Could be that he was traumatized and had some PTSD going on cause someone he knew died and he was injured and cold by the event trying to save her life. This was a very sad tragedy.
Also, he possibly was concerned that some of the people would accuse him of having an affair with her and if true, or not, would hurt his future political aspirations I surmise. Just an opinion. I believe Ted is a good person and the bestest democrat that every was.

Very well could be true. I am not here to pass judgement. I believe for the most part all people are good some more than others,but to qualify as a hero is a bit of a stretch.
A passerby sees a car go off bridge and dives in to save= hero. A driver makes an error and puts someone elses life in danger then tells of his efforts to save victim is nothing more than a story with no colaboration(spelling?) True?
Correct Shred4. You make much more gooder points on this here issue. I have not formed an opinion on this here matter but I like Ted even thought I be Republican. Thank you for your responses and welcome to the political forum. You are a good addition. Many good posters in this here site.

Well gosh...I mean, boy howdy you sure are getting rough with a small town gal like me and I hope you realize this is not only a complete sentence, but a really, really long run-on sentence which is what I'm really really good at as you can see if you watch me give long syntax-crippled responses to that good ol' Katie Couric that day I was on that national TV interview where they ambushed me with lots of crazy questions when I really really wanted to make a speech telling America all the stuff I think is important for a small town gal like me when I'm elected Assistant to the President.
Well, I don't know about the American media in general, but at least in this forum here Palin's inexperience was generally only mentioned as reply to the constant attacks against Obama's supposed inexperience. From what I remember, the really bad attacks (those who would fit the description "ragged on incessantly") against Palin usually targeted her intelligence and knowledge. If this forum was, in this respect, not a mirror of what happened in the American media then I might indeed be wrong.
But I resent the word "again". Even if you are correct in this instance (which I don't know), this would be the first time you show me wrong. ;-)
She Must Have Graduated From The NBA School Of Interviewing....YOU KNOW?
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...caroline_kennedy_tells_daily_news_i_woul.html
A defiant Caroline Kennedy says she "wouldn't be beholden to anybody" - including Mayor Bloomberg - if she's picked to become New York's next U.S. senator.
"I'm really coming into this as somebody who isn't, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know, the Democratic Party," Kennedy told the Daily News Saturday during a wide-ranging interview.
"I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person. And, you know, and that would be obviously true with my relationship with the mayor."
Kennedy, sipping on peppermint tea at an upper East Side diner, was responding to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who said she could be more beholden to Bloomberg than Gov. Paterson, who will make the Senate appointment.
JFK's daughter has been helped behind the scenes by the mayor's top aide, Kevin Sheekey. She has also hired a political consulting firm with ties to Bloomberg.
Despite her closeness with the mayor, Kennedy said she has never voted for him, or any Republican for that matter, and insisted she will support the Democratic candidate for mayor next year.
Kennedy, 51, is one of a number of New Yorkers looking to replace Sen. Hillary Clinton, who will give up the seat to become secretary of state.
Criticized for ignoring reporters after her name surfaced as a possible Clinton replacement, Kennedy sat down with the media this weekend. Displaying her notorious shyness during the 30-minute chat, the mother of three, author and public education advocate was pleasant, but spoke softly and rarely made eye contact. Her speech was often punctuated with extra "you knows" and "ums."
Kennedy said she is excited and up to the challenge of not only serving in the Senate but mounting a run for the seat in 2010 and 2012.
"I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be," she said.
Kennedy revealed she has had several recent discussions with her former cousin-in-law, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is also considered a serious candidate for the Senate seat.
"Andrew is, you know, highly qualified for this job," she said. "He's doing a, you know, a great job as attorney general, and we've spoken throughout this process."
Despite his bitter divorce from Kerry Kennedy, in which her family accused Cuomo of spilling about his wife's extramarital affair, Caroline Kennedy said the recent conversations have been amicable.
"You know, I think, you know, we're sort of, uh, sharing some of this experience. And um, as I've said, he was a friend, a family member, and um so, and uh obviously, he's, you know, he's also had an impressive career in public office."
Although Cuomo has said he is fond of Kennedy, he has refused to say whether he believes she is qualified to be senator.
Bashed as a political novice, Kennedy argued that her ties in Washington, particularly to President-elect Barack Obama, can help her deliver for New York. She denied that her interest in the seat is driven by a desire to ensure the family continues its decades-long presence in the Senate.
"It's really, you know, it's not about just the Kennedy name," she said. "It's about my own work and what I've done with those values."
She refused to discuss details of her personal wealth and again said she would file all legal disclosures publicly only if she is selected for the seat.
Kennedy also said as a senator she would help New York Democrats raise money. The News reported last week that she has done little in the way of donating money to New York politicians over the years.
She also says she realizes campaigning means making sure not to offend locals, by things like rejecting a sausage sandwich at a state fair, the way Republican Rick Lazio, who lost to Clinton in 2000, famously did.
When asked if she would eat the sausage sandwich, she laughed, smiled and said, "I'm starving."

They played some clips on Fox News of an interview with Princess Caroline and it was just a series of "you knows" and "likes." The commentator said that she listened to a 35 minute interview with Caroline and counted no less than 196 "you knows" during the interview. Now this inarticulate woman feels somehow entitled to be a U.S. Senator from New York.

She probably shouldnt be a senator. That being said the premise of this thread is asinine, no one would have brought up Palin's inexperience as a major issue if she were running for senate. It certainly would not have been a national issue on any level. If Caroline were running for VP and the dems said nothing it would be hypocrisy. This situation is not even comparable to that, however.
Ya know I didn’t know, ya know, much about ya know, Caroline Kennedy, except like ya know, her uncle is like ya know Teddy. So I ya know didn’t want to like comment ya know about her ya know. But after ya know, listening to her talk, ya know, I like, ya know said to myself, ya know, this women sounds ya know, like ya know, a dolt. Make that a ya know, a serious, like, ya know, illiterate ya know
