Sen. Edward Kennedy's Chappaquiddick Speech (July 25, 1969)

One of the most (in)famous and disturbing apologia speeches of all time.  U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, 43 years ago today, attempts to explain his behavior on the night of the car accident killing Mary Jo Kopechne.  A full transcript and partial video of the speech can be found here and an interesting CNN article about how today's press media would cover the speech is here.
