Farewell to the Lion

I just heard that Senator Ted Kennedy passed away. He put up a brave fight, but sadly, the brain tumors were too much for him to overcome.

I did not agree with him on most issues, but he was a rare Senator who was willing to work in a bipartisan way (and by that I mean real bipartisanship instead of the Obama-type) to get something done.

His leadership would probably have helped in the current health care debate. He might have been able to keep Democrats from going down this insane path they are on.

Rest in Peace, Lion of the Senate

Yeah. Bipartisan. Doesn't change the fact that he left Mary Jo Kopechne to die.

And he'll soon learn his punishment for such an offense...but at least on the day he dies, we can appreciate good things he did
