And the public just kept voting him back in.
Utterly amazing.

God has a plan, Trust it!
And then he just swam away.
I remember.
Not just swam away...he swam.... to another bar where he proceeded to have more drinks for hours and hours. They didn't find the submerged car until after she was already lond dead.
He called his cousin, not for help, but for a ride home. He never called authorities either, and neither did the cousin when he found out what happened.

Are you sure about that?

She actually survived for hours, her head was in a pocket of trapped air... she didn't drown, she suffocated.
The slimebag should still be in jail for murder.

he should have long since been executed for the willful death of his love/lust interest.

There was speculation that such could be true, but not for hours and I am not sure if it happened at all.
However, the thing that boggled my mind along with all the other things that boggled my mind was that one of Teddy's family retainers was ready and willing to swear that he had been driving the car.
Cooler heads prevailed when it was decided that too many had seen Teddy leave with the lass.
On a more prurient note, Ms Kopechne had no underpants on.

Highly unlikely.
Have any idea how big a pocket of air is required to "survive for hours"??

A scuba diver on the scene had stated that areas of the trunk and back seat were almost dry... probably because the car was not in that much water and the tide would change the water levels.
The diver stated she could have remained alive for as much as five hours.
The point is, there was a house on the edge of the water about 25 steps away so she could have easily been saved, either by a rescue call or some immediate aid. It was a pure case of murder.

I thought the correct date for Teddy's Big Swim was the 19th (tomorrow)? Or is this one of those things that happened really late at night and then both dates get used? Either way, Teddy shares his memories with other notable events (including possibly the world's very first parking meters, which arguably had a bigger impact on humanity than the Big Swim):

This will barely be a footnote, if it gets mention at all, when he finally kicks the bucket. He will be hailed as a champion and great statesmen. The MSM and all the politcal pundits will be falling all over themselves heeping nothing but praise and worship on all that is Kennedy.
I have the book about the incident written by that diver.
It was stone cold cowardice and murder...

First thing that popped into my mind (thread title) was Bryan Adams - Summer of 69 and so on (I was 5 yrs old then).

Just wanted to say about my post, I was kidding around only. Kennedy, IMO, should have paid a price for what he did. You have to live under a rock to not know that story. Knowing/related to people in power is how he got away with things. Not something the rest of us are privileged to having. We would have been fried. The elite in charge throw around the word "democracy", is it really????

I'm a liberal who would never have elected TK to higher office.
I've been to look at Dyke Bridge and the turnoffs thereto. I concluded: bad behavior on TK's part, possibly manslaughter (Murder, 3rd degree).
