Senator Edward Kennedy, one of the most famous members of America’s most famous family, understood that he belonged as much to popular culture as to political culture. Now, nine years after his death, comes a movie about the event that, almost as much as the circumstances of his birth, established him in the tabloid pantheon: Chappaquiddick.

To the NYT Idiots trying to purvey utter BS: It distorts nothing other than confirm that T. Kennedy should have gone to prison but because the laws are applied unequally among all classes of men, the sh*t of a man got off scot-free.
The Grey Lady is still dropping her drawers for the Kennedys, I see...
50 years later and nothing changes.
Just like they did for Stalin.
nyt = malignancy on civil society
scumbag kennedy = malignancy on civil society

birds of a feather...
I suspect this movie is able to be made now only as a result of the rash of sexual abuse and harassment charges. The "me too" movement has made the exposure of leftwing icons possible. Not to allow this movie today would hold Hollywood up to intense charges of hypocrisy.
Idea for a bumper sticker just came to mind....
Ted Kennedy’s illegally operated car killed more people than my legally owned firearm.
Excellent summary!
Only thing I’d add is that Ted, the poor guy supposedly suffering from shock and a concussion, managed to make a slew of phone calls, IIRC, between your points 6 and 9.
What do you have, a Semi-trailer?
How about, “TK killed more people than my gun”
Young’uns won’t know who TK is.
Good point about the length, however!
Here’s a good selection...

The huge point is that he could have saved her. He should have saved her. Kennedy left her to die. What kind of human would do that?
Protecting the Legacy of the LYIN of the Senate.
BTW - Ted Kennedy made colluding with the Russians a Democrat tradition.
If this Guy’s daughter was the one left trapped to die a horrible death in Teddy’s Oldsmobile, I doubt he would be calling this a Tragedy.
“-———————so one tampers with his life at the peril of turning it into tawdry melodrama.’
His life WAS a tawdry melodrama.

I have absolutely no intention of seeing this movie. We all know what happened, more or less, so what’s the point? Besides, there must be some ulterior motive for producing it, or Hollyweird wouldn’t have done it. Probably just trying to put the story to bed, once and for all, so Chapstick Kennedy can move on up. Massachusetts LOVES their Kennedys.
Liberals are so cute when they try to make believe they are relevant. Here’s a tip NY Slimes no one but the half wits that read your rag believe this was a hit piece.
“nothing much” was covered up...
Well, because in large part, there WAS pretty much nothing. I mean, it was a single drunken and completely irresponsible mistake of which perhaps many of us are equivalently guilty; though I would hope that as many of us are equivalently guilty we did not cause the death of another person or persons. But it’s not like there was dossier a written by A and sent to B to be peddled by foreigner C so it could be used for D while E covered for F constructing distraction G.
In that sense, it was blandly and abasedly simple.
No. Probably 25% full. This was one of the new luxury theaters with electric reclining seats with only 8 to a row. $12 to a ticket.
Maybe she was dick?
I have a diehard Democrat friend who lives in the midst of Kennedys in NYS, and even she recognizes them and their legends for what they are.
