I always looked forward to seeing him speak at Democratic political functions. One of the most entertaining names in the party. RIP.

RIP.



What makes you say that? He died of natural causes

Wasn't being entirely serious tbh.

RIP though. Found this quote from smh particularly illuminating on the Kennedy's influence:

There is now likely to be an intense battle for his seat, which has been held for almost 55 of the past 57 years by a member of his famous family.

Salient lesson on the negative effect driving across bridges whilst pissed out of your mind can have on a political career.

RIP, anyway. Always felt a bit sorry for him because he was the only one of his brothers not to have shagged Marilyn Monroe.

Harsh.

What he did then was terrible and cowardly, but I believe he redeemed himself with his years of dedicated service to his state and the impact he has had in bringing about significant (IMO positive) change in America. A shame he didn't live to see the health care reforms he so desperately wanted.

The fact that tributes to him in the media at the moment are overwhelmingly positive is a testament to the way he turned his life and his reputation around in the last 40 years.
