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.
Well, MLK was never a ‘public servant’, nor did he run for office.
*ALL* records, medical, IRS, civil and criminal, even if sealed for EVERY candidate for any office, period. You want one cent of public money you should have zero privacy.
Don’t know how true this is but Percy Sutton claimed that Obama’s benefactor was Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour a/k/a Donald Warden.

My starting point with this guy is he was a liar and a political hack only interested in advancing his political career. I presume the truth of what I read that the neck brace was a fake. The movie also depicts such.
I’d need more than just some sympathetic article from the media. I’d need some strong evidence to see it otherwise.
Thank you! Is Miss Lemon a reference to Poirot’s secretary?
Some WWII secrets weren't kept for 50 years.
We need to march on The Swamp if they try to remove President Trump.
Great question; maybe the same one who paid for the ‘free lunches’ for ppl to sit around on their butts for months during the whatever protests.
Curious no ‘investigative’ reporter asked that question.
(We'll just forget that the first name written in my Holy Communion white leather missal on the “Pray for..” page was “Mr. Kennedy”...that would be Jack. Small Catholic school, 2nd grade, the afternoon of his assassination was spent in our church, praying for “Mr. Kennedy”.)
Yes! I have every book and every episode of Poirot with David Suchet and Pauline Moran. Suchet is my favorite Poirot and the Acorn productions are so well done. Just a pleasure to watch a crime show without the shoot ‘em up stuff.
Thank you for asking. :-)
Movie coming out this week, infact looks like Thursday here in Newnan, GA.
Don’t know how they will describe the events. It seems to me that Kennedy was not in the car when it went over the bridge, but there are so many questions. Formost being the changing stories that he gave, and the cover up.
There was absolutely no public scrutiny of it.
He claims that he swam back to his room, but I saw some report that he was speaking to the manager of the motel at 2:30AM. Was he in wet clothes? Or was the hotel manager paid to lie.
You have him seen by Deputy Sheriff Look at around 12:45am. He supposedly left the part at midnight with her. Told no one they were leaving. SHe leaves her purse at the party.
I contend that he was so drunk, he didn’t recall what had happened. He last remembered driving, but I think he got out of the car when he was approached by Officer Look, and panicked. He drives off a piece, then gets out of the car. He tells her to drive down to the beach. She does, goes off the bridge.
He follows on foot, and of course, it’s dark and he doesn’t see the car in the water. He doesn’t see the car at the beach. So, what does he do. Sleep on the beach, swim back to Edgartown?
