America has lost a giant in politics and public policy. I have lost a close personal friend.
People called us the odd couple, which was certainly true. There are few men with whom I had less in common. Ted was born to a famous patrician family of Boston. He attended private schools and Harvard University. He was politically liberal, and liberal in his lifestyle at least until he married Vicki Reggie, who set him straight. I grew up in a poor, working class family in Pittsburgh. Where Ted was the affable Irishman, I was the teetotaling Mormon

Hatch is a RINO.
You can polish that turd all day, Orrin. It is still is and was a turd.
Awwwwhhhh, ain’t this cute. The RINOs are setting themselves up to look like compassionate heros for voting for Kenndedy-care. Orin, you’re scum. Crawl back under your rock, you tool.
Ted was probably really fun to party with.
That’s about all i can really think of....
The Ted Kennedy I knew was one steaming turd on a Boston sidewalk
We do not send them to Washington to "bond" with members of the opposing party.
Only if he paid the bill. :)
Ted Kennedy’s body should be cremated, the ashes placed in an empty Chivas bottle and the bottle thrown off the bridge in Chappaquidick.
Justice would then be served but never for Mary Jo.
The only problem is, that at the end of any 'deal' between Kennedy & a Republican, winds up with America being on the short end of the stick!
LOL
Hatch is a Senator; that is first, party is a distant second, or third...maybe fourth.
Hatch, of course, contradicts himself, ie lies.

Gag me with a spoon.
Creamated?
It would take a month for the fire to go out.
You’re being VERY kind.
Tell that to the crying wives, mothers, and daughters of a good handful of judicial nominees who were personally smeared by Kennedy simply because they took the US Constitution seriously. How could Hatch serve for decades with Kennedy and not understand completely what a sick scumbag he was? ...He was, lol. Teddy Kennedy is certainly "shovel ready" now...
