I was in Vienna at the time and remember very large headlines on a tabloid newspaper: ZWEI MONATE FU"R KENNEDY. I thought that meant he would actually have to serve two months in jail.
The 67/68 Olds Delmont 88 had power windows.
Theres not much else to the story. The Kennedy guy and my father just started talking about the weather up at Chappaqiddick like that was a totally normal thing to talk about.
He loved him some ibama,too.
Not quite.
Kennedy waited 10 hours to call for help.
You guys need to give Fat Boy a break on this point ... I mean, have any of you ever tried to dress a nude woman under water?
How does that resolve him of the fault? Assume my explanation is the truth? After consulting with his attorneys he decided on a story that puts him in the car, trying to get back to the Edgartown Ferry. He takes a wrong turn and the car goes into the river. He dives countless times to save her and almost drowns himself.
In short, they paint the picture of the guy being a hero rather than the irresponsible drunk who left a single gal in his car, driving alone down a road to a dead end secluded beach etc etc.
The guy refuses to leave the Senate. Compare this with the countless others, including the clown from Minnesota who resigns over nothing, and people like Newt, and others. Kennedy stays in the Senate and does more to ruin our country then any one person ever. This includes the borking of Judge Bork and other cabinet choices that used to be the prerogative of the president to appoint.
Then Mary Jo's death was not in vain.
Yeah........Three rums with a splash of coke.
3? 4? beers? What ever he testified to in the inquest that was six months after the fact, just multiply that by 2.
Another myth dispelled in Chappaquiddick Speaks.

Is “Morning Joe” worried?
Yes, it opens in MA on Friday at AMC theaters.
I can relate to this. I have a few guy friends who married lefty liberals, (can’t imagine), and some girls I’ve dated who are conservative themselves, but their parents liberal, and of course friends who are liberals. Rule one, you don’t discuss politics.
However, when you do, then your feelings come out and it’s like Kabul.
I met a gal at a party in Chicago several years ago. She was a lobbyist for the teacher’s union and really really liberal, but we hit it off. Lot’s of chemistry, stunningly head turning beautiful body and much younger than myself, so I asked her out on an official date. We went out and had a blast. Both being from Chicago and all, we went to a Greek restaurant we both liked, Kingston Mines, etc.
We ended the evening at a small cozy jazz club. No politics discussed the entire night up to then. Sipping champagne and just relaxing.
I finally reach over and give her moist lingering sexy kiss. She kisses me back. We retreat back to the music playing. Really content, and I’m thinking I finally found someone that I might ask out again and get to know better. I knew she felt the same way about me. And I’m thinking after tonight, I’ll not call her a couple days, i.e. really take this one seriously. Don’t rush into sex...etc etc.
Then completely out of the blue, she says. “Wasn’t that Nixon a friggin’ crook?”
I look at her, and go, “Huh? He was a great president.”
After about ten minutes of listening to her crap about Nixon, abortion etc etc. and of course mine too (that was summary of what you’d read in FR), I paid the bill, gave her a fifty for her cab and left.
Ted Kennedy never went for help.
Only after the car had been found partially submerged and divers had taken the dead girl from the car did Kennedy talk to the police.
They were already looking for him.
Kennedy tried several false statements before finally writing the statement saying he had driven the car.
No autopsy was performed on Mary Jo.
Mary Jo and Kennedy left the party to have sex.
They were seen arguing by officer Look.
So it is logical to surmise that Mary Jo got banged around. She was also drunk. Injured to some degree, disoriented, stunned and drunk, she wasn't thinking clearly and just went to the air pocket, probably thinking Kennedy would get rescuers. To me this is the most reasonable "innocent" explanation.
A non-innocent explanation is that she was already in the back seat, possibly unconscious either from drink or a blow from Kennedy. She wakes up in the back of an overturned car, not thinking clearly, so she waits for rescue. He might have pushed the car over. It is so close to the bridge that it could not have been traveling very fast or its momentum would have carried it further out away from the bridge. So I have always harbored the suspicion that she was murdered; that it was not an accident. Rumors swirled that she was pregnant. Whatever the truth, at minimum Kennedy got away with negligent homicide.
