Ted Kennedy became a Senator in 1962 (long before Chappaquiddick) by winning a special election.

Hate away, but try to get the facts right, especially when you are calling someone ELSE an idiot.

True. In 1962, Teddy had only been expelled from Harvard, used his daddy's connections to avoid being sent to fight in Korea, and been arrested for reckless driving. His reptilian nature was already evident, but it would be seven more years before he killed a girl.

Still, you know, the “facts” so confidently stated in the post were wrong.

But go ahead, try to deflect from your idiocy! Who does that sound like?

Used to see him in down town Brooklyn near the courthouse.. Seriously breathtakingly good looking.

They are running specials because 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of his death.

I followed him when he was alive but his time is fading out. The new generation won’t become interested in him. The Kennedy mythology is done.

Town & Country really tries to push Caroline’s kids — and Kick Kennedy(I think one of Bobby’s kids? The actress?)

Yeah, and despite the pushing they are not taking off. They just don’t have the charisma/magnetic quality of their ancestors.

JFK Jr. seemed like a genuinely nice person and loyal to his longtime friends. It is sad that his lame, entitled cousins have continued to act like spoiled brats:

There are no surprises to find at this point anyway. I guess part of the reason some people still have an interest is like any tragedy - he didn't do much of note in his life but had all that potential, seemed to have just gotten some things started (like his magazine), etc. I know a few people who still hark back to his father's "Camelot" fairytale and who always followed JFK Jr. since he was part of their own generation.

Potential squandered though. When he died the man was 38, started a ridiculous literary magazine that belonged on a college newsroom floor and failed the bar exam two times.

It’s kind of embarrassing that ABC and others are holding him as anything but a failure to launch.

But this is exactly what I liked best about him. He was a Kennedy but struggled like many of us. He wasn't perfect but so easy to root for.

Also, so easy on the eyes!

Also, if they had left earlier, during daylight, they would likely still be alive. Wonder what they would be doing now? Would he be running for president? Maybe not, after what happened to his dad?

That's the saddest part of it all. During the day he probably could have flown with little problem but I think he and Carolyn were waiting for her sister to get out of work.

I remember that being the case. Then the traffic.
