On April 6, Chappaquiddick, a movie detailing the events involving Senator Ted Kennedy on Martha's Vineyard in July 1969, will be released. That incident demonstrated the depths to which the Kennedys were willing to go to salvage the political career of the last of the Kennedy sons. In subsequent years, the actions of Ted Kennedy that night were forgiven by the Democrats, as were subsequent actions as noted below.

The movie is based on a book, Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Coverup, by Leo J. Damore, who committed suicide in 1995.

Well, that is the official version, at least. The Kennedy family exerted pressure to block the making and release of the current movie. Similar pressure was reportedly put on Mr. Damore, which may have added to the issues that resulted in his death.

In the history of politics in this nation, few families have equaled the Kennedys in both political power and despicability for their personal actions.

After being expelled from Harvard for cheating, he was allowed, as is the custom at Harvard, to return the next year. After all, he is a Kennedy.

I can’t get past, “Where were his peers and the press for 50 years?” They’re all complicit in my book.
