Chappaquiddick?
Among the trailers for coming attractions when we saw The Post (excellent) there was one for Chappaquiddick. And we speculated of whether it is produced by the Koch brothers or by other RW entity. Why bring this story now, more than 45 years later?
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210255160Why now? Because there is no statute of limitations on Hollywood movie plots. Hollywood makes movies about things like the American Civil War and the Roman Republic and lots of other things from what is called history.

5. Scared of Joe Kennedy, are they?
Already?
What sleazebags these Republicans are.
And we need to start following their money. Is is Koch $$$ or Russian?
Scared of the drooling buffoon Joe Kennedy? Doubtful. I saw a movie about Julius Caesar the other day--probably funded by the Carthaginians.

32. Exactly my first thought...
This is RMNJ funded propaganda designed to lay the ground work for smearing the Kennedy name to a generation of dumbasses that have no regard for history and no perspective on anything outside of what they are told to think on the TV or Internet machines...
Ted Kennedy runs his car off a bridge and leaves a young woman to die--it really happened. How is that propaganda or a smear?

8. Hello --- he's DEAD!
So is Abe Lincoln, but they still make movies about him (not that I'm comparing the two since being dead is about all they have in common).

11. Maybe its a wacky comedy!
I thought about a road (well, maybe bridge) movie with Trump as Teddy, and Kim Jim Un as a preop TG Mary Jo.
How’s that sound?
Ted kennedy himself liked to hear Chappaquiddick jokes:
Ed Klein, a friend of Kennedy’s whose credentials included being Editor of Newsweek Magazine and the New York Times Magazine, made the stunning revelation, in an interview on National Public Radio, that Senator Kennedy loved “Chappaquiddick jokes” and eagerly solicited from his family and friends as to whether they had heard any recent such jokes.

55. Wow... a woman died horribly, tragically, and it was Ted Kennedy's fault.
He went on to do better things, but he's very lucky he didn't suffer more consequences than he did and IMO deserved to. I get not wanting to bring it up now, but to treat it as a joke is shocking. To repeat - a woman lost her life, parents lost their daughter, it was a tragedy, not comedy material.
