RIP

On August 25 2009 a death shook America. For many this was vastly more important than the death a few months earlier of Charlie's Angel Farrah Fawcett. For some it even overshadowed that of King of Pop Michael Jackson. It was the end of a legacy that made waves in American politics. A man who was, according to Obama, "the greatest Senator of our time". It was, of course, the passing of Edward "Teddy" Kennedy. Named the 'Liberal Lion' Kennedy was a Liberal heavyweight for more than 4 decades, with great involvement in democratic presidencies, particularly those of Clinton and the election of Obama. With the short term affects being the nomination of a intermittent MA Senator, Kennedy's legacy is likely to last.
