“This one’s for you, Mary Jo.” So read signs in the Bay State in 2010, when Republican Scott Brown won the Senate seat opened up by the passing of Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy. Even before the film “Chappaquiddick,” the stain scrubbed at so hard by some of those featured in the movie had never been wholly erased.
The senator, weak as he was, was hardly the worst of the people depicted. That honor goes to the fixers, who showed up to “help” him escape the consequences of his actions. They saved his career, but not his reputation. And they gave to themselves the stigma they merit, and to his dead brothers a guilt-by-relation they did not deserve.
By 1969, when the accident happened, the Kennedys had been through a series of tortured transitions, when one of its sons met a violent ending, and the expectations around him passed on to the next: Joseph "Joe" P. Kennedy Jr. was killed in the war, and the torch passed to John F. Kennedy; JFK was killed, and the torch passed to Robert "Bobby" F. Kennedy; Bobby was murdered, and the torch passed to Ted, by whom it was dropped.

JFK - the last real good Democrat! Before they became the liberal, socialist, vote-grabbing scumbags of the universe!
I remember well what really happened here. It was astounding how the Fake Media was hiding facts even back then. Kennedy literally got away with murder. MaryJo, it was reported, was a nice girl and didn't want to spend the night with the 'party group' and Kennedy was supposed to be taking her back so she could get home. The rest is history.
Glad this story is finally being exposed. May God Bless MaryJo's parents and family.
Ted Kennedy was a total slime-ball,how the people of Massatwoshits kept re-electing him is unfathomable.
I was also turned off by the way he treated his wife Joan. She held back a lot of things she could have said, but Kennedy women have always stood by their men even if they didn't deserve it, all the way back to Rose Kennedy.
He ruined her life then spent the rest of his ruining ours.
He was the big disappointment of the Kennedy clan.
