Nothing more yet...

This could have significant impact on a host of issues. Can people leave their personal stuff aside on this thread?

I’ve read in the past that Teddy is one of the senators who quietly goes to the funerals for service men and women in his district. He aint all bad.

HA Ha ha ... good one

I would take a stab at what Mary Jo will say to him but I don't think they're going to meet in the same place.

Man...that’s sad. I think Someone’s trying to get his attention. I pray the senator listens. And you gotta feel bad for his family.

I simply put myself in his shoes for a moment for situations like this. Regardless of anything he’s done in the past I can’t wish this on anyone.
