Nine Hours

 

1. "The Bridge at Chappaquiddick” lays out this scenario:

   Ted & MaryJo left the party to spend some quality time alone.  They parked on the dirt road leading to the bridge. A sheriff came to investigate, Ted bailed and MaryJo drove off alone at high speed toward that bridge. Ted went home and was ignorant of anything wrong until next AM.

   Sound plausible to me. Any comments ... this time?

2. He’s the gift that keeps on giving taking talking.

   I dunno that he ever did actually notify the authorities, nevermind the newsies. I don’t think he did.

   Hypocricy, thy name is Edward Kennedy.

3. Oink - Sounds very plausible, but.... then there is the infamous picture of our boy with a neck collar.  Did he sprain his neck throwing back beers? And he did acknowledge driving the car..

   The White House Press corps wants to know!  Why weren’t we told this?

   In the meantime, Kennedy is still a disgusting caricature of a politician.

4. dick—The neck brace is generally regarded as a ruse in any case.  Yes, curious that negligent manslaughter was chosen over “out getting some nookie”. If true—it’s a convincing scenario; allegedly a witness saw him next morning, happy until someone delivered news.  Who know?

5. Oink - Maybe his warped political mind said “I’ll acknowledge a potential negligent manslaughter event, because that would mean that I had an unfortunate accident while merely driving someone home; whereas getting some strange nookie is no accident and my wife and the press will skewer me.  Besides I can beat the manslaughter rap.”

   Didn’t he bring some other guys back to the scene that night? Were they all lying about being there?

   Interesting that the thank-you party at a secluded location at night had exactly six single girls and exactly six married men sans wives.  I doubt we’ll ever know the real truth about who was driving and who was where and when.  Something else I just thought of - Kennedy is over 6’ tall and MJK was a little bitty thing.  I wonder where the seat was adjusted?  Yeah, but she skedaddled in hurry without a chance to adjust and that’s why she couldn’t reach the brake pedal.  Oh well.

   Teddie is still a worthless POS either way.

6. oh, yes. 

   Teddy is just the *epitome* of an honorable man.

   And Dolly Parton sleeps on her stomach.

7. I saw a film of Ted, in a rowboat, face down, with his bare butt bobbing up and down. It was so grainy and unfocused to be barely visible.  But it was clear enough to see what he was engaged in. For you innocents: ( )

   One of his Senate colleagues remarked to Ted, “I see you’ve dropped your opposition to offshore drilling.”

9. Doll: It is disturbing. The thought of Ted in the boat, I mean, OCM’s is merely gory. Maybe the “Kennedy Curse” does exist, in the person of the patriarch, Joe.  The crack of dawn wasn’t safe from him.  What a tragic life Rose Kennedy had.

10. Oink
    Well....*ole joe* was certainly pithy anough to conjur a curse upon his family.

    Rose Kennedy did have a tragic life, her history amazed me ....that she could live, by all accounts....with quiet dinity and grace....speaks of her faith, inner personal fortitude , perseverance, and sheer will power.

11. Ruth told me that Rose made a conscious & deliberate choice to tolerate Joe’s philandering** for the sake of her family.  Maybe she should have tossed him out on his ass and divorced him for adultery, for the sake of the kids.

    **in olden days what they called ing around.

    P.S. I’ll be damned if we’re not on topic!

12. Less important in worldly terms, but still part of her pain, no question, eh?

    I like the late Mike Royko’s advice for wives in that situation. Do NOT go out to face the cameras holding the PIG’s !!! hand and being supportive.  Send him out to face them alone, lock the deadbolt, and start tossing his clothes out the bedroom window.
