BOSTON - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate and haunted bearer of the Camelot torch after two of his brothers fell to assassins' bullets, has died at his home in Hyannis Port after battling a brain tumor. He was 77.

Imagine if he'd really done some damage, you know, like been responsible for a million dead not one.
From what I read he was a well respected senator, by all but the wingnuts.

That's all the brothers now, l think. One was lost here in UK, during WWII on some hush hush mission.

It's what was hushed up all his life that made one realize what a skunk this guy really was. Growing up in the Bay State, one was aware of the word of mouth spread despite the press silence on his DUIs, the endless speeding tickets, the endless affairs that ruined his first marriage, the ham-handed attempts to control patronage in Boston, and God knows what all else. After the old man died, his mother refused to let him go out in public without two handlers to monitor his every movement. His supporters demanded adherence to moral standards he refused to follow.

It figures you'd be one of them.

Volunteered for the draft.
enlisted in the US Army in June 1951 - discharged in March 1953 as a private first class

So Arlington was earned.

Chappaquiddick - guilty in my book.

No gay sex and moralizing about families, so he can't have been a republican.
Parking tickets and affairs, nothing out of the ordinary there, ask any cop.

His brother might have a word or two on the matter of hushing things up. :p Two of 'em, even. :D

Ted Kennedy Dead

After several months of fighting a brain tumor that was in critical stages Ted Kennedy has finally passed.

Agree with him or not I do believe he is one of the last Kennedys alive. I know Maria Shriver is still there but as far as the Kennedy name I am not sure. I think he had a son.

They've got plenty drunks and plenty crooks, one less won't matter.
It's not what he did in MV that was important.
