Cookie Roberts is narrating this episode and she had talked a bit about the Moon landing. Then she said (paraphrased) ‘during this trip to the Moon, there was a party going on at a house on Chappaquidick island, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. This would turn out to be another tragedy for the Kennedys.’ And I’m thinking ‘a tragedy for the Kennedys??? WHAT ABOUT THE KOPECHNES’???

Lots of overt PC nonsense, so I dumped it.

I saw it on the schedule, considered recording it, then promptly forgot. I was if they treat the story fairly. Obviously, not. Thanks for the heads-up.

I wonder if the Kennedy kids are all still on Venezuela's payroll? Asking for a friend.

In some small way, one could say Mary Jo Kopechne gave her life so we could be spared the threat of a Teddy Kennedy presidency. Way too big a price for a life, of course. RIP Mary Jo K.

I too am frustrated to hear of the tragedies of the Kennedys.

Some people think of the assassinations, and lump them in with events such as Chappaquiddick and the William Kennedy Smith rape case. To me, self inflicted wounds such as those cases should not generate sympathy for the Kennedys. If anything, they should generate revulsion at how Kennedy men treat women.

Yeah, but the Kennedys are rulers, as opposed to Kopechne class peons.

Cokie Roberts had some not very good words about Teddy later on in the show.

Also the show clearly pointed out that Teddy got away with murder and many of the people involved are still really angry about the corruption of justice.

Whenever some media program is called anything like “the 60s” I fully expect a self-congratulatory hippie love-fest.

I like Cokie. The series didn’t let Teddy off the hook, though.

The Manson episode was good, too. I didn’t remember Manson running with the Beach Boys.

The only thing good about ‘69 was the moon landing.

And my birth!

I remember those days. Don’t wish to relive them again. I’ve had better years to remember.

That’s classic. The so-called “news” media is an obscenity.

Yowza! I did type Cokie, but even after the editing, in it’s wisdom the computer changed it. Too creepy!
