This writer is sure that all of you are aware of the passing of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, (D-Massachusetts) at the age of 77. He had been diagnosed with brain cancer, and had been battling it for months. In spite of the diagnosis, he attended and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and had been fighting for health care reform, a cause celebre of his.
With the death of his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, one of my personal favorite Kennedys because of her drive, passion, and creation of the Special Olympics, and now himself, the only remaining sibling of the nine children of Ambassador Joseph and Rose Kennedy is Jean Kennedy Smith, the second-to-last born, and was appointed United States Ambassador to Ireland by Bill Clinton in 1993, where she served for 5 years.
Ted Kennedy was a wonderful person, and he will sorely be missed. Although O'Reilly meant it in a mean-spirited fashion, I can think of no greater honor than to call a true piece of health care reform legislation a "Ted Kennedy Memorial Bill" or Law.
