Tributes are pouring in from people of many varying and often conflicting political positions for a man who certainly will be remembered as a political icon.

[NewCenturions]

May God have mercy on his soul (and forgive him for being such a poor example of a Catholic)

[Earthdweller]

He also died at God’s request...not Washington’s. It’s a right I hope we all can be blessed with for the future.

Watch for Democrats to name any health care legislation after him and try to push it through as “ let’s get it done for Teddy”.

[Steely Tom]

I think he hated the America he grew up in, and worked strenuously to see it done away with.

My mother taught me: “If you can’t say somehting nice then say nothing at all”.

Okay, I’ll give it a go...

Here goes...

Nothing at all.

MY sincere condolences to his family and friends. I may not have agreed with him politically, but he had people who loved him and those people deserve our best wishes.

[Tuketu]

I am overwhelmed (with joy). He meets all the unborn children he is responsible for, Mary Jo Kopecky,and those departed whose misery he and his drunken clan have caused.

There will be infighting in the NDP, I hope.

Sorry if I offend some who shed crocodile tears.

[Brett66]

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment......

[FreedomFerret]

My Grandma always told us kids “Pray for everyone and just let God sort out the details.”

God bless, Mr. Kennedy.

[politicalmerc]

He died again? I just saw that he died a few minutes ago...

[reagan_fanatic]

I hope Ted is personally greeted by every unborn child who was aborted during his career. Let him see before his very eyes what his beliefs have wrought.

[Haiku Guy]

This is going to
Cause even more nausea
Than the Jackson thing.

Teddy is feted,
But Mary Jo Kopechne
Still lies in her grave.

[McGruff]

At least he lived a long live unlike,

[Badabing Badablonde]

Maybe I’m alone here, but my guess is that behind the closed office and chamber doors in Washington this morning, the Dems are breathing a collective sigh of relief that they no longer have to deal with the living breathing millstone of Ted Kennedy hanging around their necks. Oh, they’ll pay verbal homage to a 40+year serving senator, say all the right things, get some face time and press the flesh, but this guy was a quiet stain that they couldn’t cover up. They don’t have to defend him any longer, they don’t have to always consult a Kennedy when making a power decision, and they no longer have to kiss his sizeable ass. Its the end, FINALLY, of Camelot.

Now then can concentrate on Bamalot.

Ted Kennedy’s Epitaph:

“If you cannot be a good example, then you will just have to be a horrible example.
It worked for me”

[erman]

smells like something died....

[Tanniker Smith]

"While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized -- the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grown old.

Ohhhhh, I gotta save this one! Too bad, it's too big for a signature.

[grey_whiskers]

Reluctant prayers for his soul.

Prayers for his loved ones.

Thanks (presumably) along with MaryJo's survivors.
