YEAH, OKAY

Fifty years ago today, Dead Ted's car achieved sentience and jumped into the water entirely on its own, causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.  Nothing about the fat boy being drunk off his ass and basically being allowed to get away scott-free with what, at the very least, should have been a negligent homicide charge by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

It should say: Kennedy, almost certainly drunk at the time, drove off the bridge, and left his passenger to suffer death by suffocation and drowning in the car.

I remember the joke:

Nixon put a man on the moon. Kennedy couldn't get a cutie over a hump-backed bridge.
