Daily Beast reporter Liza Foreman tells readers in her lede that she was "not all that familiar" with Chappaquiddick, the remote island where Kennedy drove off a bridge late at night with a young woman who drowned in the car while Kennedy escaped.
Kennedy failed to report the accident until the next morning and was later given a suspended sentence for leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The death of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker to Kennedy's late brother Robert, shadowed Ted Kennedy for the rest of his life and arguably kept him from ever winning the presidency.
Albeit without leaving someone to perish in his car while he sobered up, but I digress. Back to Clarke on the accident itself --
"It was a critical night," he added. "It was a really long night for Ted and a long day. I mean we start off from Washington, then Martha's Vineyard for the boat race. There is the beach, then the boat race, then the whole party, and then the accident, and then the whole night to the next morning. So it was a long night for Ted. Ted had a rough night."

The press gave that killer a pass his whole creepy life. Disgusting. I'm surprised the New York Times and Washington Post didn't 'win' Pulitizers for the cover up and lies...

More people died in Ted Kennedy’s car than at Three Mile Island PA.
There is a rumor that the Kopechnes were told to shut up or their daughter’s name would be slandered.
Mary Jo was not autopsied to determine whether she was pregnant at the time of her death.
Poor Teddy...
Love that neck brace he wore for a time, trying to get the neck brace sympathy vote.
I don’t know how he may it through with no disabled parking spots in those days.
That wouldn’t surprise me.
Anyone want to bet it’ll be smash hit at the box office? Yeah, me neither.
He's no student. He's 47 years old. Actors used to research their characters. Yeah, Mary Jo was having a swimmingly wonderful night.
She kinda has Hillary eyes, at least in that photo.
America is better without Teddy Kennedy .
The only thing I miss, that has to do with Ted Kennedy, is sending him an email every year on Mary Jo Kopechne’s birthday (July 26, 1940).
He survived car wrecks, airplane crashes and once while driving down the road a tree fell on his car and tried to take him out.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
That is (was) Gods way of telling him ‘I can take you anytime I want’ and then reserving a horrific death for him.
Works for me.
Just think, if it weren’t for who is family is/was, we probably would have never heard of that fat SOB..
Hope he is enjoying stoking the flames and tending to Satan’s every desire.
47?
Then he’s just plum dumb!
There once was a Senator from Mass.
Out in search of some @$$.
He lucked up and found it
F&*%ed and drowned it.
And that was the end of his @$$.
Teddy the red-nosed senator
Had a very shiny car
And if you ever saw it
You were probably near a bar
All of the politicians
Used to bribe and buy him drinks
Throw in a waitress sandwich
Quaffing Chivas till he stinks
