Chappaquiddick was an incredible film. It’s been half a century since 1969, and I’m here to explain the significance of the Chappaquiddick Incident a little better. It effectively ended the Kennedy family’s long political supremacy, perfectly in time for American to have a steady conservative shift from the 1970s onward

Several years ago National Lampoon (a humor magazine) ran a fake VW ad about the VW Beetle. The ad showed a picture of a Beetle floating in a pond and a bridge with a broken rail and the headline said "If Ted Kennedy had been driving a VW he'd be president today." The text talked about the Bug's unibody construction and how this made it nearly air tight and would actually float. The text ended with something like, "A Beetle won't float forever because, like Ted Kennedy, it's only 98.9% airtight."

@jfs78 4 года назад

I have driven over that bridge. Which has long since been replaced. We used to call it Kennedy's car wash. To get over the channel between Chappaquiddick and Edgartown in Martha's Vineyard. It required a very strong ferry called the "on time" to get you back and forth to both sides because the current was so very strong...Swimming across this channel is very difficult for a experienced swimmer. I spent a lot of time there in the mid 1970s and talked to lots of people there about this.

This is the most obvious, and most likely, answer. Legally, there is a vast difference in how the law treats a car accident that results in death depending on whether or not the operator was intoxicated. Had he reported the accident immediately, there would have been some sort of field sobriety test administered, or blood sample taken.

There are interviews with Fords great grandson as well as interviews with Shelby and others involved with the project. The first model car that I ever built was of the Ford GT40.

@gatocat3336 6 месяцев назад

I heard another version of the story: that the real. reason Ted Kennedy didn’t report the accident for nine hours was because he didn’t know about it. It seems he and Mary Jo were having a drive round in his car when he spotted a police car. Not wishing to be seen with her because of an election campaign coming up, he decided to get out of the car and walk,and told her to drive his car onto the mainland and park it. It was a car she wasn’t used to driving, and wasn’t used to the route or the narrow bridge. It would seem that he was lying to cover up the fact that he was trying to cover things up. I find this story more believable than that one person could escape from the car but not the other, or that he was in shock for nine hours, or why he would deliberately leave it for nine hours before reporting it.

@CaesarInVa 3 года назад

I have to keep telling people that the sobriquet "Lion of the Senate", while sounding like a compliment, really isn't. It's what the French call a "compliment gaucher", or what we here in the US call a left-handed compliment. If you think about it, you can easily comprehend why. Sure, a lion looks regal and majestic, has a ferocious roar, etc., but in the animal kingdom lions are also known for spending a preponderance of their time lazing around in idleness, preferring to leave the brunt of the pride's strenuous work, such as hunting, to the lionesses. Pretty damned drole comment, if you ask me.

McGovern was also a bit of a neoliberal centrist before it was cool (or at least he took a "triangulation" position between neoliberalism, old school New Deal policies, and appealing to more moderate student activists as a base). The "demogrant" was a Libertarian-ish response to welfare programs and would reduce people's felt need to collectively bargain if wages stagnated.

@williamfrancis5367 4 года назад

MLK and Thomas Paine were in favour of something like the demogrant, hardly neoliberals. In any case how would a UBI reduce the desire for collective bargaining? If anything it would strength workers by providing them with additional economic security. It also stands in stark contrast the the means tested welfare approach, of welfare in neoliberal era UK and USA which in the case of the first state run antithetical to the ideals of the Beveridgian welfare state.

@KarlWinterling 4 года назад

@@williamfrancis5367 I don't oppose UBI or a universal cash dividend in principle.

It's good even though I don't agree with Mexie on everything.

Joe Kennedy Jr.'s flight was experimental, in that it involved remotely activating an explosion. But what is more interesting is the goal of his mission -- to destroy the little known super weapon the V3. The V-3 was an extremely long-barreled super gun dug into the coast to fire across the Channel into London (worth reseaching!). The allies found out later that the gun was destroyed in a raid prior to Kennedy's to death, so sadly, it appears he died needlessly.

Ted Kennedy wasn't driving the car. He was drunk, the off duty deputy called out, they took off down a dirt road, at some point before reaching the Dike Bridge Ted stopped and got out and told Mary Jo to drive back, as he was drunk and couldn't afford to be collared for DWI, Mary Jo was accustomed to driving a VW Bug, she lost control and went over the side. Ted Kennedy wasn't even in the vehicle. Its almost impossible to open doors while submerged. Wha did he do? Open the door, exit, then close the door behind him? Why did the diver report there were air pockets in the car? I do believe Ted jumped in a number of times to no avail. Its just my opinion, but I've responded to lots of vehicle accidents over the years including a couple of submerged in water whose currents were far weaker than Chappaquiddick. I have to ask how he opened his door. Then if he closed it? That story makes no sense.

@flyingfortress2842 4 года назад

@cagrant4472 4 года назад

He was drunk. She was drunk. He lost control of the vehicle. He had spent his priviledged life with easy access and familiarity with water and was a strong swimmer. He just saved himself and didn't even think once about her, let alone twice, Then later on, he had handlers for damage-control, and they took care of everything except for the speech he had to make to say he was sorry, which I am sure he was--- for himself. Also, he had no intention of running for president: that would have put a big target on his back for every attention-seeking nutjob out there to aim at. There is no "Kennedy Curse", just a run of bad luck and too much media attention. The Kennedys were a mixed bag; some great, some not, and some gone too soon. You know, like, humans only with money and fame. End of story.

@SunflowerSocialist 4 года назад

I was only 12 when Ted Kennedy passed away, and the first time I heard of him was when he spoke at the 08 DNC. Growing up in an Irish American Catholic household in Kansas City, and given both my parents were born in 1960, the only president we loved more in my House than JFK was Harry Truman, for local reasons. This immediately made me like Ted Kennedy a lot, and I was sad when he died in 09, but I hadn’t even HEARD about Chappaquiddick until at least two years later, when my 8th grade history teacher mentioned it (and I think I was the only one in class who payed attention). It’s amazing how this stuff seems so small to us now but back then it was a game changer.

@youraccountingprofessor5013 2 года назад

I was 9 years old when this happened. Like the Kennedy's, I come from an east-coast, Irish-Catholic family (although we were a bit more southern, living in Alexandria, VA, just across the Potomac River, outside of Washington, DC). Now, in 1969, living outside DC, going to a Catholic, private school where most of my friends had at least one parent who worked for the government or on K-Street as a lobbyist or on the Hill as a staffer, politics was EVERYWHERE....politics even worked its way into the conversations of 9 year olds. When Chappaquiddick happened, ALL my friends, all of whom came from democrat families (I think there were only two republicans in my school: myself and one other kid from down the street), were alarmed, to say the least. I couldn't understand it. They acted like it was THEIR father, uncle or brother who was involved, like they had some personal, vested family interest in the accident. I didn't understand it then and I don't understand it now. Maybe it was some kind of psychological transference, some kind of identity-validation thing....or maybe in their desperation to seem older, wiser and more mature, they were just feigning the attitude they saw demonstrated by their parents and elder siblings around the dining room table at night.

Yeah I didn’t really get the point of the movie other than the rich abusing people and getting away with it. But with Ted Kennedy it’s more complicated because the guy most likely had PTSD from how he was raised and the depression and sadness from seeing so many family members die. I’m biased because I love the senator but what happened there is inexcusable. I wish the film would have dived deeper-no pun intended-into what this did to not only his career but to the country in terms of how progressive Ted Kennedy was and how he could never move beyond the senate. Or it could be tied more into sexism or Me Too-but the movie doesn’t really go there-it kind of goes nowhere other than being a hatchet job on Ted Kennedy over something he did wrong, deeply regretted and ruined his political and probably rest of his alcohol heavy induced life.

Cypher, have you considered doing a Based on a True Story review on Lords of Chaos?

@CynicalHistorian 4 года назад

never heard of it before, but I looked it up. I'm not planning on it, especially since it's definitely not my scene

@lordtrigon1733 4 года назад

@@CynicalHistorian Ok fair enough, the metal community already tore it to shreds I just thought it would be interesting to get an actual historian's opinion since you did Bohemian Rhapsody.

@stephenwright8824 Год назад

I was barely one year old when Chappaquiddick happened. I didn't find out about it until I was in ninth grade. I almost always liked Ted Kennedy, though; my grandmother never had anything bad to say about the man, so I guess it started with her.

If those scenes about Joe Kennedy mouthing out "Alibi" and smacking Ted are not true, then I wonder what his reaction to the scandal was, even though he was incapacitated? I noticed that Rose never discussed the matter..

planning on releasing it in about 4 weeks. I've gotta spread these things out long enough to make it through the semester

@storymaker299 4 года назад

@@CynicalHistorian I'll watch for it in a month. I did enjoy the movie well enough, but unfortunately it made the cardinal mistake of having people like Robert the Bruce not act like people in the middle ages would at times. Particularly on his wedding night. HBO's Rome masterfully gave their character's personalities that matched the time period and still make them likable.

I would think you would like Warthunder more then World of Tanks or warships. The world of whatever games kind of arcady while warthunder tries to have more realistic damage models and movement.
