Rose Kennedy's Oldsmobile did something and something happened to someone.

Just a note about my one small claim to fame: my Uncle,who died about 6 months before I was born and after whom I am named is buried about 30 feet from where Old Man Kennedy,Rose and several other Kennedys are buried....in Brookline,MA.

I go to visit him occasionally because I often pass by that cemetery and while there I'm always tempted to empty my bladder on that nearby gravesite...but I haven't.

A common saying amongst military men that were serving at the time this happened was Nixon got a man to the moon and Ted Kennedy couldn't even get a whore across a river.

Mary Jo: “Teddy, I think I’m pregnant’
Teddy : “Now Mary Jo, we’ll cross that bridge when we come
to it”

A tinfoil guy I know told me JFK Jr. staged his death as he knew they were after him. Said he’s gonna surface soon. Just sayin’.

Who was that so-called mystery woman who hasn’t been mentioned for fifty years and where is she now?

Autopsy would have revealed the pregnancy.

I vaguely remember MaryJo’s father saying that she didn’t die in vain because she kept Ted Kennedy out of the White House.

Oh wow. And the news quickly turned to landing on the moon.

Why those Kennedy fixers pulled every trick in the book to keep their boy off the front pages.

Although I myself drove a VW bug for a long time, they had the unfortunate tendency to blow up in a head on collision. The gas tank was immediately in front of the driver and front seat passenger. As a young lawyer, I had to work on a gruesome exploding VW case, including awful pictures of the victims after it was over.

Yup. We too. If you can find *”Senatorial Privilege” it’s worth a read.

“Nowhere in this description is the fact that Kennedy was driving the car” Where is the evidence that he was in the car when it went over the edge?

Coincidence! I literally just finished listening to Howie Carr’s podcast of Chappaquiddick and the mention that book.

Need to add to my library.

The author of Senatorial Privilege, Leo Damore, was harassed and sued by the Kennedy lawyers for years after the book came out.

Kennedy tried to prevent the book from being published and threatened several potential publishers.

Leo Damore died under very suspicious circumstances.

It’s not complicated. He didn’t lose control of the car; he simply drove it off the bridge because he was $hitfaced.

Ted Kennedy testified under oath that he was driving the car.
