At one time I read a very detailed timeline format re Chappaquididick - the reason it took him so long to raise the alarm was because of the time he spent trying to talk one of his cousins into saying he was driving. Don’t know whether that is covered in the “new movie”.

During the overnight lessening his alcohol content and having the lawyers figure out how to extricate him, I do believe they were trying to figure out which underling could take the fall. I don’t remember it being a cousin. There were too many people who knew he was there though.

Disgusting how he was publicly at breakfast early at the hotel, acting like everything was fine, smiling and enjoying his breakfast.

“the reason it took him so long to raise the alarm was because of the time he spent trying to talk one of his cousins into saying he was driving.”

IIRC, that was covered in the mini-series on Reelz, “The Kennedys”, which was not in any way flattering to the clan of pervs. If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty good. They showed old Joe as a monster.

The only Kennedys in that movie who I could respect in even a small way were Ethel and Joan — and they weren’t Kennedys.

Yes, and I believe that part of the story was developed by Jack Anderson.
