Chappaquiddick

Why was this movie made?

It can't be for the profit potential.

And it was made last year and will be released in about 10 days. Why the delay?

Is there a delusion that by dredging up the past (no pun intended) this will have an impact on the Midterm Elections?

1. It is an old old old RW talking point event.

You know they are desperate when they dredge it up (and then someone makes a movie about it). I remember reading about it coming out but then forgot about it until this commercial.

16. Sorry, did not realize this is connected with a Kennedy running for office

Damn.
Wonder why the republicans have a memory block for the trump family KKK shit in the 20’s?

A photograph that purports to show Donald Trump's parents wearing Klan robes is a hoax.

14. I could see some historical value in "The King's Speech"

(and the Queen is said to have liked the movie).

"Chappaquiddick" serves no such purpose and may only hurt the members of the family who were in no way connected to the scandal.

23. I was already an adult when Chappaquiddick happened,

and I have reasonably clear memories of the event. I also read a book about it which came out a good twenty or more years later, which was neither a whitewash nor a smear job, but about as balanced as it could have been.

My main reason not to bother to see the movie is that (and I just watched the preview) I simply won't learn anything new.

How ****ing old is Poindexter?
The Chappaquiddick incident was a single-vehicle car accident on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, on Friday, July 18, 1969. I was 6 at the time. If Poin' was an adult, lets say 21, then he's pushing 70...

:whatever:

Well, Skins does have a demographical problem coming up, when it comes to primitives.

He's getting hardly any young ones, and as the old ones get older, they die off.

To be fifty years old and to be a primitive, is to be a young 'un.

If I were my fellow alum Skins, I'd cash in and go on to something else.

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?

Oh, the irony! You shouldn't make a movie about ancient history of the Democrat royal family, but ancient history about the Pentagon Papers is fair game.

Also a good opportunity to spot a DUmmie out in the wild I hope.

Post by: SVPete on April 06, 2018, 08:23:48 AM: Watergate happened in 1972, and Nixon resigned in 1974. No one died. Hollyweird released "All the President's Men" in 1976.

Chappaquiddick happened in 1969. Kennedy left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown, which she did. Hollyweird didn't release Chappaquiddick until nearly 50 years after the event, and long after Teddy's (natural) death. Hollyweirders should be hearing WTF questions, often.

I actually was 21 when Teddy murdered Mary Jo Kopechne.
2 things saved the bastard's skin in those days.

1st: The news of his crime got lost in the excitement of the 1st moon landing on July 20th. It wasn't much more than a minor local headline at the time.
2nd: The Kennedy family was, and still is, royalty in Masshole. Connections and influence allowed the asshole to escape responsibility.
No autopsy? Was she pregnant as has been alleged? He was obviously drunk, he always was. Her family settled out of court?

It was only when the damned drunk tried to primary Carter that he was schlonged by his past.

I've always thought that Papa Joe should have had Teddy lobotomized instead of Rose Mary to protect the family from embarrassment.

As long as we’re on the subject of humor this morning, what kind of jokes did the late Ted Kennedy like to tell his closest friends? One of Kennedy’s close friends, former editor of Newsweek and New York Times Magazine Ed Klein, tells the Diane Rehm Show that Chappaquiddick jokes were high up on the list

Quote
I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, “have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?”

https://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/28/one-of-his-favorite-topics-of-humor-was-indeed-chappaquiddick-itself/

Also, I read somewhere that Ted Kennedy named his dog Splash. What a zany sense of humor.

Look at the tweet from the NYT.
Title: Re: Chappaquiddick
Post by: Mary Ann on April 07, 2018, 11:25:05 AM: The NYT had a review of the movie today (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/06/opinion/chappaquiddick-ted-kennedy-distortortion.html#commentsContainer)which totally trashes the film.

I enjoyed the comments on the review. Most took the reviewer to task, and pointed out Fat Teddy's lies, obfuscation, and leaving a woman to suffocate as he and his co-conspirators plotted PR.

One commenter, however, claimed to have worked in media within a few years after the incident, and said that "gossip" in the newsroom was that Mary Jo was asleep in the backseat as Teddy and a different woman headed off to the beach. The car went off the bridge, and they both escaped. Teddy didn't know until the next day that someone else had been in the car. So, why did he confess? Why, he was soooo gallant that he was protecting the reputation of the lady he was involved with, of course.

Unlikely, to the point of being complete :bs2flag:

Post by: SVPete on April 07, 2018, 11:32:07 AM: Teddy the Snorkel (I haven't used that nickname since ... I don't know ... maybe not in this century) drove the car into the water, left the car in the water and didn't report the accident until many hours later. IOW, Teddy the Snorkel left Mary Jo Kopechne trapped, to drown. Anything ignoring or minimizing those simple, stark facts is distortion, the very distortion the MSM has been perpetrating on the public for nearly 50 years.

OK I did see the movie last night and recommend it highly. The fact that the NYT is critical of it speaks volumes.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW.........SPOILER ALERT BELOW........... SPOILER ALERT BELOW

Ted Kennedy was a sexual predator and murdering scumbag.

So from one side of their mouths DU-folk claim Trump is a sexual predator based on something he didn't actually say while from the other sides of their mouth they defend predator-murderer Teddy the snorkel and BJ Billy. And voted for the latter's defender-enabler.
