Ted Kennedy has died.

Once again I get my news from Pet Talk first.

The man was not a saint, nor was he a devil, but he was a human being, with all the flaws and triumphs that come with being human. Being a part of that family, his life was largely played on the public screen, where everything is magnified, for good or ill.

And he was my senator, for quite literally my whole life. By the time I was old enough to vote, he had already been in office so long as to be virtually untouchable in terms of elections. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

In any case, he leaves quite a legacy.

I will have to aggree with all of your thoughts of this Admired Senator.. He is for sure the last of the Originals of the Kennedys.. He will be missed so much by his family & by congress & by the public.. RIP TK & may you be sailing to the bridge..

I was 11 when he was first elected to the Senate. 47 years is a heck of a long time to be at one job!

He was like the rest of us, neither all bad or all good. I hope he is at peace now. The final chapter of Camelot has been written.

Rest in Peace Senator Kennedy!
