RIP Senator Edward Kennedy.

A man who really love politics and worked tirelessly for the good of his state and country.

He even managed to garner the favour of the most right wing Republicans in American politics - not an easy feat.

As others have said, a good friend to Ireland too.

Hmmm, I only know of him because he's mentioned in a Simpsons episode.

All sorts of stuff is going to come out now, we may even find out who killed Mary Jo Kopechne and just how close he was to the rape of a young woman...

Unlike his two brothers who got shot by other people, he managed to shoot himself in the foot a couple of times, so never made as much progress up the US political ladder.:(

i've nothing against Ted Kennedy (except for Irelands hard-on for his family) but why?
as mods you tolerate all kinds of offensive ****e against others (Madeline Macann and her parents for example)

what make Ted Kennedy so special?

mike65

And as a venal politician he is a better target than the average private individual.

Hagar

It was a polite request, but if you have problems with me making a polite request as forum mod please take it to PM or Help Desk. On thread discussion is not the way to go.

Mike...

RIP

A true friend of Ireland...

Who???

shenanigans1982

Anyone pick him in the deadpool thread?

Biggins

He was a friend to Ireland constantly.
He continued to try and see a maintaining high number of visas issued to Irish youth.
He fought for a general amnesty for Irish people working in the states after their visa's ran out out or their status changed.

One way or another he had a kind heart for the Irish people.

RIP

- Off the top of my head two reasons; he founded the Congressional Friends of Ireland and fought hard for citizenship for the illegal Irish emigrants in the U.S.

He did more for Ireland than the people you mentioned.

R.I.P. Mr. Kennedy.
