RUSH: Talk about how things have changed, in my first year, sometime between August of 1988 and September of 1989, there was a woman that called here, and she’s a big fan, and she was scared to death that I was going to be arrested for some of the things I was saying about the Kennedys, in public. And she was serious.
We were playing a song, a parody of The Wanderer, by DiMucci, Dion DiMucci, called <>a href=https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/videos/?groupId=5&episodeId=0?autoplay=true#!/38/27071/The-Philanderer>The Philanderer, sung by Ted Kennedy, and this woman was scared to death I was gonna get arrested. And she was serious! “You can’t say things like that about the Kennedys in public.” It hit me at that time, can you imagine what — she’s just a common citizen. She had not been arrested for anything herself. You just didn’t say these things in public, you just didn’t, and not get arrested for it or have some trouble descend upon you.
CHAPPAQUIDDICK Official Trailer (2018) Kate Mara, Jason Clarke Drama Movie HD
Speaking of the Kennedys, folks, you might have heard about the movie Chappaquiddick. You may have seen references to it, people talking about it. As a powerful, influential member of the media, I have seen it. And you talk about things that you can’t believe got made. I cannot believe this movie got made. This movie is exactly what happened. If this movie had been made within a year or two of the event, Ted Kennedy would have been finished then.
If the actual true story of what happened at Chappaquiddick had made the news in the immediate aftermath of the event, that would have been the end of Ted Kennedy’s political career. Chappaquiddick happened, what, 1969. And it has taken until 2018 for the truth of that event to be told in a mass media.
The movie opens April the 6th. Kate Mara plays Kopechne, plays Mary Jo Kopechne, who was left to die in a submerged car driven by Senator Kennedy, went off the Chappaquiddick bridge or the dike bridge at Chappaquiddick. He swam to safety and just told lie after lie. And the movie depicts how the Kennedy family and all in it banded together to protect Kennedy, how corrupt law enforcement was at the time.
It illustrates how the Kennedy family was living in a separate universe and were accountable for nothing that they did. And as I say, I cannot believe it got made. And it’s a real movie. It’s not some cheap knockoff that was put together in some two bit sound stage. It is a legitimate, full-fledged movie that looks every bit as majestic and theatrical as any movie of its name. I’m not talking about special effects, it’s a serious movie production. It’s not B, cheap, or any of that. And it debuts on the 6th of April. It’s amazing.
It stands to reason that it gets made after Senator Kennedy had passed away. If this had been made, come out during his life, that would be the end of his career at that moment. And it clearly illustrates that it should have been that, shortly after the event happened.
Do you remember the details of the story? (interruption) You just remember the highlights. Do you remember the Edgartown police? Do you remember Kennedy wearing the fake neck brace and all that? Public sympathy and so forth? There was no inquest. Just all kinds of things, I mean, everybody that was in law enforcement, the Kennedy family came together to rewrite that story. (interruption) Oh, she was left to die for hours before he even told anybody it had happened.
Well, the whole event was kind of suspect. It was a party. It was in July. It was on Chappaquiddick and it was a bunch of women that worked for Ted Kennedy at his office and other people. And it was a typical Kennedy drinking party, typical Easter weekend with the Kennedy family, although it wasn’t Easter. It was in the summertime. Anyway, when it comes out, I predict it’s gonna be well attended. But again, I can’t believe it got made given Hollywood of today. Or yesterday, for that matter.
Absolutely. The media protected the Kennedys for 40+ years. I was so surprised a few months ago, when channel-flipping, I came across a documentary about JFK on PBS. It spoke frankly of at least 4 of his major affairs, including Judith Exner and the implications of that. It even spoke of the lies about his war injuries, speculated about Marilyn Monroe's death, and covered allegations about fixing the election in IL. It was a real shock to see that on PBS, of all places.
I heard a rumor that the Kennedy family once asked the Dead Kennedys to change their name. The Dead Kennedys suggested "Ted's Next" as the new name.
Like I said, just a rumor, I have no idea if this actually happened. Maybe I should check Wikipedia and Snopes. (snort)
I can relate. I remember hearing Rush for the first time in his early days and thinking, "Who let this guy on the radio?" I didn't think he'd be arrested, but I didn't think he'd be allowed on the radio for very long.
“Chappaquiddick Film Would’ve Finished Teddy”
That’s why they waited nearly 10 years after the Son of a B*tch was dead before making it.
Teddy must be a hero..he’s married in the Arlington cemetery....vomit.
Auto correct strikes again!
Teddy must be a hero..he’s burried in the Arlington cemetery....vomit.
Rush is exactly on.
This is how the Left has protected its own for many decades.
Compare Chappaquiddick with Watergate.
Nobody died in Watergate.
Best Kennedy joke:
Why did Maria Shriver marry Arnold Schwarzenegger?
They’re trying to create bullet-proof Kennedys.
Because of this deliberate censorship of information the public needs to know, the public makes poor election choices. I have come to the realization that the media deliberately manipulates elections to favor their party, and our system of governance was not designed to operate where one side controls the entire means of communicating with the mass public.
We need to break this liberal monopoly on the broadcasting and entertainment systems of the US.
I heard a radio ad for this movie today driving to work. There was the usual “Rated PG-13 for string language, adult situations, and historical smoking.”
WTH is “historical smoking” No wonder I don’t watch many Hollyweird movies anymore.
“The problem we see in America today is that the only the left side of the political spectrum has “freedom of speech” in the manner the founders intended.”
See tagline.
Amen! Absolutely. It is the number one problem this nation faces, and so many people don't even realize things shouldn't be this way.
“and so many people don’t even realize things shouldn’t be this way.”
At least one other Freeper does: that would be the guy I stole that tag line from.
Letting a young girl die, no problem.
But a movie, that could ruin your career.
Well there is these guys....
Not my favorite genre, but:

AND replaced those dead/never born Americans with millions of third world legal and illegal aliens.
What I want to know is who paid for O’Zero’s college education. Is it that that information is still under seal?
As Tom Anderson of Farm and Ranch magazine commented at the time, he needed it to hold his head up.
