What politician isn't cheesy and corrupt? the difference was that Teddy got caught. Every politician out there does things that we have no clue and would all get put in jail for. What makes Teddy such an outstanding individual was that he took the blame for his mistakes and kept on fighting for the values that his family really did stand for (yes mayofour the i am saying the kennedy's weren't all built upon lies, in fact Bobby was probably the nicest man to ever hold office.)

@Mayofour Mary Jo Kopechne could have used that health care as Kennedy was letting her drowned slowly in an air pocket of the car he crashed off of a Chappaquiddick bridge. I love the way this cheesy commie loving politician (Yes "commie loving" check his FBI FIOA file) pretends to be sympathetic to the average man when his entire family was built upon lies and back room deals/corruption without a single Kennedy exempt. He is the only man in the world who could buy his way out of drunken murder.

Had it not been for Chappaquiddick, Teddy would have been president and a great one at that.

Mary Jo Kopechnie.

What happened to Ted Kennedy I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Drunken bum, philanderer, and career politician who got blacks and other minorities to keep voting for 48 years just so he could reelected over and over and over again. Nevertheless, Ted Kennedy will sorely be missed by friend and foe alike, an important figure in American political life.

Here we are 32 years later and we still don't have National Health Insurance for everyone. What little the modest Obama plan did towards that is attacked visciously. We need Single Payer healthcare where everyone is in the same boat. Per capita we spend 40% more for healthcare in America than in other industrialized countries and still not everyone is covered. ..... Healthcare is still the # 1 cause of bankruptcy in the USA. It is not right.

Members of Congress get the best Health Care in the World because they have the power at Tax Payers expense to make it happen for themselves. Power that no one else has.

Healthcare starts with pulling Mary Jo out of the car and helping her with CPR

Fat Uncle Teddy is the only reason govt run health care wasn't passed in the 70's. This attention whore/failure/weakest Kennedy link blocked Jimmy Carter's health care bill in the 1970's when Demos had total control just because he didn't want Jimmy Carter to get credit for it. Says Jimmuh carter this week in an interview on 60 Minutes.
Fat, immoral, jealous, bloated failure and idiot. Watch clips of his run for president if you really want laughs.
Edward M. Kennedy was great man with a great mission. He didn't have to give a shit about people like me without health coverage but he did! We need more like him!!

Powerful speaker. It is sad to see the last of those Kennedy brothers die. What a great American legacy.
