laura bush - 17 year old stupid kid who ran a stop sign and stayed until police arrived
ted kennedy - 37 year old grown man who drove off a bridge and left the scene of the accident (where the victim suffocated inside the car, btw) and did not notify the police until the next morning
don't let your politics get in the way of this very important distinction
Not me. I was just talking about Laura's case by itself. Given her background, it just seems odd for her to blame God for her own stupidity. How could any rational person make that kind of leap, that it was God who caused you to make that mistake and not your own self?
Michael Douglas, the young man who was killed, had been a member of Laura Welch's crowd at high school and her friend. He had been a star athlete, excelling in track and football, and was looked up to by his peers not just for his athlete prowess, but for his personality and intelligence too. By all reports, he was likeable, outgoing, and funny. He was nominated as the school's most popular boy while a junior, an honor that almost always went to a senior.
There has always been speculation about the nature of his relationship with Laura Welch. One rumor asserts the two had never dated, but that Laura had been romantically interested in him. Another claims he had been Laura's boyfriend when he died, and another that he had once been her boyfriend but the couple had subsequently broken up. (The latter theory is advanced in the 2002 biography of the Bushes, George and Laura: Portrait of an American Marriage, which states Laura Welch and Michael Douglas had dated throughout early and mid-1963, but by the fall of that year Michael was going out with Regan Gammon, one of Miss Welch's closest friends.)
The accident is difficult to understand it that it took place on a clear night on dry pavement at a crossroads described as "the middle of nowhere," where the view was unobstructed and the stop sign that faced Laura Welch was clearly visible.
Who cares either way. It's the First Lady.

So, I take it, the First Lady is allowed to get away with murder?

dcharlie is about as astute about religion as Bill Maher.
It's OK when Laura Bush killed a person by being a shitty driver, but Ted Kennedy is the devil himself for what happened.
pointing at Kennedy and saying "well he was worse!" doesn't particularly change anything though right?
I wonder if Kennedy lost his faith too? Poor guy.
back to the plot, what sort of bullshit is it that when you fuck up running a stop sign killing someone that you then LOSE YOUR FAITH IN GOD ?
This is not some random chaotic accident here, YOU fucked up and caused an accident, what the fuck does GOD have to do with your fuck ups?

which would still make him more astute than any religiotard
QuoteAs someone who used to be a devout member of the church and then actually STUDIED religion in college for a semester or two, I would have to say that Prole's assessment is 100% is correct.
just to add, i was raised a roman catholic in a family with an irish background, i also passed my religious studies exam.
