Democrat Hypocrisy: Kennedy Dodd Waitress Sandwich

GQ: Ted Kennedy On The Rocks

As Gaviglio enters the room, the six-foot-two, 225-plus-pound Kennedy grabs the five-foot-three, 103-pound waitress and throws her on the table. She lands on her back, scattering crystal, plates and cutlery and the lit candles. Several glasses and a crystal candlestick are broken. Kennedy then picks her up from the table and throws her on Dodd, who is sprawled in a chair. With Gaviglio on Dodd’s lap, Kennedy jumps on top and begins rubbing his genital area against hers, supporting his weight on the arms of the chair. As he is doing this, Loh enters the room. She and Gaviglio both scream, drawing one or two dishwashers. Startled, Kennedy leaps up. He laughs. Bruised, shaken and angry over what she considered a sexual assault, Gaviglio runs from the room. Kennedy, Dodd and their dates leave shortly thereafter, following a friendly argument between the senators over the check.

Chappaquiddick Aniversary

AoSHQ/J.J. Sefton: Morning Report

Volkswagen sued National Lampoon over the parody ad above. As part of the settlement, National Lampoon had to call back the magazines with this and issue a retraction. Which was this: “Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn’t be president today.” Anne Beatts did the parody. Good times.

Kate Mara in Chappaquiddick, The Movie

Kate Mara plays Mary Jo Kopechne

Kate Mara did not even know about what happened at Chappaquddick:

Kate Mara, who plays Kopechne, admits she didn’t even know about the story before signing on to the project. Meanwhile, the cast members and director John Curran yuk it up while Clarke shares compares Kennedy to movie icon Steve McQueen, the unofficial King of Cool.

Kate, your character ends up like your character Zoe Barnes in Season 2 of House of Cards...

Joe Kennedy (played by Bruce Dern) was the fixer (like Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction)

Vanity Fair: The End Of Camelot

This VF article sums it up well...

RIP Mary Jo Kopechne

Deadline: Chappaquiddick

Powerline: Chappaquiddick Reckoning (at last)?

No doubt Kopechne tried to hold on, assuming that her idol, Ted Kennedy, had gone for help. Instead, Kennedy tried to establish an alibi. Periodically through the night, he would wander from his hotel room down to the hotel lobby, and ostentatiously ask the night clerk what time it was, saying that his watch had stopped. The following morning, Kennedy was leaving to participate in the day’s regatta when someone walked up to him and asked whether he had heard that a girl’s body had been found in Poucha Pond. 

All of this has been documented in various books about the incident. Ted Kennedy was a coward and a fool. When the Kennedy family’s consiglieres gathered in Hyannis Port to decide how to deal with the crisis, Ted wasn’t even invited to the meeting. He was considered too stupid to be helpful, and busied himself flying a kite on the beach. He later attended Kopechne’s funeral with a fake neck brace around his neck, intended to suggest, falsely, that he had been injured in the accident. 

The fact that the Democratic Party still reveres Ted Kennedy tells you everything you need to know about how low that party has fallen.

Let's not forget John McCain reveres Ted too...

Daily Mail: Mary Jo Kopechne was one of Bobbie Kennedy's Boiler Girls

Instapundit: What are the critics saying about Chappaquiddik:Variety's review by Owen Gleiberman does not hold back:

“Chappaquiddick” [...] is fundamentally the portrait of a weasel: a man who, from the moment the accident happens, takes as his premise that he will not suffer the consequences, and then does what it takes to twist reality so that it conforms to that scenario [...]

Kopechne’s body was found in a position that implied that she was struggling to keep her head out of the water. And what the film suggests is that once the car turned upside down, she didn’t die; she was alive and then drowned, after a period of time, as the water seeped in. This makes Edward Kennedy’s decision not to report the crime a clear-cut act of criminal negligence — but in spirit (if not legally), it renders it something closer to an act of killing.

Joe Biden would be a grabby sea lion...

They don't call him Grabby Biden for nothing. These sea mammals are called sea lions for a reason. To be fair, this sea lion really didn't take a bite out of this girl. It could have been far worse: the '[Sea] Lion of the Senate' Ted Kennedy actually killed a girl.

Sea lions weigh hundreds of pounds, have a jaws and teeth that are comparable to a lion's, and have become very acclimatized to being around people. People don't appreciate how wild these animals are. Which reminds me of one of my favorite books: Death In Yellowstone (Bisons are #1 killers of stupid tourists).

Ode to Mary Jo

It was just after the 18th of July, another privileged stuffy Vineyard day
I was planning to get on the hammock, nurse a hangover, and lay
And at dinner time I stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mother directed that I wipe my feet
And then she said, I got some news this morning not far from Oak Bluff ridge
Yesterday, Teddy Kennedy drove off the Chappaquiddick Bridge

And father said to mother, as he passed around the green peas
Well, Teddy Kennedy never had a lick of sense; pass the gin, please
There's five more weeks left on our summer house this season now
And mother said it was shame about Mary Jo, anyhow
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up near Oak Bluff ridge
And now Teddy Kenedy's drove off the Chappaquiddick Bridge

And brother said he recollected when he, and Teddy, and Mary Jo
Got drunk and went to the Edgartown picture show
And wasn't I talking to him after the party function last Sunday night?
I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the cocktail party yesterday near Oak Bluff ridge
And now ya tell me Teddy Kennedy's drove off the Chappaquiddick Bridge

And mother said to me, child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cooking all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
Those nice young friends of Ted, dropped by today
Said they'd be please to talk to you about last night, by the way
They said they saw a 'boiler room' girl that looked a lot like you not far from Oak Bluff ridge
And she and Teddy was throwing something off the Chappaquiddick Bridge

Humor (sometimes) works too:

The National Lampoon Encyclopedia of Humor, 1973, edited by Michael O'Donoghue and art directed by Gross. 

This publication featured the fake Volkswagen ad seen above, which was written by Anne Beatts. The spoof was listed in the contents page as "Doyle Dane Bernbach," the name of the advertising agency that had produced the iconic 1960s ad campaign for Volkswagen. According to Mark Simonson's "Very Large National Lampoon Site":
"If you buy a copy of this issue, you may find the ad is missing. As a result of a lawsuit by VW over the ad for unauthorized use of their trademark, NatLamp was forced to remove the page (with razor blades!) from any copies they still had in inventory (which, from what I gather, was about half the first printing of 250,000 copies) and all subsequent reprints. For what it's worth, Ted Kennedy didn't sue."
