Mary Jo's last words according to Hollywood:

"Save yourself Ted! The country needs you! It was an honor to serve....um...under you."

Another attempt to rewrite history. Don’t quite think they’ll get away with it like they did in the “Good Ole Days”

Movies and TV shows all incorporate an agenda. This will paint kennedy as innocent. Its purpose is to clear up his image so no one will think of him as a drunken, unfaithful partygoer whose drunken driving led to the death of the woman he was cheating with, and as someone who evaded responsibility for his actions, and as someone who got a free pass on prosecution because he was a rich, powerful democrat politician.

the car plunged into Poucha Pond

It’s the car’s fault.

Likely the plot will be where Mary Jo has selfish designs on being a Kennedy, none of the family like her, Ted is torn, she feels the conflict, pulls the pregnancy ploy. And there’s poor lil Teddy, a victim of family aristocracy and its inherent arrogance, loving dear MJ as dearly as Aniken loved Padmay. The conflict. He drinks to escape the tension. He tells MJ that he’ll do anything for her and resolves to break away from the clan that night when instead, pure fate intervenes and the car accidentally careens off that bridge. He fights with all he has to save her but in his weakened, drunken state he is feeble and unable to perform the simplest task to save his beloved, the woman who would alter the course of his life. Ooooh Teddy! You poor, confused, overly influenced, victimized yet honorable man. /s /puke

Ted was given a date rape drug by Mary Jo. This will render him incoherent as she tries to drown him. He escapes but still dives back in to save her. He fails but he tried.

Just then a school bus full of children nose dives into the water right next to Ted. Ted saves all 57 children and buys them ice cream as they await limos Ted called in to take them to the hospital to be sure they’re all ok. Ted turns down the Congressional Medal of Honor and says, “Aw shucks. You would’ve done the same”. The End.

...After slipping a mickey in the senator’s root beer float, Miss Kopechne asked Ted to drive her home. But on the way, she suddenly grabbed the wheel in a fit of evil laughter and the car flew into the river. She was probably a Republican. Vote for Hillary.

Australian-born "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jason Clarke will portray Kennedy in "Chappaquiddick"

He's going to have to put on a lot of weight and spend hours with the make-up artist every day turning his face bright red.

Kennedy said in his memoir True Compass about the event: "I've had to live with that guilt for forty years. But my burden is nothing compared to her [Mary Jo Kopechne] loss and the suffering her family had to endure."

Yes, and I am sure that his Pastor suggested that he work out his burden by naming his dog "Spalash", and to resolve to never, ever get his waitress sandwiches "to go".

“...the car plunged into Poucha Pond”

Precursor to runaway SUVs.

Finally going to get Mary Jo the blame she deserves. Probably she will be excoriated for distracting Kennedy’s pants while he was driving.

Or, maybe she was driving.

It was her that was drunk. Not him.

Or, maybe it was not him but someone who only looked like him confessing to the police.
