Teddy Kennedy

In watching some of the coverage of Ted Kennedy's funeral and the speeches given at that time, I was amazed at how much I learned about him. I, of course, always knew that he was a man committed to making the country and world a better place for others but I didn't realize just how much he was devoted to his family. I found his son's speech about how his father held him up and said 'you can do it!' especially moving. He was in many ways a very great man. Yes, as we're reminded by our conservative brethren, he was flawed. Aren't we all? Who among you is that pure that you can judge? RIP, Teddy. Ya' done good.
