The timing on this is interesting. They are omitting Chappaquidick, but yet they are doing the special close to the 40th anniversary of the event.
The early years of Ted, same as the older years, running around half naked, drunk and stupid.
A must miss, thanks HBO.
Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.
...and the riches from rum-running, and the mob ties....
Never say anything bad about the dead. What? He’s not dead. He’s a drunken murderous old fool.
This is their own revisionist history. Demonrats live on lies. That is the only way they know how and to hell with everyone else. To hell with Mary Jo as she is an inconvenient truth and an example of just how far these scumbags will go to not abide by the laws, which are for everyone else.
Good graphic, except that for MaryJo, it was all darkness.
How long did they say she was alive, more than an hour, right?
She was breathing in a little air pocket near the back of the car. She might have survived if Ted had notified the police sooner.
How times have changed - that satire could never be published today. (except as fond memory on the web).
Did the swimmer die?
Micheal Jackson died you know.
and walked away while she might have been saved
- (to keep the press from knowing he was drunk) - it would have been in the movie...
Hell, knowing how biased the double standard Hollywood types are, it would have BEEN THE MOVIE.
This was negligent homicide, vehicular manslaughter, and just plain murder. Not one of the lawyers who were immediately on the scene with Kennedy was even sanctioned, never mind disbarred. They literally sat on the beach strategizing while Kopechne died.
Ted was not even a licensed driver at the time, and once the fix was in, he received the mildest of reprimands, couldn't even be called a slap on the wrist.
These simple facts were available even in the Massachusetts press. So what did the massholes who vote this foul beast in term after term do? They got together in demonstrations of sympathy .... for Ted ... not his victim.
Anybody else would have done 20 years for manslaughter. A married man, drunk, goes parking with a young girl. A cop approaches to check out the car and he speeds off. Later the car goes into a channel. He immediately saves himself and abandons the girl, according to experts in an air bubble that lasted some 25 minutes. He walks past four homes without trying to get use of a telephone to notify authorities and swims home. The authorities perform no autopsy even though there was blood on her dress and nose which was inconsistent with drowning. He was found at an inquest to have been driving negligently but that information was withheld from a grand jury. It looked like the hands of friends in high places was screwing up the process at every level. By not going to the authorities he avoided a breath test and since no one determined the reason for the blood, he avoided questions of whether he did violence to her before they went into the water, which would have been a murder charge.
Where did that run originally? The National Lampoon?
“The authorities perform no autopsy...”
Was she pregnant?
I have a copy of that ad. It’s 100% true.
