Hopefully this will mitigate the damage he can still do to our country while still a voting member of the US Senate.

Other than that, I wish him the best.....

How can they tell...he was always slurring his speech. How about a breath-a-lizer. Woops, probably mispelled that.

Mid July?

July 18th was the 40th anniversary of his killing Mary Jo Kopechne.

Karma, Kennedy. Karma.
