An interesting character.
I'm curious to see how history will treat him.

Assuming you want to enlighten EMK guilty past, just throwing a name and a link seems to me like the easy way out. What was your opinion on the man?
Not that I bother about a foreign senator that I'd never heard of before today, i was just wondering about your post.:confused:
Or is it in response to GILD's considerations about history?

He was not so bad. The Kennedys as a family did a tremendous amount of legislative damage to this country but, even taken as a group, did not enact the devastation through social programs that Lyndon Baines Johnson did single-handedly. In that sense he was at least not the worst figure in US history.

History will treat him as a great leader. He was re-elected many times since the unfortunate Chappaquidick incident
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_Kopechne
but that is a foot note that must be mentioned.

He has achieved greatness, and is consistently recognized for that. Edward Kennedy spoke for those who had no voice.

You mean the people under water who could not speak?
