Teddy Kennedy Passed Away at 77. RIP LIberal Lion

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20090826/US.Obit.Ted.Kennedy/

Today the United States lost one of its most liberal and long serving Senators. Senator Edward Kennedy passed away today at the age of 77.
I didn't always agree with Ted Kennedy and I am not very happy that he called Hillary Clinton a racist on the Senate floor but I do offer my condolences to his family and to the people of Massachusetts. He was the brother of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Bobby Kennedy. Teddy Kennedy lost a bitter Primary battle against Jimmy Carter in 1980.
He was the third longest Senator in history.
I didn't always agree with Kennedy but he was most definitely a force to be reckoned with.
