wrong bone and wrong treatments for it, ignored his run for presidency in 1980, WWII mission itself was dangerous--never did succeed--but no electrical flaw ignored.

Since you have access to the Internet, you should be able to find better facts than these--or you have been looking at the wrong Web sites.

cmh | - | 7/17/2008 2:52:00 AM kmd is right. This is a silly article full of basic errors. Here are a few more:

*Franklin Roosevelt was elected president 4 times (1932, 1936, 1940, 1944) making him a 4-term president, not "three term," (although he did die during the course of his fourth term.

*Edward turned 38 it 1970, not during the "mid-sixties."

*Many, many, words that have been written to describe President Kennedy; "flamboyant" has never been one of them.

*Jospeh Kennedy Jr was killed in 1944 not "1943."

*John F. Kennedy was assassinated on 22nd November 1963, not the "23rd."

*Jospeh Kennedy Sr was appointed Ambassador to Great Britain in 1938 not "1937."

*Edward Kennedy survived a plane crash in 1964 and ended up not just with a "very bad back,...arguably not that bad," but with a broken back, from which he still suffers chronic pain and wears a back brace.

*Robert Kennedy was born in 1925 and Edward in 1932, making Bobby much more than "only two years older than Ted."

*It is "Mary Jo Kopechne" not "Mary Joe Kopeckney."

*Kopechne was born in 1940, making her 29 when she died in 1969, not "26."

*I don't know what "a Kennedy-type vehicle" means. I do know it was a 1967 Oldsmobile.

*Edward Kennedy's middle name is "Moore" not "Moor."

*The Senator is not "exactly 81 years old." He is 76.

*There is absolutely no truth whatsoever in the allegation that a "soothsayer" warned Edward Kennedy that his marriage was a "misfortune."

*It's Lyndon "Baines" Johnson, not "Byrnd."
