A lot of people seem to think that the late Sen. Edward Kennedy said, "When I returned, Mary Jo and the car were gone!" in the aftermath of the drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne in Kennedy's Oldsmobile in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts in July 1969.
Not so.
The line was from a David Frye Watergate comedy album entitled, Richard Nixon: A Fantasy, that came out in 1973 (I liked him more as a mimic than Rich Little) in an imitated Ted Kennedy voice by Frye.
I still have this album in my collection.
so do i...one of the best political satire works by the great impressionist, David Frye...written by Gabe Kaplan of “Welcome Back, Mr Carter” fame
