Jumpin' Jesus on an atomic-powered pogostick people. Its been fifty-freaking years! Cannot we bury with his bones that tragic deed the man did? Does the rehashing of these events bring justice or peace, or closure? I think not. At best it feeds the growing national addiction to outrage porn, the incessant need to be pissed off about something, anything. Its a feeling that many get truly hooked on. I hope that at long fucking last, we can forget Teddy Kennedy, and the events of that night. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government."

Would you feel that way if it were your daughter that lost her life that night because of Teddy? | |||

I remember on a previous anniversary the author of a book being on a daytime program and being asked if he thought this type of thing could still happen, he looked straight into the camera and said “Yes, if you lived in Massachusetts and your last name was Kennedy”. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Mr. and Mrs. Kopechne have every reason to mourn the loss of their child and to do so in any way they see fit. But total strangers being outraged over an event 50 years ago, an event that, at most, had one impact on their lives, i.e., preventing another Kennedy from being President? Not after 50 years, especially when the person directly responsible has been dead for damned near a decade. I foresee people in 2112 still being outraged at James Comey's exoneration of Felonia von Pantsuit and her outhouse server.

Nope. Because it's a shining example that what is wrong with politics, the powerful/connected, the media bias and the double standards that we bitch about today are nothing new, but instead a time honored tradition for some. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Another Democrat excused for his incredibly bad behavior. That fat slob Kennedy literally got away with manslaughter. Then went on to spew his liberalism on America for years. Glad he is toast. | |||

To me it's not that fifty years have passed since the accident, that we should "let go"...it is that Ted Kennedy resumed his senatorial career without much visible contrition, continued his loutish behavior, and aspired (futilely) to be president. All this while being hailed as a hero and a caring warrior for the masses by an adoring/complicit media. That part of the history of the "Lion of the Senate" is still with us. It's very much part of the political & public viewpoint battle we continue to be in right now. Bill Gullette | |||

I belong to this school of thought. This alcoholic fucker occupied a seat in the U. S. Senate for nearly 47 years. And I doubt if his drinking had anything to do with contrition or guilt for the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne.

Like you, I don't believe his murder of Mary Jo Kopechne led to his alcohol abuse. I believe his alcohol abuse led to the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne. . | |||

The cloak has lifted enough that we have seen, especially in the last couple of years, just how vast and putrid is The Swamp. And we haven't seen the half of it. But that incident at Chappaquiddick was our first glimpse of just how evil the Kennedys could be, and by extension, very likely many more in Washington. Mary Jo was a nobody, a nothing, flesh for the Kennedy lust, and the only important thing about her death to Ted, all the Kennedys, and all their advisers and sycophants was: How do we cover this up? How to stop it from harming Teddy's political ambitions? Nope, never forget it. Ted Kennedy was a peek at the kind of reptiles that slither around in The Swamp. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I just found out today the movie is on Netflix. I don't recall ever seeing it pop up as a new release. I'll probably watch it this weekend. | |||

It will be another couple of generations before this dies because we are hard wired to want justice and it was not had here. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||
