And Massachusetts kept sending him back to the Senate until he died...

I’ve been trapped in a flash flood on the road and got tossed around for a while.
TV and movies do it no justice.
” and I doubt that he swam back to Edgartown.”
Why do you doubt that?
.
Looks like the movie lies about facts and tells the people that teddy was completely innocent. Otherwise peepel wouldn’t be promoting it.
They trying to turn teddy into a saint?
He left office 40 years after that. When he died.
The only evidence that he swam the channel is his own self-serving say-so.
But it was dark. I'm not sure that swimming that channel is easy. I'm not sure anyone has seen Kennedy swimming any time since either. (Google for images: Ted Kennedy swimming) I don't believe anyone has said that they saw him in wet clothes in Edgartown, including the clerk at the Edgartown Inn where he apparently awoke in the morning.

Elected the year I was born. Died when I was 47
Why didn't he just say he wasn't feeling well and she dropped him off at the hotel and must have gotten lost on her way back home?
Thanks.
I suppose someone could have got him back to Edgartown in a boat——but it seems astonishing that something like that wouldn’t get out after all of these years.
He was a truly evil man.
And Massachusetts kept sending him back to the Senate until he died...
Are you freakin kidding me, their must be something in the water.
I am waiting to hear with Howie Carr has to say about the movie, given he is bit of an armchair expert of all things Kennedy and their foibles.
Like the article says, Kennedy wondered in a daze. Because he was piss-faced drunk! Demwits get away with anything.
It has some useful information. But I do think the Dyke Bridge is there now (judging by Google satellite images) and I do think it was in place during the 80s when I regularly flew myself to Nantucket and sometimes dropped down to show passengers the site.
My recollection is that phone records showed considerable activity on Kennedy's phone credit card before the sun came up. Nothing was mentioned.
I also seem to recall that the Kopechne family came in to some money during the aftermath which may have been the reason that they, and maybe others who also might have come into some money, kept quiet and/or asked no questions.
Mary Jo's body left the island and the jurisdiction of the State before an autopsy could be done. I'm not sure that a decision not to do an autopsy was made. Kennedy was probably the only person who could have made this happen.

Ted was BORN the year I was born.
I outlived the bastard. Hah!!!!

And multitudes never were born because of TK's pro-death politics. Ted, Ted, your hands are red, because of the babies, whose blood you shed.
Then shortly before his death the pope sent impenitent Ted a nice letter in appreciation for his prayers in response to Ted's insolent letter on his good character.
Yet there was room at the cross even for him, if that is, after searing his conscience he could turn to Christ as a damned and destitute sinner, and trust the Lord Jesus to save him on His account, and be baptized and follow Him.
But now only justice will prevail, to his eternal horror. Which i do not wish on anyone.
Quite a picture. I once sunk a 64 Buick Special in a lagoon at a golf course (the worse part was that it was my dad's work car) and it went down very quick (though later resurrected to run thousands of miles, thank God).
Now for a little more behind your posted picture:
Speaking of VW, The National Lampoon‘s infamous Teddy Kennedy ad was a visually spot-on replica of VW’s ad produced by Doyle Dane Bernbach, claiming the Beetle was so well sealed it could float. The Lampoon had to recall the magazine and issue an apology. The issued this retraction: “Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn’t be president today.” As offensive as this appeared to many, it was seen as hilarious by others. Nonetheless, the parody appeared in a magazine that announced itself as a “lampoon.”- http://www.printmag.com/imprint/on-hoaxes-spoofs-and-parodies/
page=13#13" page=13#13 Found this update: In the early 70's, when VW still sold their beetle in the USA, they were fond of bragging about how air tight they were. One of their ads showed a beetle floating in the middle of a pond. National Lampoon ran the same picture with the caption: If Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he'd be president today! When a law suit was threatened... by VW, National Lampoon ran the following retraction: Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today. 13 posted on 4/8/2004, 4:20:37 PM by AgThorn
My family owned several Beetles over the years. You had to crack a window before you tried to close the door.
Or maybe pop the ears of those inside?
