18. Thats a disservice to Clinton and the dead woman

Clinton wasn’t directly responsible for Benghazi (responsible in a “The buck stops here way” maybe), nor was there anything wrong with the emails other than stupidity.

Ted Kennedy got in a drunk driving accident and his friend/employee died. He waited ten hours to report it, probably so the alcohol could leave his system.

Ted had an accident and made stupid decisions before and after; Clinton didn’t do anything wrong, and certainly not of that magnitude.

The similarities, I guess, would be in the insane GOP conspiracy theories afterwards. Ted Kennedy was out on the road that night because he was delivering pizza for Comet Pizza! And stupid shit like that.

(Also: the new autocorrect sucks)
