'Chappaquiddick' Trailer Reveals Unsavory Ted Kennedy
newsbusters.org ^ | 12/22/2017 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 12/23/2017 7:55:11 AM PST by rktman

If anybody feared that the upcoming Chappaquiddick movie would be a whitewash of Ted Kennedy, the recently released trailer should disabuse them of that notion. Legal Insurrection describes the movie as the "portrait of a weasel." Kate Erbland of IndieWire reviewed it as a Compelling Teddy Kennedy Biopic That Pulls No Punches.

Now that he’s dead and served his purpose, it doesn’t matter that he’s thrown under the bus.

In the alternate version, Kennedy stopped the car on the bridge. He did not place the car into park nor did he set the parking break. The then assaulted Mary Jo who was not willing to be raped by any pig let alone a Kennedy pig. The car rolled, went over the unguarded edge of the bridge and flipped into the water.

Kennedy got out because he door was open. Mary Jo was not so lucky. Kennedy dove into the water not to save Mary Jo but to retrieve his trousers.

Kennedy then walked back to the party to consult with his “advisors” about how to handle the potentially career ending “problem”. The advisors got him off the island because he was drunk as the skunk he is.

He surfaced after sobering up and getting the cover story right—I drove off the bridge. I tried to save Mary Jo. I sought help. Then I swam from the island to the mainland.

He was found guilty of leaving the scene of a accident with injuries. He surrendered his driver’s license for a few months and continued to be the Leftist Liar of the Senate for a few more decades.

👹. I've been in one for 6 weeks and with any luck, I can shed it this coming Wednesday. Posterior decompression via lamenectomy C-3/C-7 with fusion of C-3 through C-7. Woo hoo. Minimal improvement so far. At least I survived the surgery.

Thanks for reminding us of Rush’s “The Philanderer”. It is still very funny in a macabre sort of way.

Rush will have to take it out of mothballs when the movie is released.

You mean she was first drowned, then placed in the car which was pushed off the bridge?

In Leo Damore’s book on the subject (”Senatorial Privilege”), Kennedy’s cousin, Joseph Gargan, claimed that he (Kennedy) BEGGED him to say he was driving the car. Gargan wisely declined. Loudly.

You are a gentle soul. Yes you are DP.

But you do know, we can't chase the babes anymore. They become offended. We have to wait for them to chase us.

Old Joe hated “Anglo white” American. He was the genuine Genesis of the 1965 Immigration Act

You're exactly correct. Not too many people have made that connection.

Joe thought that Anglo-Protestant Americans made him feel somehow inferior or treated him as less than the royalty that he knew he was. He pushed the idea to Teddy to punish the the Anglos, which eventually translated into the 3rd World Invasion of America

Old Joe hated the British so much that as Britain's ambassador to the US prior to WW II, even FDR knew he made a mistake and could not stand Joe's conniving against the British people. Joe attempted to convince everyone in power in Washington that Great Britain was a lost cause after the Nazi victories in Poland, France, Belgium, and elsewhere - and that American needed to abandon Churchill.

But Joe also was a Nazi sympathizer, and antisemitic, a serial adulterer and menace to innocent females, a narcissist, a bootlegger criminal, an insider trading financial criminal, lobotomized his own daughter Rosemary, and had so many other good qualities.

Kennedy also argued strongly against providing military and economic aid to the United Kingdom. "Democracy is finished in England. It may be here," he stated in the Boston Sunday Globe of November 10, 1940. With German troops having overrun Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France, and with daily bombings on Great Britain, Kennedy unambiguously and repeatedly stated his belief that this war was not about saving democracy from National Socialism (Nazism) or from Fascism. In an interview with two newspaper journalists, Louis M. Lyons, of The Boston Globe, and Ralph Coghlan, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kennedy said:

It's all a question of what we do with the next six months. The whole reason for aiding England is to give us time ... As long as she is in there, we have time to prepare. It isn't that [Britain is] fighting for democracy. That's the bunk. She's fighting for self-preservation, just as we will if it comes to us..... I know more about the European situation than anybody else, and it's up to me to see that the country gets it. His views were becoming inconsistent and increasingly isolationist; British MP Josiah Wedgwood, 1st Baron Wedgwood, who had himself opposed the British Government's earlier appeasement policy, said of Kennedy: We have a rich man, untrained in diplomacy, unlearned in history and politics, who is a great publicity seeker and who apparently is ambitious to be the first Catholic president of the U.S.

In British government circles during the Blitz, Kennedy was widely disparaged as a defeatist. He retreated to the countryside during the bombings of London by German aircraft, at a time when the British Royal Family, Prime Minister, government ministers, and other ambassadors chose to stay in London. (This prompted a member of Britain's Foreign Office to say, "I thought my daffodils were yellow until I met Joe Kennedy.")

Like I said to some of you offline, the term “Kennedy” gives me these thoughts:

A slob pig of the Kennedy klan, one who never held a real job in his life but lived off the government dime, dead now so he cannot be tried for murder. The state covered up Kennedy’s murder of that woman. The pig left her to die and told his pack of lies to cover it up. A drunk driving a vehicle and ran off the road. It would have been a simple DUI that caused a death, thus man slaughter or something. But, when he left the scene to cover his fat @$$, knowing she was still in that vehicle, in my humble opinion it became murder, to cover up the affair and his DUI. So, he will get his sentence before the Great White Throne of the LORD. His time is coming and that punishment will be worse than anything that he could get on this earth.

Naw, hang on a month or two and it will be on DirecTV movies or something. This won’t be one that hangs in long. Liberals ain’t going to watch it, because it taints one of their worldly gods here on earth. Not many conservatives will care because they don’t like kennedy.
