I’ve watched several and also the interview of the embalmer and the diver. He wasn’t in the car.

I agree with that assessment... the neck brace was very clever though.

He changed his story. In the end, he came across as being the hero, who tried to save the girl.

I think he may have thought he was the driver. I think he blacked out, and probably did not recall getting out of the car, when Look saw them.

Regarding the story, he left the party to go down to the beach with her. she left her purse at the party. They told no one they were leaving.

I think he surmised that the truth would be worse that the story he gave.

Truth:”I left the party with Mary Jo to get some fresh air at the beach. We passed a squad car. I was driving, and had Mary Jo stop the car and let me out. I didn’t want to be caught in the car with her by the police. It would have looked bad. Mary Jo drove off to the beach. I followed her there, and didn’t see the car when I got there and surmised that she had gone back to the party. I laid down on the beach and took a nap. I woke up after a couple hours and swam back to my motel room.” etc.

I contend that the only thing this guy remembered was that he was driving the car. I don’t think he remembers anything.

Have you ever spoken to an alcoholic who’s had a black out? They are in a panic. They remember nothing. It scares them. I’m sure this guy was too smashed to recall anything.

Window glass, on the driver side was shattered. There were no scratches on her or him. She was driving. the car was going almost 40 miles an hour when it hit the bridge and vaulted into the air. It’s dark, they’re upside down.

Kennedy was loved all over the world, not at first. He was hated here. But I kinda liked him, being young at the time in grade school. He was hip.

Then came the All in the Family Album.

Kennedy was quick on his feet with the press.

Clearly he had good PR people.

I think Trump is similar. He will change the world for the better. Young people will see this.

I saw on video of him, and the neck collar was on backwards. Yeah, really clever. One week later, and he’s wearing the darn thing.

Mary Jo: Teddy, I'm pregnant.

Teddy: Well, babe, we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.


Police: Mister Kennedy, why did it take you 10 hours to call us?

Teddy: You got any idea how long it takes to dress a woman underwater???

The day after the accident, the loathsome Boston Globe printed a full-color first page picture of Kennedy giving his mother a bunch of roses.

Hooray for Hollywood.Such bravery to reveal the untold story of the sordid Kennedy clan - five decades later.

Such courage. Such inimitable bravery.

Ted Kennedy, the LYIN of the Senate.

Well, that’s how they should have spelled it anyway.

I once worked for a manager who loathed me, an honest employee, and revered Sam Giancana. He was a dinner guest of the mobster’s once, and openly bragged about it while praising the man’s charisma.

The average American is corrupt, and admires criminals. See William Clinton. See Barack Obama. See Al Capone.

See the almost religious fervor with which Americans, both left and right, worship The Godfather series, and quote it more readily than The Bible.

We all make choices. I value rule of law. I have always refused to watch films that glorify such evil.

Great story, but we both know it was the Russians at the behest of Donald J. Trump who killed Mary Jo to frame Teddy.

One of my favorite lines, “My Guns have killed exactly one less person than Ted Kennedy did using his Oldsmobile”.

That’s right. They were given an “offer they can’t refuse”.

Many Republicans are also threatened and conflicted.

And at Kennedy's Catholic funeral (contrary to the normal reading of canon law 1184) a recent letter to the Pope, delivered by Obama, was read at his graveside, in which he insolently asserts he “never failed to believe and respect the fundamental teachings” of his church, and tried to be a faithful Catholic, etc.. The closest thing we get to any kind of contrition is the ambiguous, “I know that I have been an imperfect human being, but with the help of my faith, I have tried to right my path,” before he goes on to to defend his wonderful works, including universal health care. Not a word of remorse about supporting abortion or promoting homosexual rights, or indolence and a welfare state.

In his response, no apparent censure was described at all, but in the response, written, as usual, through a senior Vatican official, he stated,

“He was saddened to know of your illness, and has asked me to assure you of his concern and his spiritual closeness. He is particularly grateful for your promise of prayers for him and for the needs of the universal Church."

The Holy Father has read the letter which you entrusted to President Barack Obama, who kindly presented it to him during their recent meeting. His Holiness prays that in the days ahead you may be sustained in faith and hope, and granted the precious grace of joyful surrender to the will of God our merciful Father. He invokes upon you the consolation and peace promised by the Risen Savior to all who share in His sufferings and trust in His promise of eternal life.

Commending you and the members of your family to the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Father cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of wisdom, comfort and strength in the Lord."

After the Clintons died they met Stalin, Hitler, and Mao and told them...

...'well, ha ha, it was fun while it lasted. I could sure use some Ice on that.' said in Bill's inimitable drawl and Hilary's grating screech.
