Hollywood Made a Great Movie About a Kennedy Tragedy Homicide
2018-03-30
[Townhall] Conservatives’ expectations for honest and fair movies coming out of Hollywood are understandably low. For decades now we have been brow-beaten and lectured by clueless celebrities on everything from saving the Spotted Owl to gun control ‐ the latest flavor of the moment.

But a breath of fresh air is blowing in from the left coast. The new movie ’Chappaquiddick,’ from Entertainment Studios and Apex Entertainment, is a brutally honest recounting of one of America’s greatest public tragedies homicides: the death of Mary Jo Kopechne in a car owned and driven by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.)

Producer Mark Ciardi has a winner, and perhaps it’s his record of brilliantly telling true sports stories (Invincible, The Rookie,Miracle, and Secretariat) that so influenced a talented group of director and actors ‐ liberals all ‐ to buy into a straight-up, no spin or bias, telling of this story. As one might expect, longtime Ted Kennedy senior aide and speechwriter Bob Shrum, trashed the movie (likely without even seeing it) as "a disservice both to the victim and the truth." On the contrary, the movie is a revelation of truth exposing the decades-long cover-up that Shrum, and other defenders of the Kennedy faith, have long perpetuated.

#6  That's a cute ad but with exhaust manifold heating the water just rolled in thru the floor heat channels. Really.

#4  beyond 95mph you began to experience liftoff.
If Teddy'd hit that bridge at 95 he coulda been President.

#3  Was not a winner in the 1/4 mile but stood a chance in the 1/2 and better chance in 1 mile races against the cars of the day.

#2  Agree. Anything beyond 95mph you began to experience liftoff.

#1  I had a white painted version of that car. It was a nice road boat. 425" Super Rocket, 405 HP - only ran on the real premium (2 formula changes ago). It got squishy going real fast. Never dared take mine over 118 mph. The drum brakes on it really were worthless at high speed. {there I did it! An apolitical comment}
