Ted Kennedy eulogy for Bobby Kennedy

Three of the best lines of spoken word delivered in the 20th century:

My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life;
to be remembered simply as a good and decent man,
who saw wrong and tried to right it,
saw suffering and tried to heal it,
saw war and tried to stop it.

Arguably the greatest speech ever written.

...johnson knew those that did what they did to JOHN AND rOBERT were closer than WHAT the people IN THIS COUNTRY knew...that's why he didn't run again...it's like the owner of the electronic voting machines company making a decision with the good ole boy network to put Bush in again...like stealing their first election with Gore wasn't bad enough for the Bshfamily...let alone the country.Someone should audit Bush-see what wealth they got where they got it

@wovokanarchy You MIGHT be able to say that about him during the Kennedy Presidency, but after the war became his responsibility, things started looking a lot different. By the time of RFK's death here, the Vietnam War had pretty much sapped all of President Johnson's will and was well on it's way to killing him. At this point in LBJ's life, he wished he'd never heard of Vietnam

@raelraven2 Oh I agree

The worst behavior at this funeral was by Nixon. He actually had a wide grin on his face as entered the cathedral. I guess it was no surprise, given Nixon's fundamental lack of moral deceny. But still, it is disgusting to see on film.

Utter respect. He had to go through the shit of having all three of his older brothers killed.

[riprandy318]

[andrelebaron]

I'm sure King and the Kennedys are continuing their grand tradition by beating up hookers in Hell.

[druha10304]
