Ted Kennedy: Lion or Jackal?

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.

What he did to our sworn ally South Vietnam marks him out as a true monster in the ancient sense of the word. Not to mention what it was to our veterans.

Hey...don't diss pigs, buddy. They are paragons of virtue by comparison to any of the Kennedy family.

Good article to remind us of the highlights of Kennedy’s low life. Left out the one where he wakes up his nephew and goes on a FL drunken rape fest, but hey, I’m sure they had a paragraph limit. Only so many scandals fit in an article.

And no mention of his wife, Joan. Ted Kennedy destroyed that woman with his philandering and with the death of Mary Jo.

How is the media handling this movie?

I doubt they want to applaud it and change their collective minds about Ted-ward.

So, will they attack it and call it an Alt-Right or Republican-leaning movie?

Or, most likely, hope it goes away with few people seeing it and questioning them about it?
