A rare Kennedy who died of natural causes:

You forget Eunice Kennedy Schriver...seemed like a sweet lady.

Well there's another one. My condolences to the family.

I can really feel your sorrow right through that very emotional post. I can tell that you thought highly of this man and opened this thread only to cope with your grief and shock.

I hope you pull through this hard time soon, Chi-Ha.

I admit I'm not one of the members of the cult of the Kennedys. I don't know if anyone else here is.

He was my senator, and I'm proud of it.

R.I.P, Ted.

Wow.. 2 Kennedy's gone within 2 weeks of each other. Eunice died Aug 11th.

There's still one left tho, Jean Kennedy-Smith. She was the Ambassador to Ireland in the 1990's.

Aeroplane
 

Wasn't he in that aeroplane that crashed when some other of Kennedy family died?

You're thinking of JFK Jr and his wife.

Since you like to spout off random facts so much...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is married to Maria Shriver, Ted Kennedy's (and therefor also JFK and Bobby's) niece.

Oh, are we playing Raph's Girl? Can I play?

John F. Kennedy is the father of a tunnel in Belgium. That makes Ted M. Kennedy the uncle.

I still believe there will to be a Kennedy in the White House again. John was so handsome.

It may take a generation or two more. None of the Kennedys around today seem particular interested in the job.

Man, it has been a bad year, folks dying left and right... Teddy, despite his faults, was a great Senator for Mass and always got back to my phone calls and emails quickly and with a sense of understanding for those that he served...

Arnold Schwarzenegger, under the name Arnold Strong, starred in the film Hercules Goes Bananas also called Hercules In New York or Hercules: The Movie.

The accomplishment that put JFK Jr. (John-John) in the public eye for a while before his untimely death in a plane crash. (I remember reading the interview with Dr. Jack Kevorkian in one issue.)

I meant that of the 9 children of Joseph Patrick Kennedy (Ted's father), there's only one still living.

Jello Biafra, former singer of former punk band "Dead Kennedys" studied acting and the history of Paraguay before he went to be a punk rocker.

It figures. Just when the nation is on the brink of reforming health care and fighting off the corrupt insurance companies who spread lies and ignorance, the cause's greatest crusader passes away. Terrible.

Ted was already in a bad way for some time. And it so happens that Bill Clinton's effort to reform health care in 1993 also went down in flames. It's not the matter of one politician's making a difference; if the public isn't going to be behind health care reform, the politicians are not going to enact it.

This should give the Dems the kick in the ass they need to get it passed. Sadly, I can see this having a positive effect on the cause.
