This may be a bit too obvious, but I can't resist:

Ted Kennedy called it "dispicable."

What? And Chappaquiddick wasn't?

There's a great scene in Nixon (another Oliver Stone film, which is very well made although historically inaccurate) where Nixon raves about how Kennedy can get drunk and kill some poor girl, the public forgives him, while he's indicted for a third rate burglary some people under him committed and they tear his head off. Kind of puts things in perspective.
