AP: Fifty Years Ago on a Bridge in Chappaquiddick, Ted Kennedy's Car Made an Oopsie
Ted Kennedy didn't have anything to do with it. It was all the car.
50 years ago today, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne, 28; some time later, Kennedy's car went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned. pic.twitter.com/X7jCFJcyJw

Still, the Democrats were right: he WAS the perfect Democrat icon. A rapist, drunk murderer, he totally fits their party.

That's true. The Kennedys are mega-rich. That was the world's first autonomous car.
The amazing part, though, is still how he managed to get out and not remember anything about it or check to see if she wanted to come out, too. Instead, he just walks away and pleads "exhaustion" later.
He should have been put on the rack, that day.

Side story - Ted had been kicked out of Harvard for cheating and Joe bought Ted's way back in by having him attend an ROTC boot camp and making a sizable donation. This is about 1950, 51 I think.
So a totally pasted drunk Ted has to be assisted to the podium and propped up during his introduction.

The story bears repeating.
Ted hired someone to take his final exam in Spanish (not vector calculus, surprisingly enough). But then he was stupid enough to be walking around Harvard Square during the examination, and ran into his instructor, who of course recognized him.
Now what kind of an idiot lacks the basic intelligence to lie low for three hours? For that matter, what kind of an idiot cannot master Spanish? (We're not talking about Mandarin here.)

It's accurate, IMO.
I had the same thought on touring Graceland. The carpet on the walls of the staircase, the twelve foot long sofa facing two king- and queen-style seats, and the plastic plants in the jungle room kinda said it all.
I was in Memphis on business, rented a car, and realized that Graceland was around the corner, and so went on the tour. The assembled multitudes had hushed respect and awe, while another wise-ass and I hung back and goofed on the whole thing. It's a wonder we weren't lynched.

I graduated from college the following spring and had to suffer through a Ted Kennedy commencement speech. Happily, none of the students applauded; we all stood up at the end of his blather and turned our backs on Rose's little boy. None of the parents applauded either, and a good many of them wanted to know why the Masshole hadn't been "deplatformed." That was the year when a lot of colleges cancelled graduation altogether because of Cambodia, and the administration told both parents and students that we were lucky we hadn't been threatened with some kind of leftist acting-out.

Edward Kennedy overcame an impoverished, hardscrabble background to matriculate at Harvard, where he developed a reputation for originality. Afterwards his accomplishments were such that the voters of Massachusetts clamored to elect him senator at 30.
When faced with a deep personal crisis, he responded, "Let justice be done, though the heavens may fall." His green-eyeshade approach to public spending and his strict obedience to constitutional principles led to the friendly title of "The Taxpayer's Friend".
A faithful husband and devoted father, he was the living embodiment of his Catholic faith. We will never see his kind again.

The funniest part was the stables, which had been converted into a shrine showing the variety of Elvis's outfits. It was kind of like looking at the Van Gogh paintings as he descended into madness, as the outfits became more and more bizarre.
Some crone next to the wise-ass and me - OK, the two wise-asses - respectfully said, "It must have been so wonderful being Elvis."
"Really? Does this look to you like the wardrobe of a happy, well-adjusted person? He dressed like a Klingon field marshal!"

Those kinds of stories give me great comfort - because the Left has finally been driven to the point where they admit openly that it isn't really Trump they hate, the people they really really hate our US. They've accepted that Trump represents US, and they hate us, and they hate America because of that.
And this is the message they're going to take into the election.
and if you go to the link and read what Hayes proposes to do, you can see that he's pretty much adopted the Marianne Williamson political philosophy, which is the funniest part of the entire story. He says that they can all conquer the world with the Power of Love.

I seem to recall hearing that when Jackie was on her deathbed, she told a good friend to not let Jr. get his pilot's license. I think she knew he didn't have the mental acuity to handle it. Mothers know their children's shortcomings.

After that nitwit went into the drink people - mostly gals, because he was male model material - on a bulletin board were blubbing about how we'd lost a great leader.
Great leader? He was a pretty boy, but he obviously had the IQ of a rutabaga. Even Prince Charles was laughing at what an idiot he was.

Edward Kennedy overcame an impoverished, hardscrabble background to
matriculate at Harvard, where he developed a reputation for originality.
Afterwards his accomplishments were such that the voters of
Massachusetts clamored to elect him senator at 30.
When faced with a deep personal crisis, he responded, "Let justice
be done, though the heavens may fall." His green-eyeshade approach to
public spending and his strict obedience to constitutional principles
led to the friendly title of "The Taxpayer's Friend".
A faithful husband and devoted father, he was the living embodiment of his Catholic faith. We will never see his kind again.

That, and that he was SO stupid as not to realize that flying EAST into the gathering gloom would make finding a tiny island even more difficult than usual.
That, plus not being instrument-rated. I spoke with a commercial pilot shortly afterwards, who told me that pilots call night flights over the ocean "flying in the inkwell," something that is terrifying until and unless you master trusting your instruments.

The Plantagenets were the Normans. Actually, William and his children were considered so domestic that they were made fun of. Empress Maude married Geoffery Plantegenet and was pretty normal for someone fighting her cousin for usurping her crown and Henry II was the sane one in the marriage with Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was their children, who spent so much time trying to over throw Henry, with her help, who screwed up the whole mess.

Yep. I was just reporting what he said. Apparently it's especially unnerving over ocean because there are no lights below.
And as you say, the pilot also said it's easy to be descending slowly and not realize it, and you can't judge your altitude because there's nothing visible below.
Same thing with turns. Hijackers have been foiled by pilots turning around so slowly that they didn't realize it. Presumably that would be at night.

It has guardrails today. Drunks were not supposed to cross it in the dark, there's nothing on the other side. I mean there is, it's a sandbar and there are lots of good reasons to go to a sandbar day or night.
But it's not between places that people drive. Ted was lost. He'd missed the turn he was supposed to take and he was drunk and speeding and ran into the bridge to the sandbar. He wasn't even trying to be there.

Yep. Kinda big ocean, kinda small island, kinda dark. If you miss it the first time, you probably won't find it.
One of my teammates was a commercial pilot who had all the navigation gear go out on his jetliner in the mid-Pacific between Honolulu and Tokyo. All he had left was the compass. That's it.
He turned the plane back to Honolulu, and said he was terrified of missing those small islands under those conditions. He found them, obviously, and got out and kissed the ground.
I bet you couldn't find a free stall in the Honolulu airport after the passenger disembarked.

Didn't the radio work? If it did, they could give him course corrections.
My grandfather was a navigator during WW II on the trans-Atlantic supply routes, flying in a bomber with the guns removed carrying priority cargo and passengers.
They had electronic navigation aids, but the Germans spoofed them, so during daylight they tried to go by the sun position and known weather, at night the stars.
One trip heavy overcast came in and combined with a shift in wind direction, they tried to land at the wrong base - with hilarious results!

I'm familiar with Chappaquiddick at the time of the accident. There is a two lane paved road that starts from the ferry in Edgartown (the one in the scene in "Jaws") and goes to the center of the island, Chappaquiddick Road. The first time I visited it, a month after the accident, the scope of Kennedy's lies really hit home.
Kennedy claimed that he thought he was heading towards the ferry on Chappaquiddick Road, and took a wrong turn.
It was actually a 180 "wrong turn" off a paved road, onto a bumpy unpaved gravel road (i.e. Dike Road) thick with summer vegetation. The turn happened at a point where Chappaquiddick Road took a sharp 90 degree turn to the left. Kennedy took a sharp 90 degree turn to the right. There is no way in hell he did not know where he was going.
What about getting help?
Dike Road had lots of cottages and houses occupied at peak tourist season. The nearest house was roughly about 100 yards from the bridge. He just needed to walk to it, bang on the door, and ask for help.
Instead, he walked all of Dike Road, and miles back on Chappaquiddick Road to the compound, passing countless occupied homes, while Mary Jo was probably struggling to breath. His minions at the compound were as complicit. Not calling immediately for help, but brainstorming on how to do damage control while Teddy sobered up.

The sobering up is the crucial piece. If they'd called the authorities Kennedy would've been rung up for drunk driving even in Massachusetts, and if they'd hadn't been able to save Mary Jo, he'd have been rung for manslaughter as well for killing someone while driving drunk.
But once he'd sobered up, he could claim it was just an accident, and while it obviously wasn't, he had a fig leaf that sufficed by Massachusetts' standards.

Jack was a useless turd, just like Ted. He was a Celtic affirmative action fuck-up, the only CO in naval history in a small fast boat to get run down by a much larger ship, for which the Navy wanted him court-martialed for dereliction of duty until Joe intervened. Since the sea was dead calm that night, they'd have heard the Jap destroyer approaching at speed unless they were all asleep. Hence the impetus for a court-martial.

Using Google Maps (satellite view, so see what's really there) to look at the Dike Bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, one notices that the Dike Bridge now has a rather extensive guardrail
Scrolling west, along the Dike Road to where it ends at Chappaquiddick Road, one notices that the Dike Road is much narrower than Chappaquiddick Road, and clearly not of the same paved quality. The intersection is much more of a turn-off than an intersectikon, as Chappaquiddick Road makes a large left curve at that location, and there is a bit of an open triangle-shaped area, prior to the Dike Road proper.
The area has trees and lots of vegetation just off the road, and contemporary (1968 vintage) photos confirm this. It looks like leaving either of the roads would stick almost all passenger cars ... immediately. Someone who lived/partied there would know for sure.
The Chappaquiddick Road curve is large enough and the open space large enough such that someone who was lost or confused would have trouble NOT staying on the Chappaquiddick Road curve, or at least NOT leaving the open space by any other means that Chappaquiddick Road ...
... unless leaving Chappaquiddick Road was The Point.
I cannot imagine how the local law enforcement could not find a case here.

And another new verb is created from a noun.
My mom was a JFK fan, having being an 21-year-old Catholic girl in a small union town 1960. She had a copy of "Profiles in Courage," which I read as a young boy and was most impressed.
Years later I learned that it was ghostwritten -- a fraudulent concept I had a hard time wrapping my head around, and still do. I love that Reagan and Trump generally have written their own speeches.

On July 18, 1969, at approximately 11:15 p.m. in Chappaquiddick, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown. I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street. After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge. The car went off the side of the bridge. There was one passenger with me, one Miss Mary,[Notes 2] a former secretary of my brother Sen. Robert Kennedy. The car turned over and sank into the water and landed with the roof resting on the bottom. I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock. I recall walking back to where my friends were eating. There was a car parked in front of the cottage and I climbed into the backseat. I then asked for someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period and then going back to my hotel room. When I fully realized what had happened this morning, I immediately contacted the police.
Did you catch it? He goes from active first person to passive third/observer right at the key moment. That can be a clue that he's leaving something out, denying something (that happened) and possibly lying about the next part. "I was driving..." "I was unfamiliar with the road..." "I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge..." Then, "The car went off the side of the bridge." So, everything up to coming up to the bridge is on him, but suddenly "the car" takes over and goes off the bridge.
If you're an investigator reading this, your antenna should be up, because sudden shifts in perspective are an indication that the writer doesn't want to face a fact and doesn't want the reader to face it, either. Later on, he refers to Miss Kopechne as "the passenger," instead of using her name, as he had earlier. She's more inanimate, less human with an identity.
