The article makes an error in saying all six men at the party were married. Kennedy's chauffeur, the oldest of the men, was single.

It was 10 hours after the accident that Kennedy contacted the police.
It was 2 hours after the body was recovered that Kennedy contacted the police.
What did he say in his ‘confession’?
“When I fully realized what had happened this morning,” he wrote, “I immediately contacted the police.”

Kennedy got out of the overturned car, but Kopechne failed to exit the car and diedSome "lion" he was.
If you took Kennedy's name out of this narrative, and substituted some nobody's, the story wouldn't reflect any less poorly on that individual. It really stinks.

Yes, Johnson was. I just watched War Stories with Oliver North and how we got into Vietnam, and the whole Gulf of Tonkin lie...I have total refueled hatred for that b@st@rd. I hope he is enjoying the fires of hell.

Sounds like he had faith, so his many, many sins dont matter. I am sorry, I don't understand. Can you give me a link or an example of his faith in Christ?
Thanks.

The critical info was the police officer who reported Kennedy’s car in that vicinity at about 12:45 AM. The car went into the water shortly thereafter.
Kennedy himself then checked in with the Hotel owner at 2:25 AM. He complained about guests making loud noise.
He didn’t mention a need to call police or anyone else and he was in dry clothing.
With estimates of 5 hours that she survived in that car, even at 2:25 AM she could have been rescued if the man had simply opened his mouth.

A freeper pointed out that the link I posted to the scuba diver's eyewitness account no longer works. Howie Carr has now made it a download. Here is the new link -- go to the upper right corner and see the red link to the scuba diver's story:

As Ted has found out, Hell doesnt have gates, just a slippery slope...Heaven has "abortion", though. But not for babies; only for adults.

Thanks again! Listening to it now. Sounds like it will be very interesting. I hadn’t checked the earlier one.

Did you link to the correct youtube video? I think it was a perfect choice. Agreed.

What is most incredible, for almost 10 hours he allowed her to sit there under water.
Think about it. For 10 hours, every second of every hour, in his mind, he had to think something .... About 3,600 times, in his mind, he had to say “Screw her, let her rot. I need to save my career and keep my fat ass out of jail. I can do this, I'm a kennedy.”

The police chief investigated the accident. He said that an officer on patrol had radioed in that there was a car parked in a darkened area. The chief said that he believed that Kennedy got nervous when the police car went by, then exited the car leaving MaryJo to drive off to her hotel while he was going to walk back to the cottage where the party was going on. He said that he did not believe that Kennedy was in the car when it drove off the bridge.That would explain why there wasn't an open door or smashed window in the car that she could have attempted to swim out of, assuming she wasn't knocked out or much too drunk to snap to attention. I had always wondered about that. If the car had an early version of power door locks, they might not have been able to operate under water.

Robert Kennedy actually got his start in politics working on investigations for Senator Joseph McCarthy. Joe Kennedy may have earned the family fortune off insider information but until Teddy came along, nobody in the family delighted in cozying up to Communists. What is even more strange to me is that there was also a 'Polish' Pope working with Reagan to tear down that 'iron curtain'. Now why would Teddy work against his own church?
