I'm struck by the scores of major legislation Kennedy introduced and ultimately saw passed into law. SCHIP, OSHA, minimum wage, and civil rights are a few that come to mind. I think more than any modern day politician, he found his place and voice in the U.S. Senate.

I swear, when someone dies, there should never be RIP thread because all people do is come and piss on it. :doh:
It doesn't matter who it is, Republican or Democrat, famous or not so famous, there's always a hater. :(

The last of the bootlegger's sons dies. I hear Bushmill's stock went down 25%. Last night was a good night for the Republic, another socialist bites the dust. I wish death on no one but I'll not shed a bloody tear for that pompous drunk.
Why even post this? Just don't say anything if that's how you feel.

I'm sure Mary Jo Kopechne agrees with you. I'm just waiting for Sheets Byrd to drop dead now.

Why is the old bastard beyond reproach? I didn't like him in life. Why should I feel any differently now that he's dead? Isn't this what blogs are for, people posting about how they feel?

Did I say that? I'm not a fan of his current politics either, but you're just being flat out disrespectful. His body is still warm and you're ripping him a new one -bringing up Chappaquiddick, calling him a drunk and an old bastard? Come on.
If you hated him so much, why not quietly be happy he's gone? Sure blogs are about posting how you feel, but how about a little couthe?
